Marketing
- Event Flyers & Posters
- Basics
- 5 “Ws” and “H”
- Who, What, When, Where, Why and How
- These MUST be on the flyer! Do NOT create a piece that requires someone to take any more action steps that looking at the flyer!
- Your event is competing for attention in a marketplace that is overwhelmed with messages
- People are lazy. All they do is scroll through feeds all day. They’re not going to take any more steps unless they are REALLY interested.
- Don’t give them an “out” to not know the complete details of your event.
- Make it BIG if Print
- Don’t clutter it with too much stuff.
- Again, competing for attention. Every minute detail is NOT necessary and might cause a viewer to miss the important stuff.
- The concession stand menu is not necessary
- Start Early
- When you rush you put yourself in pressure situation where you may not have time to do a thorough review. Errors, content, etc.
- Give yourself plenty of time for printing. Good 4 color process printing can take 14 days if you don’t have a “connection” or aren’t a priority customer for the press.
- Give yourself time to properly promote your event.
- Putting out flyers the week prior to your event will likely be unsuccessful
- Copy shop v. Print Shop
- Copy Shops: FedEx/Kinkos; MailBoxes Etc.; UPS Stores are fine, but you will not get the quality of a true print shop using a press (most likely digital for 4 color)
- Print Shops: online or “brick and mortar” print shops that use presses (digital or otherwise) will provide a far superior product
- Cons: time frame and MAYBE cost
- Pros: superior quality and MAYBE cost
- turns on your price per item and how many you are ordering
- You will need to do your homework on cost
- We have a print vendor that does very nice 4 color work and their pricing and quality is a great value
- Design
- Creativity is NOT the first focus. Easy readability and attention grabbing is f

- Time Off
- Focus on Enjoying Time Off
- Rodeo generally slows down in the colder months. Many of us see a significant slow-down and that means NO REVENUE!
- First, as a businessperson, you need to plan for this trough in activity
- Second, soak up the time at home and with your family. For some, time with family will make you appreciate being on the road.
- Third, use this time wisely after you have re-charged your batteries.
- Get social media/web set up, updated, refreshed
- Work on your acts
- Make networking/marketing plans
Movie Review? Again?- Star Wars, The Last Jedi
- Overall entertaining, but not the greatest ever
- Too many jokes
- Again, a bit Derivative, felt kind a like Empire Strikes Back
- The life lesson
- Luke is ready to throw his hands up because he has perceived his failure.
- Yoda comes along and drops the truth bomb on him:
- Paraphrasing: “You learn the most from your failures!”
- This is right along the lines of Gary V, Andy Frisella, Jocko
Animal Welfare- Incident in New York with PBR
- Facebook Video
- PBR Stock Contractors and families cursing and carrying on with vulgar language
- Tuff Cooper D.Q. in Canada
- Future of Sport in the Lens of Animal Welfare
- Barnum and Bailey shut down
- Sea World has made vast changes
- The radical Animal Rights factions believe that you shouldn’t even be able to have domestic pets…look it up!
- Every person in the sport of rodeo MUST consider themselves an ambassador of animal welfare
- Animal Rights groups are very smart, they will peel away at the sport-event by event.
- Calf Roping is the start.
- Some places it is outlawed.
- Prognostication: Canada will be the first to Fall-I hope I’m wrong.
- What to do?
- First and foremost, ALWAYS remain calm, reasoned, pleasant, friendly
- Understand from the “get go” that you are not going to convince them otherwise
- Most of the time, it’s NOT a good time to have a debate.
- We saw this in the NYC PBR Video. They came to ambush folks and get somebody to act ugly, mission accomplished!
- Don’t be worried when they are videoing!
- At every rodeo, from pumpkin pulling to WNFR, everyone else has a video camera (phone) recording.
- Why are they different?
- What are you doing that you are afraid to have recorded?
- Situations do arise in our business that we would not want recorded, but we need to do our best to avoid those times.
- You need to be prepared at all times for this to happen. Regardless of the venue.
- Don’t do stupid stuff:
- Don’t bring crippled stock to an event! (I have seen it over and over)
- I know, stock gets crippled on the trailer, on site, etc.
- If something looks unsavory, think about:
- It’s a balancing act.
- Where you are going with it? Is there likely to be issue at this venue?
- The scale is sliding. In NYC the stakes are higher than in Stamford, Texas
- The level of “unsavoryness”
- Do you absolutely need to bring this individual stock?
- Is there a replacement?
- Is this an extra?
- Can another one “pinch hit”
- Is it worth the potential “heartache?
- CANNOT react the way the NYC deal went down! THIS is what they want and it plays into their hands.
- You will NOT change these folks mind in this environment-they
