SLP Marketing / Promotion Suggestions Wanted!

[wingnut]

As you well know SLP is in its marketing/promotion phase where we are trying to get the word out about us! We are looking for new and creative ways to make our name synonymous with FUN. So lets hear anything you have!

You might wanna try to get on one of those UAB signs that they put on all the tables in every cafeteria. I'm not really sure whats required to get on it but it is basically the one thing on campus that everybody reads. Might be worth a shot. Their site is http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uab/

[wingnut]

Good idea! we will look into that!

Um, I think the best thing to put onto the UAB would be upcoming LAN events at FRAG. I don't think they'd give us anything else (i.e. a side of the box saying \"join us\"). Plus, I don't know if we can do it if we aren't an RSO (are we an RSO?).

[Jbob]

not yet, we are working on that.

[Assassin]

Should happen soon.

[Kal]

a facebook announcement might not be a bad idea. i think they are like $5 dollars though im not sure if u can get it exclusively for MSU. but an idea none the less.

We could also try making a facebook group....might be able to get some people that way

[wingnut]

If you want to...go for it. I dont use facebook much anymore since I am not a student.

One thing that BSG did was have some T shirts and Hoodies made up with the words \"Big Shot\" on the front and our logo and \"Big Shot Gaming\" on the back, thats what the hoodie was like. Some of the guys bought them, and also there wer some made up for prizes at the lans. Also to go with your facebook idea, it wouldnt hurt to make a myspace page. There has been talk of doing this for BSG, but nothing as of yet. Put your site name in your signature for emails, things like that. Those are just a few ideas.

Here is a link for our shirts, and of course, feel free to order one if you wish :p http://www.bigshotgaming.com/index.php? ... 70&catid=4

As I said before to Jbob and everyone else, I saw the lan flyer by accident at Rather. What first caught my eye was the picture of the girl's dance team and then I saw what looked like stick figures playing with more sticks. So my suggestion is more eye candy.

[wingnut]

So should we implement a SLP girls dance squad?

Close...but maybe a female-only tournament?

Well, from what I noticed on the sidewalks at the beginning of the semester, all you need is some chalk and something to promote and people will get the message.

My suggestion when the snow clears (near the time frame of the next event) just get a couple sticks of chalk and write something like:
"You got game? Sparty Lan Party . com"

or just "SLP" on a computer screen

[Jbob]

we've(I've) done some sidewalk chalking a couple of times, but yeah, snow owns it

Agreed.

one thing the Pre-vet club did was spray-paint the snow itself, it's quite visible.

Agreed.

You failed the mention of free beer.
