Olympics Marketing: How Small Businesses Can Go For The Gold

olympics_beijing.jpg

Wall Street Journal Blogs:

Most small businesses can’t even dream of sponsoring the Olympics. But that doesn’t mean the games can’t be part of their marketing efforts.

VerticalResponse, a direct marketing firm, offers some fun ideas on its blog for Olympics-themed promotions and ad campaigns a business might try. Here are some of its suggestions:

* Offer a 5% discount for every gold medal your country wins, capped at a certain number.

* Tie discounts to the win of your favorite athlete. If, say, Michael Phelps wins a gold, give customers $10 cash back on that day.

* Advertise Olympics specials: 25% off all athletic gear until Aug. 24 (the last day of the games).

* Selling special products or services, such as a special Olympic-themed mixed drink, especially for the Olympics.
