  • A Guide to Local and Social Media for British Baseball and British Softball
    A GUIDE TO LOCAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BRITISH BASEBALL AND BRITISH SOFTBALL The most cost-effective way to recruit and retain players and volunteers and promote the sports across the UK by Michael Jones Introduction Many baseball and softball clubs often say that recruiting and retaining players is the hardest part of their plans to grow and develop. On top of that, failure to secure sponsorship or external funding also plays a large role in limiting how far teams and clubs can go. However, using the media routes outlined in this document is one of the most cost-effective ways to attack those problems. Contrary to popular misunderstanding, creating an effective media strategy is not overly difficult nor does it require a large effort – usually around two hours each week, spread throughout the week. However, it does require a long-term approach, and to be effective you much accept that things won’t change overnight. Instead, you are creating something for the long run to help benefit the sports here in the UK, and specifically your club and teams. This document is an updated version of a previous Local Communications Strategy produced about 10 years ago by Josh Chetwynd, former GB player, Channel 5 MLB presenter and an esteemed author and historian of British baseball. It will begin with activities such as the development of the club website, the use of social media and the creation and dissemination of newsletters (electronic or published) to help create and maintain your community. From there we will go on to the traditional media in your local area – newspapers, regional television, radio, local newsletters and the like.
