18Slide19
Survey RecommendationsATTRACT Because the 100-meter dash and pole vault were a favorite amongst the majority of our respondents, using
high-action photographs predominantly in promotional material would excite students’ interest and boost attendance. Also, free food is a major motivator for students so continued partnerships with local favorites like the Salty Iguana will be key. INVOLVE Because most students don’t personally know the Relay
participants, turn students into relay participants. Invite members of campus organizations such as Greek Life or Student Senate to participate in relay events just for them: this
will
engage student influencers and motivate the general
student
population to follow
.
19Slide20
Market RecommendationsCONNECT Kansas Relays has a burgeoning presence on Facebook and Twitter.
To create broader student interest, the Relays should create an individual online identity beyond KU Athletics. Create a Relays- sponsored hashtag and encourage students to tweet their experiences at the Relays and to post pictures of them and their friends enjoying the event. These tweets and pictures would make
the Relays more of an "event" for students, much like the basketball games..
Kansas
Relays produces
quality up-to-date
highlight reels.
To build excitement before
the actual
event
, consider producing a
mini documentary
series that i
ncludes athlete workouts and interviews
with
Olympic
hopefuls
.
20Slide21
Market Recommendations ENGAGE To maximize attendant involvement at the events, encourage a Relay-sponsored
hash tag to display live tweets on MegaVision. To keep fans informed, develop mobile alerts and a system to send real-time text alerts about event happenings and drawings for attendees.
