Interested in running a fishing tournament, but not quite sure how to go about promoting one?\u00a0 Don’t fret — you’re not alone!\u00a0 Thankfully, Odds On is here today to shed some light on the topic and help make your next tournament a huge success!<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it may seem like a no-brainer, you’d be surprised as to how many tournament planners neglect to take part in the very first step: plan ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as your club\/organization sets a firm date for the tournament, that’s when you’ll want to begin divvying up tasks<\/strong> to your fellow members.\u00a0 Who will be in charge of advertising?\u00a0 Selling sponsorships?\u00a0 Coordinating with the prize insurance company (should prize insurance for a fishing contest<\/a> at\u00a0your event be desired) to assist with fundraising?\u00a0 It’s crucial that everyone know and understand\u00a0their role.<\/p>\n

Promoting and advertising can take on many different forms — from print advertising (mailers, an article in the newspaper, press releases or flyers) to radio commercials and even websites, the choice is yours.\u00a0\u00a0Effectiveness will mainly depend on the\u00a0demographic you’re wanting to attract to your tournament: do you know your target audience<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> As soon as you’ve nailed down a date for your tournament, send out a mailer notifying individuals of the event.\u00a0 Just because you don’t have the exact<\/em> details yet doesn’t mean that you can’t inform them of the date, location of the fishing tournament, as well as a contact number for someone who can answer any questions.<\/p>\n

Be sure that you\u00a0time your publicity to achieve maximum results<\/strong>.\u00a0 Keep in mind that there are no ‘exact’ deadlines — each medium will inevitably have different needs.\u00a0 Contact the ones you’re most interested in, whether it be your local newspaper or radio station(s), and inquire as to what their specific deadlines are.\u00a0 Then, after taking note of the lead time required, work accordingly.<\/p>\n

Last, but definitely not least, be prepared for possible\u00a0inclement weather <\/strong>on the date of your event.\u00a0 <\/strong>Don’t let mother nature ruin all of the efforts you and your staff\u00a0have put into making your fishing tournament a success.\u00a0 Consider purchasing weather insurance<\/a>, which will ensure that if inclement weather does<\/em> occur, your\u00a0organization will not lose\u00a0your investment.\u00a0 Instead, an insurance company will cover those costs based on the size and type of the weather cancellation insurance purchased!<\/p>\n
