Yes they have a new ground and conferencing offering, but tempering the art of the possible. Don't laugh they have a very active funeral service offering, anniversary offering and birthdays offering. they also have an active business meeting offering. We are stepping that up, but the quality of the offering looks very professional. They also offer extended sponsor package. Another club is active on the Comedy venue circuit, mediums, business network non football, and other activities. We are certainly improving all the time, but lets steal the best bits from other people's offerings. It was great to see the fixtures breakfast session, if I lived closer I would have gone. I asked our club for Commercial brochure before they went on social media, and it took a while to engage. Some of the above companies are all over my one email to their commercial department.What do Shrewsbury offer that we don't? And do we need to move to a new stadium to have equivalent facilities to offer similar?
I think we need to think out of the box, how about having some business rooms at the Academy and using the space for training and commercial. You could link into learning and also business. I went to the training ground a few weeks ago for a nosey when down, and it was very quiet. We could use the facilities in the off season to do business team builds and link into the coaching element. Public speaking, motivational speaking, team building events. People could be booked in on a rota to support.
As for moving, not an advocate unless we sell-out more often. That said look at the facilities at the ground and use them more aggressively on non-matchdays.
