This a great tool to get people to our site. Soon after I opened a Twitter account and currently have followers. It acts as another way to get information out, especially to those who want up to the minute posts regarding our athletic teams and how they did that evening. I created the website myself and over the last couple of years it has included podcasts as well. There are currently plus people on our distribution list.
Some of them have signed up through the website and others have signed up by filling out our information card which I make available at awards ceremonies turn in card and automatically entered into a drawing for a sweatshirt that night , incoming 9 th grader orientation, and our registration day for all students prior to school starting. Website is below.
This boosters group was basically treading water when I took over. I started an actual paying membership to join with perks included brochure is in package I sent. In order to get members to join you better have some pretty good perks. Sooooo, I installed stadium seats at our stadium. The first year I put in 68 seats. Instant success as all seats were sold out months before football season started and the waiting list was so great I installed an additional row of 29 the 2 nd year for a total of 97 seats.
All 97 stadium seats were sold out this year. There are also 84 bleacher seats of which 70 were sold. I incorporated these seats into our membership packages, which included reserved parking for the two highest paid packages. The parking around are stadium is at a premium because it is located slightly off campus and in a residential area, leaving few spaces available. Upgrading current facilities is another way to help promote your product. One of my big goals coming in was to improve our weight room facility, currently located in a foot portable with decades old equipment.
The biggest setback was that building in California on any public campus requires mounds and mounds of red tape and inspections which typically drive up the cost of a project by 5 times the normal amount if you were doing it privately. Our boosters were making more money than they ever had through various fund raisers and a more streamlined snack bar at football games. It helps to have the right people in leadership of your boosters and I am very, very blessed to have had two great individuals at the top who have helped really turn it all around.
So, after numerous meetings, talking to the right people, bending the right ears, the district is actually providing a 2, square foot building for us. It helped that the boosters were committed to equipping the entire building.
