The Sports Expo today at Scottrade Center was a fantastic experience. We passed out flyers, pocket schedules, and even some free tickets. We told everyone all the details of our league while a slideshow scrolled pictures of games set to music. We had a banner made that had all the teams on there (Sherry, yes the Monkey's were on there!). This event was great exposure for the St. Louis community. We collected business cards and emails as well to help build the fan base. We also met some very interesting people. One of my favorite groups of people were the Professional Female Football players (the team is called the St. Louis Slam). They are also a niche sport and we talked about doing some cross-promoting. We could do something funny such as have a minor team play them in flag football at halftime and our boys could go to their games as well and promote our league (the games are at CBC high school). Additionally, an administrator from a Francis Howell school suggested some of our pro players show up at their fitness expo on March 9th and give a hockey demonstration on the gym floor. Great way to promote and get kids interested in the sport!!! The Hanson Brothers were in attendance as well and everyone received autographs from the Slapshot stars. I want to give a special, special, special thanks to everyone who helped including setup, promoting, and working 1-5 PM. Everyone had a smile on their face and had a great time. Pictures from the event will be posted soon.
