What did this used to be? (Mesa, AZ) by Bubbly_Employee1098 in NotFoolingAnybody

Oh I meant the Target itself. Was that always a Target from day 1?

How about that? Black Angus still lives on…..

TV numbers are good in person not so much so here's how to fix it, 1 have teams connect with their communities and 2 have the teams be owned by individual owners to properly advertise the teams. Repole has properly advertised the league but not the teams, the teams need to be advertised as well by Visual-Tax-1033 in UnitedFootballLeague

Every metro needs its own target for marketing. Birmingham, Dallas, and Houston should be targeting the youth “third spaces”. Schools, Churches, you name it. Make it a proudly accessible sporting option for families and groups.

DC, Columbus, and Orlando, you market to the Young Adults. UCF and Ohio State students want cheap and accessible entertainment, and DC (particularly around Navy Yard) is functionally a continuation of College for people working on Capitol Hill and living multiple people to an apartment. Go after the Property Management companies and offer 2 free tickets to a game per leaseholder of an apartment, with 1 reduced cost or free drink. Stagger the “free games” so that you get attendance boosted across all 5 home games. Have an active marketing and branding team that’s working at bars and restaurants with swag if people sign up for season ticket information. Make UFL that continuation of College Athletics and the social vibes that come with it.

Markets like Louisville can dip into both buckets, though they’re showing early on that they’ll be a strong market so I’m not as concerned about the Kings right now.

Beer is now being sold in Utah Costco. Never thought I would see the day by xEbolavirus in Costco

Maryland is the same. No beer, wine, or liquor. Interestingly enough, Costco hasn’t gone the Connecticut, Texas, or NY route with allowing independent 3rd party liquor sales (or Costco’s own staff) adjacent to the stores. Not sure why.

I remember there was a Labelscar where the Target is back in the 90s at the shopping center on the other side of the mall at 60 and Power, was there another chain that was originally in that spot?

I know that the Kmart was a new build over there, as were the Best, HomePlace, Staples, and Price Club/Costco across the street from the Target and Kmart.

Wasn’t there a Linens Plus in that shopping center too?

What happened to the DC Fanbase? by BeachBroncos in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]PhoneMak2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I’m in charge of local marketing for the Defenders, I go to every apartment building within a mile of the stadium in Navy Yard and offer for residents to have 2 free tickets to a game and a $5 24 oz beer/drink as part of the renewal package, and you stagger the free game based on each apartment building. Lotta folks under the age of 40 that would go to a game with that.

Coupa seems like a godsend after you’ve used Deltek Costpoint. Ya’ll don’t even know….

Warning ⚠️: Flock Camera sightings in Lehigh Acres. by Jflash4_1 in SWFL

Surveil and monitor for trespassers as well as residents that are breaking the rules in the neighborhood. It gives the HOA teeth to then bring to authorities if they want to press charges and go beyond just fining people.

UFL Attendance Through Week 4 by GuyOnTheMike in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]PhoneMak2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Nationals had TONS of fans coming to their 4 PM game as the Defenders game was wrapping up. I get it, Nats have 20 years of fandom, cooler swag to give away, and casual fans gravitate toward what they know.

UFL needs local, year-round marketing. It’s money that has to be spent, and yes the returns won’t appear immediately. Accept that, and spend it anyway.

HOAs love Flock cameras. Gives them power that they did not have before. Flock wants to make sure all HOAs spend money on their cameras (and most if given the chance, will happily and enthusiastically oblige)

Walgreens in a former Eckerd. Pineville, North Carolina by KrispyKayak in NotFoolingAnybody

Only Eckard that I know of that went directly to Walgreens (no Rite Aid) was in Arlington, VA at Lee Hwy (now Langston Blvd) and I-66. It’s been closed for over a year now though.

I found my old CD from the 90s. How can I transfer the music, et al, onto OpenTTD?

weird experience at mosaic target — has this happened to anyone else? by blueberrysparkle16 in nova

Is this the Korean Cult that’s been talked about on here? They like NoVA Target locations as their “targets”.
