The new content for August on Gameops.com is now LIVE.  This week we enter our 25th year as the authoritative voice in game operations and a leading distributor of premiums and promotions for hundreds of teams and events. We feature tools to maximize the entertainment value of your events.  

On the Party in the Back Podcast we talk with industry leaders about the fun side of sports marketing. This month we party with Atlanta Braves Organist Matthew Kaminski. The world-renowned tweeting organist has helped the Braves create a game within the game with clever walk-up music and in-game bumper selections that keep fans trying to connect the musical dots.  Matthew shares insight on the Braves in-game production, his recent road show for the Augusta GreenJackets and the best Polka wedding songs.  

Rob Wicall starts a new content series this month called Impact Moments.  This first installment examines how you can improve you game presentation by involving more staff into your show.  You can read Rob's column and listen to a discussion on the column on the podcast.

Featured content this month also includes:
  • Recap: Marketing Your Delivery Program - Colleen Flynn and a gaggle of industry insiders discuss marketing strategies and best practices around Mascot Delivery Programs.
  • Chuck-A-Puck - The great fan interactive promotion that can sell group seats, generate revenue and build great sponsor inventory….and fans love the spectacle.
  • Giant Trikes - Trike Race is a game ops staple. Our adult trikes allow you to use larger riders and give a great scale to this contest.
July was highlighted by a Huddle Call on Gameops.com Plus featuring Zack Frongillo from the Savannah Bananas. Jonny Greco led a fantastic discussion on creativity, social media, creating big moments and how a classically trained dancer is helping a baseball team dominate on TikTok.  A recap of the call will be posted later this month.

Don't forget to check out the newly redesigned Store on Gameops.com with turn-key sponsor-friendly games, PirzeChutes, confetti supplies and more. 

Thank you for your support.

Content Features: The Water Cooler on Gameops.com
“It isn't enough for a promotion to be entertaining or even amusing; it must create conversation. When the fan goes home and talks about what he has seen, he is getting an additional kick out of being able to say he was there. Do not deny him the simple pleasure, especially since he is giving you the invaluable word-of-mouth advertising to add to the newspaper reports.” - Bill Veeck (Hustler's Handbook)

Water Cooler Moments are those that create conversation. Mascot skit, theme night, giveaway or wacky contest. We seek them out and serve them up on Gameops.com DAILY Monday through Friday.
