Welcome to NSW Sport and Recreation's website.

Other promotional ideas

Websites

  • A simple and effective way to communicate to your members, supporters and the local community.
  • Can cut down on printing costs and time.
  • Check your member base for people with website design skills and writing skills.
  • Find a local store to sponsor website development in return for some form of branding and logo commitment.
  • Basic sites should include:
    • a club’s range of activities on offer
    • results
    • a calendar of events
    • membership information
    • contact details.
  • Get your website linked to related sites. Ask your local council, schools and recreation centres to provide a link to your site. Offer your logo, the page you’d like the link on and a link to their website.
  • If you have the resources, consider adding discussion forums, board and member lists etc.
  • Remember to update your website. There’s nothing worse than a site that has last year’s scores only. Assign someone responsible for updating pages.

Newsletters

  • Distribute a regular newsletter to provide information to members about club events, activities and news.
  • Check your member base for people with desktop publishing and writing skills.
  • If your budget is limited, find out if you can create an online newsletter that can be emailed to members (check privacy conditions) and published on the website.

Signage

  • A banner with your club name, logo and colours could be used at registration days, presentation days, competitions and promotional events.
  • Find a sponsor to pay for the signage in return for some form of publicity if your budget is limited.

Club logo

  • Design a logo for your club to use on letterhead, promotional materials, displayed on the website and emails.

Flyers and brochures

  • Produce a simple brochure or flyer that outlines the club’s services or competitions, membership fees and contact information.
  • Distribute to the local community notice boards, library, recreation centres, primary schools or letter box drop in the local area.
  • Attach to your website or send via email.

Merchandise and uniforms

  • Well-designed uniforms enhance a club’s image while promote a club at events and activities.
  • Maintain realistic uniform standards.
  • Create merchandise such as caps, socks, shirts etc to raise funds and promote your club at the same time.
