linwood buddie Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 All they have to do is stick the £40 on the price of the ticket and that it doesn't enrage folk into not renewing or buying them, sorted Ricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly common business practice but not seen it in football before. .. two for 1 at less than the cost if each is bought separately. Thanks for the response though. I see Oldham are offering a free scarf. Any other ideas on incentives to buy a season ticket? Edited May 7, 2018 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 To be fair, it isn’t the craziest idea I’ve ever heard. It could be a token discount, say if you buy an ST, get a fiver off a new top, or something. Buy one shirt, get another for a tenner off. Not the worst thread, there have been five hundred worse ones from the OP, and that’s just today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Seem to remember an offer for a free kid's top with season tickets a few years back. Was when JD Sports had the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was when JD Sports had the contract. Indeed, it’s a decent suggestion. Certainly one worth consideration when the club come out and blitz us with their charm offensive and deals to get bums on seats (and I don’t mean Old Firm ones, which seems to have been something of a cart-before-horse priority).

Imagine it... 3 Stands filled and all of us wearing a Saints Top. OK........ So what incentives would you look for or suggest? I think we should be looking at anything that could see that situation but at what cost to the club if they all are wearing free tops from buying a season ticket ? What about the free or reduced Child tickets , do they get a free top ? 1/4 Million pounds of lost turnover and a bill for the club of somewhere in the region of £65000 ? I would prefer to see the club work with local business who would give ST Buddie discounts on services and good bought . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu also came up with a previous offer re a kids top. Oldham have a "free scarf" offer. Birmingham have a points offer which I think is redeemable with local businesses so ties in with another idea suggested in the thread. Thanks. Hope guys and gals keep the ideas coming.

In theory this is a potentially excellent idea and warrants some investigation IMO. Giving away free stuff in the hope of upselling existing customers or gaining more customers is a very common and hugely business practice throughout the world. In my own company I tried offering a no-obligation free trial for new customers, advertised it only on facebook and we trebled our customer base within a few weeks.
