Marketing Live Texas Longhorns For Events In Texas

Posted by Anonymous on2/16/2009 at 10:39 AM ET 250 Points
我公司txlonghornforhire.com features Texas Longhorn photo steers for events. Corporate, church, schools, day care, grand openings, picnics, hotel, festivals, museums and fairs. I would like to know how best to reach out of state planners and media companies with work in Texas. I have been in business for almost 7 years with never being contacted for print, video, film or commercials. I have one Steer that would be great for "Chick fill a" or "Happy cow commercial" just for a start. We also offer a presentation of the History of these famous Longhorns and how they were a major part of the History of the United states. Very necessary due to most library's only carry one book on the Longhorns by Frank Dobie. I know about party pop and such but I never got good traffic and I was hoping for different avenues-Thanks Diana

    You might contacthttps://www.movielivestock.com/for ideas or opportunities (for movies, print, etc.)

    Besides contacting other corporate event planners, think conventions (both business and political) whose focus is aligned with an image of a Longhorn. Since people aren't looking for your steer, you need to educate them how easy/inexpensive/photogenic/memorable/safe they are and show lots of pictures of them from your photo gallery.

    Make sure your web site features a variety of ways the Longhorns are used, so prospects can get ideas and see how fun they are. Use testimonials, especially on what VALUE or benefit this brought to the event or program. You're pitching ideas, not just the product (selling the sizzle, not the steak),so come up with ideas for different types of industries and begin to pitch. Do a google search for event planners, associations, and other industries in your region. Do you have ideas to raise money with the Longhorns? That would be valuable to pitch as well. Can you exhibit at some event planning or association trade shows? Just some thoughts. Good luck to you!
