I was handing out flyers to the Dublin One Hundred at that :eek:
Great idea though and one I will definitely pursue....I also hand them out at all the race meetings I attend but I hadn't thought of that one, cheers.
there;s a handful of gigs in marley park at the end of august too.- if you're doing main stream advertising cinema ads are great cos unlike tv and radio people HAVE to watch them and are usually in groups, whereas with tv or radio people are alone and can change channel. Cinema adverts will get some word of mouth going hopefully.
- any college campus (ideally with a poker club) should be contacted in some form. i think for the first one (or the first NSPC) DIT did a 5 euro rebuy qualifier. could be merit to getting colleges to agree to do one or two of them, pick a date, then arrive and do some uber-pimping.
- hit places like the jackpot/SE/fitz/macau and hand out a load of cheap "BoylePoker IPO 2008, October etc etc etc REGISTER NOW ONLINE" branded tshirts. I'm sure if someone got a free tshirt they will at least KNOW about the event, and at least consider signing up. Though you have to be aware of cost/benefit. For example, if you produce enough quantity, tshirts can be made very cheaply, but if you produce 1k tshirts, this will probably cost 1k which would dent profits in a big way.
- Also, as for the added money, might it be an idea to put some of that to the side events too? get friday players coming back on saturday, and fri/sat players who have been knocked out coming back on sunday?
- The main target for this is your recreational pub player, not so much your big money boards pros (:p). Tournaments run by the likes of Celtic Poker Tour, JP Poker, VegasNights, etc would be ideal places to hit with promo material.
- As for the material itself, people can glance at a poster and bin it and never know what they looked at. find out how much it would cost to mass produce some Boyle Poker IPO 08 card protectors. One side have the main IPO graphic, the boylepoker.com/ipo address, "register online now" etc, and then the other have the dates, event calender etc, ... yea it will be small print but who doesnt like a free card protector eh!?
also, probably cheaper than a tshirt and people will interact with them. i remember the PPP christmas cracker in the SE everyone got a PPP card protector and people used them for months after. It doesnt even need that much info on it, just BOYLEPOKER.COM/IPO and REGISTER NOW or something.

Hi Jeff,
These are all class ideas, which is what we expect from you afterall....I think Boyles will want to steer clear of copying anything Paddy Power did as regards card caps etc....We will definitely look at something along those lines though (only better and different
).
The cinema ad is really class. I know you mentioned it to me before but I am going to look into it right now.
Talk to you when you get back,

Hi all,
A bit of very good news.....Jeff Taylor, aka DITPoker is coming on board the pokerireland.ie pirate ship.....
Jeff is going to be taking the helm for BoylePoker.com IPO 2008 promotion (both online and in card rooms around the country) and with running all four One Hundred tournaments around the country for the next few months.
Jeff and I will be working to make sure that players get the best possible service before, during and after the BoylePoker IPO....It will also make organising staff and all the other logistical side of things for the event a whole lot easier for me
Most players already know Jeff so you will also know how happy I am to have him on board. With so much experience for running quality live events, with a such a strong work ethic and with such enthusiasm for the game of poker I can't think of anyone better to have on board.
*congrats to me* :pac:0 -

Subject bar from an email I received today;
Portuguese Invasion of Ireland Part II
This kind of stuff makes me v.happy
About 80 Dutch players registered so far (most are transferring their buy-in this week and have flights and hotel already booked).
Expecting about 30-40 French players.
70-80 from the UK (I mean England, Wales, Scotland here).
I'm starting to work on the Scandinavian invasion now.
So I'll repeat this message to all Irish players now again, please register early to avoid disappointment. Please book your hotel (if you need it) early to get the cheapest rates and to avoid disappointment.
Please get behind this tournament in a big way from here on in, its really going to be a big big party that just happens to have a well structured tournament with a €200k odd prize-pool for a €135+€15 buy-in.
Contact me if you need any more information;
stephen(at)pokerireland.ie
Many thanks,
Stephen.0 -
