New York Mets contrive promotional schemes to bring fans to the Citi Field - MLB Update
On the backdrop of financial crisis, one of the ways New York Mets can resort to is thinking up ways to experience the maximum number of sell-out crowds. A scheme involving the presentation of giveaway dates to the first 25000 fans entering in the ballpark
points to an effort in this direction.
As a matter of fact, fans love to see clubs’ Hall of Famers while they watch the current lot playing in the ballpark.
Bobblehead dates that fans receive during the match actually go to invoke the pride they once enjoyed with the presence of players pictured.
Especially at a time when club is performing poor, best way to assuage fans is letting them hold Bobblehead dates in hands of the players who had been contributing immensely in the past.
The fact Mets entered the season with pessimism dominating their prospects, management knew it will have hard time in pulling fans to the stadium. Therefore they had to turn to measures which will kind of propel mammoth number of fans to the ballpark.
Bobblehead dates of various players have been designed by the Mets.
Rusty Staub Bobblehead, a player who had been with the Mets for nine seasons and had been fans’ first choice over the years will be handed on May 26. In-effect, Mets are sure to attract mammoth crowd on the day.
Apart from this, an REO Speedwagon concert will be entertaining fans on June 15. The fact Mets are performing unexpectedly well so far, promotional schemes contrived will add to the excitement of the fans.
Moving on, Dunkin Donuts Gift Card and Mike Piazza Bobblehead are also on the menu. It will be hard for the fans to resist the temptation now.
Huge crowds are expected and seen as one of the sources for the Mets to ameliorate financial pains they are going through at the moment.
After all, the Mets delimited their options owing to the lack of money and did not buy players they otherwise will have liked to go after in the off-season purchases. Something they do not want to experience next year and thus promotional giveaways are a
step in the right direction.
