The Regime Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 The New Jersey Nets are struggling. They have the league's worst record at 6-53. Because of that, they're last in attendance. To combat this they've tried a few bizarre promotions over the years. First, they gave away tickets to unemployed workers, and also gave them career advice. Then, if you bought a 10-game ticket plan you got a jersey that featured not just a Net, but also an opposing player. This Friday, the Nets will unleash another in their long line of minor league-esque promos: Their latest promotion will be unveiled Friday, when the Nets play the Orlando Magic. New Jersey residents 18 or older who attend the game will get a coupon that they can redeem at a Roni Deutch Tax Center to get their state income tax done free. No one likes doing their taxes, but is it worth having to go to a Nets game? At just a $29 value, I'm not so sure. But you have to admire the gumption of Roni Deutch, the eponymous tax attorney offering the promotion. She says, "The hallmark of a strong company is one that aligns with young companies. I'm a betting woman, and I think the Nets are going to win a championship this decade." Probably not, but she's not the first to make such a proclamation. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/The-Nets-will-do-anything-for-you-to-come-to-the?urn=nba,225353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) How much do they charge for courtside?I believe I saw $500 for courtside against Toronto. As for the source of all the genius marketing ideas this season...Brett Yormark thinks a new broom sweeps clean and is already working on next season’s marketing strategy: “We’ll have a new home, new coach, new owners, new players and a new attitude.” He also hopes NEW Jersey Transit will find ways to make it easier for fans from NEW York to get to games in NEWark. Yormark expects to stay on next year. He got a nice NEW contract extension from Bruce Ratner.NetsDaily Edited March 4, 2010 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
