EP-200 The Good & Bad From Mizuno’s Rent A Glove Experience

Mizuno just created their Mizuno Experience Center at Atlanta Braves Sunburst stadium where, among other things, fans can rent a glove for a game and test it for 48 hours. If they like it, their credit card is charged, otherwise they return it free of charge. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about why they love this level of fan engagement, especially within the highly targeted audience Mizuno is looking to reach. At the Experience Center fans can also choose from 125 Mizuno bats to demo, play around at a golf swing lab and running lab, a volleyball wall, and cleat wall. Unfortunately, not everything Mizuno did was perfect. One area in which Mizuno failed at is not having a website built out for this and/or having a big social presence. This lack of complete digital execution misses huge opportunities where they could engage their audience, increase their awareness, and create positive brand interactions.In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.
