AK-Zips Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Zipsnation, i have found the long lost promotions for Akron basketball this season. There appears to be a white-out for the Nevada game! Go to the GoZips.com homepage and click promotions or just Click here. So, yes that was a joke, but in all seriousness at least the Ak-ROWDIES homepage has been updated from last year. Again, go to the GoZips.com homepage or www.AK-ROWDIES.com. Again, another joke! That's all i can take. The season started on November 13th. At least a good rule of thumb would be to have the promotions from your marketing plan laid out for the public 30 days in advance. 30 days before the first game against UALR would be October 13th! It has been 69 days since the public should have been notified of the promotions for the basketball season! Each day i will be posting an additional day that has gone by without public knowledge of promotions being done for men's basketball!

Bleacher Bum Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I don't know what you're talking about. I just heard a commercial for Akron Basketball today on WONE. TOO BAD IT WAS FOR THE GAME TWO DAYS AGO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'm sorry. I deal with radio stations every day. YOU, as the advertiser, tell THEM when you want to run your ads. Bleacher Bum...thanks for the observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Zips Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Running clock is at DAY 70... There are still no signs of life on the promotions page of GoZips.com or the Ak-ROWDIES homepage. By the way, it's hard to blame the student group for their own website when athletics own the rights to the domain name and hosting according to the 'whois' directory. The rights don't expire until July 13, 2008. I love public information. So this puts the blame of the student group website AND their own promotions page!!! Pathetic!

Zip Watcher Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 If there are motivated Rowdies who want to set up and administer a site, like www.ak-rowdies.org or something like that, the Nation has more than enough hosting space to accommodate them .. we could work something out.

Bleacher Bum...thanks for the observation. Well, I worked in radio for many years. When a spot has an expiration date on it, you don't run it.It should even appear on the log (that's what the board op uses to tell what spot to play).If they ran an old spot, the client deserves a "make good."Sorry, this one falls on the station.

Bleacher Bum Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I heard another commercial today on WONE, this one for the Loyola Marymount game. (Yes, it did have that gay little 'Fear the Roo' jingle at the end -- Can we get rid of that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gozips19 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 For some of the early season games, why not give a ticket to every school kid in the city? That's how I started coming to the games. We need to be creative.''K.D. in the abj today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipAlumn Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 AK-ZIPS log for December 26, 2006. There still appears to be no life in regards to public knowledge of any promotions or other happenings in Zips Athletics.DAY 74 ... and counting!Go Zips beat Loyola Marymount!I do believe that you are wasting your time AK-Zips. Since the beginning of the year I've sent several e-mails concerning the various problems with gozips.com (small letters intentional) such as errors in box scores, late postings of game news, etc. And guess what ....... NOTHING HAPPENED ... not even a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Zips Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I think i'll print out this thread and hand it over to the ticket office before friday's game. Maybe, just maybe someone will put together a website that any third grade class will be proud of. baby steps people... baby steps.DAY 75!Zipalumn i think you are right. this is a hopeless cause for concern. However i will keep this up until the next home game where i print out the thread and turn it in. after that i will bury this thread right along with the marketing department.

ZipAlumn Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 DAY 76!Here we go marketing staff here we go! **clap clap!**(rinse and repeat) AK-Zips - after carefully looking over gozips.com again I have come to believe that the Marketing Department is doing a GREAT JOB. It's just that they aren't marketing the Zips. It's obvious that in looking at the ads for companies like Hilton Inn; Air Tran; ComDoc; Montrose Auto Group; Classmates.com; Giant Eagle; Winking Lizard; etc (this could go on forever) that our Athletic Marketing Department is hard at work. I really think you are being too hard on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
