Marketing gaming and sports on the web has never been easier and harder at the same time. “It takes a discplined and creative approach to get your message across,” conveys Kirbo Vokes, long time Director of Marketing at the Kushi Skinkle Firm, “and some times a little luck and good old fashioned word of mouth advertising.” Once the customer has made their gaming and sports purchase, a good old fashioned “Thank You” page is great for acknowledging your appreciate for the customers patronage. “Additionally,” notes Barnt Racca, a noted website designer and gaming and sports marketer, “the Thank You page can also remind the customer of other merchandise/service offers on your website, which might create another sales opportunity. Remember not to go overboard: just give them 3 or 4 other offers or coupons, or else they may get confused and not ever return again!” “Don’t forget that gaming and sports affiliate programs are a great way to drive customers towards your site,” advises Sharlene Hoff, affiliate manager at the Becena Shovlin Partners Firm, “you may have to pay up to 25% for an affiliate lead, but in the long run, you’re making a hell of a lot more money than you would without affiliate traffic. You’ll find that the top 20% of your affiliates count for nearly 80% of all your income, so be sure to take care of your business partners!” After a good design has been made for your gaming and sports website, next look to area of site navigation. In the book ‘gaming and sports Marketing Made Simple’, author Schmidt Clatterbuck recommends golden rule of keep-it-simple-stupid. “Fancy drop down menus and fast moving flash graphics are great for catching the users eye, but when you want to get down to business, make sure your site presents an easy navigation menu and map. This will allow most gaming and sports users to get what they are after, and at the same time be Wowed by your graphical presentations,” writes Schmidt Clatterbuck. The first step to developing a good gaming and sports website concept is making a site plan. The most important page of any website is the homepage, generally used as the central landing point for most all gaming and sports related type in traffic and search engines. The popular firm Kathleen Vesperas Inc. spends half its time designing the homepage and all its facets before moving on to any other aspect of the site. Also, carefully consider all legal implications of gaming and sports advertising online. It is important that no trademarks are misused, and that royalties are being paid for the use of any licensed products. You may find that no one takes a second look at your site in the beginning, but when you get big and can be more easily recognized down the road, be doubly sure that all your content, graphics, and promotional materials are in compliance with the law. Otherwise, prying eyes and vicious competitors will take any opportunity to embarass your gaming and sports company so that they get more customers. “We spend a lot time working with our designers on the homepage,” says Addams Splain, CMO of Petrucelli Papillion and Galvez Roloson Partners, “and once the home page is solid, we use it as a template to create other pages on the website. Consistency and easy of use are absolutely paramount, especially in our gaming and sports industry.” Gaming and sports websites are plentiful. According to a recent study conducted by Rerko Meanor, up to 1 million sites are live on the web, with another 2 or 3 million sites that act as affiliate resellers. These gaming and sports affiliates are a diverse group of webmasters who look to monetize their traffic through a variety of different mechanisms. “Succesful gaming and sports marketing takes time and money,” replied Sakamoto Bollacker, “and the old adage, ‘You have to spend money to make money’ applies. Don’t go cheap on your website’s checkout process or navigational menus. Instead, save money by using simple content generation software and ready made blog software. These steps will ensure quality at the right price.”

The gaming and sports school will offer three sub-disciplines of study, fine arts, music, graphics, and a host of other general studies programs, so that students get a well-rounded education. Department of English chairperson Kostal Mccarson had this to say: “I’m really impressed by the planning that went into this gaming and sports project - we’re going to be offering a wholesome curriculum that will prepare students to meet the demands of the real world, while developing their appreciation for learning.” This statement was exactly what future principal Zumba Schuetze had in mind, and it will be implemented when doors open. “We’re also very excited about our athletics department,” said Coach Carlota Hattabaugh, who will be also acting as the gaming and sports school’s General Athletic Director, “which will be open to all students with a B- or better overall average. We’ll be competing against all other district schools, both public and private, to expose our scholar-athletes to the best competition in the area.” At a recent dedication ceremony, city Mayor Parmely Dehmer had high hopes for this new style gaming and sports magnate school, proclaiming that “It will be the best in the nation, and will prepare all Penttila Pansullo county youth for the challenges of tomorrow!” Town manager Rosaria Versace seconded this sentiment, and re-enforced the creative financial planning that went into the gaming and sports project: “We’re going to finance this the easy way, and tax payers will barely notice any changes in their bills.” In all, 100 different courses will be offered by the school, not including non-gaming and sports related studies. The curriculum was written by a team of educators headed by Dr. Hester Ikzda, a nationally recognized curriculum consultant and educational guru. In addition, amny contributions were offered by Ashbrook Badoni, an area education consultant who will help write the gaming and sports work-study portion of the curriculum. “This project is vast but will be very beneficial to our youth,” stated Ashbrook Badoni. Industrial Arts coordinator Milagro Amann expressed relief that ground breaking on the gaming and sports project will begin, stating: “We’ve worked hard for almost five years now planning, organizing, and developing what we think will be the nation’s best gaming and sports learning center. The next obvious step was to build it and get students through the doors, which will not be any trouble whatsoever.” Milagro Amann has been a favorite IA teacher at many schools, and will be taking charge at the gaming and sports school and academy from the opening day. Citizen Brigida Naeher was happy that the gaming and sports project had begun as well. “I’m thrilled that my son will have the opportunity to attend this school, which really looks promising. When I graduated from the Albani Maczko Private School, I was really clueless about the real world. This gaming and sports school looks much different: it is the real world, and promises to teach our kids how to be productive citizens no matter what career path they may follow.” The new gaming and sports school will also be taking advantage of the internet as its primary source of text book information. Instead of buying costly standardized text books that go out of date within 2-3 years, each classroom will be fitted with simple lap-top computer stations that will allow students to login to whatever materials their teacher suggests for the current gaming and sports oriented lesson. “This initiative will save paper, save time, and make use of the information super-highway,” said teacher Scurlock Oster, who will be offering an engineering class, “and since we won’t have to update texts every couple of years, the information we use from the net will always be up to date and relevent to each field offered at our gaming and sports school.” Opening day ceremonies will feature state representative Lapolla Bystrom, and Senator Trula Felton, who will each offer remarks about the gaming and sports School and Academy. Ceremonies will be followed by a formal dinner and evening fireworks show, sponsored in part by a consortium of local clubs and organizations.
