Marketing ideas for Argos

[AngeloV]

I would bet the farm that Manning has no clue who TJ Jones is.

What farm? You’re not from Saskatchewan, and this ain’t Hee Haw.

Manning has the Azurri lads ready to go. The 50,000 that watch TFC on TV will be thrilled with the effort he puts into running TFC. The over 750,000 plus that will watch the Argos on Sunday night will be left scratching their heads as to why he and his bosses at MLSE don't see the opportunity they have with their football team.

Because Regina and Winnipeg aren't as glamorous as Columbus and Orlando City

You expect that many viewers for a TFC game?

There worth $1 Billion right? So they must have solid TV numbers, attendance, off the charts following on social media, incredible TV deal, blue chip Canadian and global multi national corporations breaking their doors down to be part of the magic?
I say this tongue in cheek but the Argos do have pluses like TV viewership. And they should be exploited and developed not treated like an ugly stepchild. Not all the viewership is in Saskatchewan.

I see some baseball clubs are holding contests where the winner gets to throw a pitch before the game starts. Maybe the CFL could do something similar. For example, maybe have a contest where the winner gets to flip the coin for the coin toss? Something like that might generate interest?

This did conjure up some thoughts. I would find it interesting to know what goes into making a successful minor league baseball franchise and what can be glomed from it.

How about the winner gets to make a tackle?

Winner gets a case of Sleeman 2.0

Winner gets a case of Sleeman 2.0

Oh Jolly Joker. I sat through the double header Thursday night and went to bed after with that commercial embedded in my head. Counted it 11 times during the Winnipeg Edmonton contest last night. “Why not make it 2.0”????

I think our O-missioner is looking to somehow use that commercial to help sell CFL 2.0. After all they both have 2.0 in their names. How can it possibly fail?

Here's something the Stampeders just started with specific appeals to different types of fans now that their attendance is failing. Do you think its worth trying with the Argos?

Those are good packages, BTW the AMA is the Alberta Motoring Association in case anyone was wondering. But the real problem for Toronto is getting people to the point where they are looking at the packages. Unfortunately, I think that is far from happening and is the real issue.

Send a car flag to all STH's either for Labour Day or the playoffs and then give a bunch away to the general public.

Nothing says legit competition in an international city like flags. Cheap. Simple. Effective.

The Stamps used to (maybe still do) give out horse-logo stickers for car windows and you'd see them all over town. The Argos might be able to do that with simple white A logo stickers.

It says Manning will find the time to appear at this. Might be a good time to ask when he can find time to appear for the Argos.

The league as a whole has attendance issues, even Sask.
MLSE needs to take control of the stadium operations.
Then instead of 1 stand have stadium wide cheap menus.
Make everything 5 bucks. 5 dollar footlong hotdogs 5 dollar tickets 5 dollar small beers 5 dollar.parking.

Every game a giveaway, bobbleheads jerseys etc. Why do only the Blue Jays have decent giveaways?

Or sign some big name QB and receiver. But not sure what kinda name would qualify. Maybe Baker Mayfield if he cant find a decent contract next year.

TFC crowds werent that great this year, they signed 3 Italians and sold out the last game. You can either go that route or Savannah Bannanas and go full minor league experience.

So in a league that has a 5 Million $$ salary cap, how does a team sign a Baker Mayfield and stay under the cap? TFC can dump insane amounts of cash on these guys because MLSE doesn’t mind losing their shirts on the soccer team for whatever reason.

Agree, sounds great but not feasible for many reasons.
