Why hasn't there been any effort to advertise the basketball program? Nothing, no TV adds, radio, or billboards along 90 or 787. Did they blow all the money for the advertising budget on the CBI last year? 5900 at the home opener should have opened some eyes. The next home game is the maac opener if the number isn't close to 7000 someone isn't doing their job.

They lost the first game. Forget about 7,000.

Didn't they just cut budgets? Not to mention a very soft schedule. Slow start... 10 day break... my guess is you see it pick up soon after the break... otherwise advertising is wasted

Right. Why advertise when you don't even have a product to sell (ie: few games).
I also agree that the casual fan will hang back until we're winning a few. A win doesn't guarantee a big crowd next game but a loss pretty much guarantees a small one.

They aren't even mentioning the Stewart's fourpack. Its a secret. |

They finally found them in the back. |

Also, because of the retail demand due to the holidays, advertising inventory is much more expensive this time of year than it is in Jan/Feb. If they want to stretch their budget, I expect you'll see a lot more PR again after the holidays.

I go to a lot of different Stewart's in the area and haven't seen one yet. Even if that's the case in CP what a minor league operation of advertising Siena basketball.

Those ticket packages would make great stocking stuffers, impulse buy. |
