Marketing your Club to your membership and local community is incredibly important.
Why?
We have enough members?
It puts pressure on our courts?
It costs too much
We are under resourced
A changing landscape for sports clubs
77% of Aucklanders participate in Sport once a week
There are literally thousands of clubs/community groups all competing for the increasingly illusive disposable dollar $$$$$.
Auckland Sports Club membership levels across all sports is in excess of 300,000 members.
There are numerous options available to people today that weren't there 10 years ago. The perception of a "Lack of Time" is recognised as a key contributor to the decision making process when it comes to playing a sport. 
Some Facts.
Membership numbers are considerably down on 10 years ago
Your membership is ageing?
The ratio of male to female players is increasing
Your revenue is down?
Your facility is ageing and your facility costs are up?
The reality is today’s membership won't be paying the bills in 5 years time.
