Regatta Planning Thread
Notes From Meg (Jun-19)
Biggest hindsight from Wind&Waves is that we needed to draw in more dollars from the tourists during the event. I have changed the target audience on the Sunset Sails, Bottomless Pints, Band Party, & Low Country Boil Items to be the general visitors and general local public. This is reflected in much of the copy on the website and will be reflected in all the other outbound marketing efforts. This is also reflected in the financial plan. The biggest earning items are: Beer Pints, Sunset Sails, & Low Country Boil.
- Sponsorship plan: Please scan the first column for your name. If you are listed, we are counting on you to ask your contacts and line up donation of the items listed in the “What is needed” column. If you have questions, or run into a challenge – please comment on this post.
- Bundle Pricing: Please look at what is in the bundle. The sailing is discounted for members and for early registration. The other items are not. That is because we need the revenue to raise money for the club.
- Volunteer List: Work In Progress @brentliner Please help outlining the volunteer needs/positions in this tab.
- Gift Bags: I think we should do a better job of gathering swag from local businesses to put in the gift bags. Looking for a volunteer to take ownership of this role, making the bags, getting the goodies, and the registration table Fri evening and Sat morning. @jayphillips @ntsnead Please suggest who may be a good volunteer to own this gift bag position. Possibly Joey Lettieri?
This sentence could have been clearer: As long as we know that the product assortment contained within the bundle registration is accurate, Jay, Coach Mak, and I will be able to talk with the other coaches, etc there and push registration.
It will be favorable to registrations if Jay and I are available to speak with other parents and coaches about the regatta while we are there…particularly if we can send out a registration link during that conversation.
I have the regatta all ready to go but in order for us to advertise that registrations are open, we need to have the menu and activities which are included in the bundle confirmed – variety and price. So we need to confirm only with those sponsors affected by those items to make sure that we know that we are not selling something that is not available.
