Spring and Summer are the perfect
time for America’s Favorite Pastime…Baseball!! I have listed
below several perfect opportunities for ways to increase your
participation in local baseball events or to capture a corporate
event with a baseball theme.
Baseball Kit

Employee Night at a Baseball Game
A copy
sponsored an employee outing at a local baseball game. They
put the tickets in the Ball Game Kit along with the baseball stating
“Success Through Teamwork”. The employees not only received the
great goodie bag, they were surprised with the gift of game tickets
inside.
A large
trucking company introduced their new services by inserting a
pamphlet into the baseball kit and mailed to their customers and
managers.
Invitations/Coupons
Mail baseball
game kit to guests inviting them to an event: birthday parties, open
houses, weddings, grand opening, company picnic, incentive trips.
Insert coupon to be redeemed at the event for additional gift.
The
Ball Pro Catalog also has many other baseball items available. I
have pictured a few above.
Promotions
A care wash had
their name put on baseball key chains and handed them out to
customers who upgraded to the deluxe super wash.
A garage door
company buys softballs with their name on them. Prospective
customers throw the balls at their garage door to see if they can
dent the door. If they dent it, the door is FREE.
Customer
Mailing
A major cereal
company used baseballs for a mailing to introduce a new line of
cereal.
New Ballpark
or Store Opening
Use baseball
bat key chains or pens for promoting an opening of a new ballpark in
the area.
Bring in a big name and have an
autograph signing with a Rawlings Official League baseball to the
first 500 customers.
