Pick a major professional sports team that is located near you. Describe how the professional team could use the four E’s of experiential marketing to design experiential marketing programs.
A major professional sports team about 20 minutes from where I reside is the Washington Wizards. In regards to entertainment experience, the Wizards can use their arena that consists of sporting events and concerts to absorb senses through people. With those two different types of events in their arena, people are able to use their eyes while watching a basketball game or use their ears while listening to various performers at a concert. Another method could be the Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks attending various events pertaining the team

An example of this is having the Wizards organization conduct polls for what the participants want to see happen during events. Polls like what the participants would want if the Wizards win a game or if they complete a challenge or task during the game that is a possibility to occur. Another example of experiential marketing programs through escapism would be promoting the Wizards through video games like NBA 2k. Participants can create an experience where they can assume a role from team general manager to also making adjustments to rosters via trading and perform other personnel decisions as an actual general …show more content…
Customers can dictate the outcome on whether or not they will receive a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. The whole concept of this is for customers to be so immersed in the sporting environment by getting as loud as they can so the opposing player can miss both of their free throws in which everyone in attendance can receive a free Chick-fil-A sandwich by showing their ticket stub. At this sporting event, the players are able to create the environment which I think is awesome. This experience gives users the feeling that they are valued as if they are literally in the player's head as they attempt free
A business must be highly competitive in the business markets today. For a business to grow successfully, remain sustainable, and competitive a business needs a good understanding of a marketing plan, and the knowhow to put the concepts to work for the business achieving a successful marketing strategy. Remaining successful when an economic growth has leveled out shows a sustainable business. Competitors that follow the same marketing concepts will need to develop a good marketing plan, and implement the concepts into a marketing strategy to remain a competitive business. A good marketing strategy contains a marketing plan describing the products offered, and taking into account
Family and friends and people who have never even met before all come together to celebrate the players. These players are glorified and the students become excited. Humans are crazy about sports, and it is obvious in the world’s culture and history. Parents celebrate their children, and fans come from far and wide to watch the popular city team play. Jay Evenson, author of the article “Union Football, Spencer Hadley: This is why sports can really matter”, asks the question that humanity has always been searching for the answer to, “What is it about watching people chase, swat or shoot a ball that not only captivates people but makes them develop loyalties that can, at times, cause grownups to behave like infants?” (Evenson). Fans and teams do crazy things for their sports. “There is evidence colleges were enrolling good players and pretending to put them in classes as early as the late 1800s” (Evensen). People were crazy about sports even so long ago. Over time this culture has turned into more than a past-time, but it has been developed into a getaway and a learning place for everyone.
Marketing Program. List the principles that should be observed in a marketing program. Give two specific examples of how these can be applied to a sport program. Describe why this would be advantageous. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
The NFL beat out their competition of other sports and businesses by starting early in the mid 2000’s. Next, objectives: determines the mission, goals, and outcomes. The stated mission by the NFL Play 60, “To make the next generation of youth the most active and healthy” (http://www.nfl.com/play60). Third, strategies: the strategic constructions of messages, choices in regard to media, and decisions about presentation activities. Messages about physical activity are always important, but when your favorite athlete on your sports team informs you, it’s more important.
When their teams compete, spectators’ feel a part of the action and are emotionally attached to the team. If the team wins, they share in the exuberant celebrations; if they lose, they may feel disappointed but, like the players and coaches, they look forward to the next game or the next season. My father is a prime example; a Buffalo Bills fan, he endured four Super Bowl losses in a row, but still is a fan. Diehard sports fans, like my dad, are committed to the teams, win or lose. They loyally purchase sports apparel that display their team’s name or logo; they proudly wear their favorite player’s jersey; and they gladly slap bumper stickers and other fan items on their vehicles. As Kirchheimer points out from Daniel Wann, Ph.D., a psychology professor from Murray State University in Kentucky, “Sports fandom is really a tribal thing” (Kirchheimer, 2012, p.294). Diehard sports fans feel satisfaction and happiness in their committed connections and support for their favorite teams and
Discuss what is meant by the term “customer orientation”. Illustrate with examples how companies demonstrate their customer orientation by reference to at least two elements of the marketing mix.
Before the advances in technology, an audience was a special word reserved for a select group of people, in person, witnessing an event first hand. Entertainment used to actually take effort, being a member of an audience carried a sense of pride and unity. In the present era, entertainment is one tap of the finger away, and being a member of an audience holds zero intimacy or significance. In this paper, I will examine the current strategies that each party is implementing to gain an edge, what the future holds, and potential advances in the realm of sports consumption.
Another way to bring out the feel of the game is using players’ reactions. Displaying a team’s celebration of a big win is a great tool to use when creating a broadcast that conveys the emotional aspects of the game. Watching a player argue with an umpire while contending a play or seeing a fist pump after a game saving play humanizes the game and increases the connection to the

In this paper, I have researched to find out how this grant empire has become and remain so successful. I found out that one of the reasons is because it has been able to maintain the goals and standards that its owner, Mr. Sam Walton has built it upon. Even after his death, Wal-Mart continues to expand and grow in other countries. Wal-Mart is considered one of the top ten global companies today. Mr. Walton’s main goal was to sell products at a low price so that people could live a better life. Another reason is because Wal-Mart uses certain market mix strategies such as the four P”. These strategies, price, promotion, product and place.

The experiential approach may have some challenges. To be effective, it requires careful planning. Experiences can sometimes be confusing and therefore it is difficult in using them. A successful execution of this approach also requires monitoring and evaluation.

Generally, events-and-experience-based marketing would incorporate marketing events such as incentive or reward program (such as through product launches and exclusive open days); conferences providing product sampling in conjunction with publicity and branding messages; created events (such as road shows and press conferences); contests and competitions (including exhibition presentations and corporate entertainment vehicles); and trade show or charitable activities, such as fundraisers. Typically, benchmarking provides an empirical objective method of tracking the effectiveness of marketing efforts. Kudler will primarily employ the mechanism of
Tablet PC has been advertised as the wave of the future for reading, gaming, and media consumption for quite some time now.
