Something similar that we got going on that’s league related. A couple ideas of what it could be about:
• Trades, Free Agency “Top 10”. When I envision this, I see shit from sports center etc.
• Statstical breakdowns, updates etc.
• Award winners or trophy chases during the regular season.
• Stuff aimed at recruitment. Neat graphics “Join today at the vhlforum.com”
• Advertisement for league events like theme week, playoffs, trade deadline, the Christmas charity, giveaways and more.
• I want to do a google sheet to see where all our members come from. Then toss that info into a tiktok to show our following and those who don’t that the VHL is made up of so many walks of earth.
• MORE! Be unique, be fun. What would CATCH your eye? Think what the NHL does or other platforms you know of that advertise!
Will these things have a HUGE impact? Maybe not, but 1% improve is better than 0% and once you have enough 1%, it will eventually hit 100% hopefully.
Recruitment and retention don’t fall just on our shows, despite it being one of our hires roles. Everyone can be and should be involved in some ways and there’s so many ways of doing it. Welcoming members when they join, mentoring and fostering them into a good locker room as a GM, being kind and engaging with them, recruiting on social platforms while following VHL recruitment guidelines like asking for permission first, helping us make videos and graphics. We all love this league. No one wants it to die out.. so be part of the solution. Don’t take much!
Look at how successful this last recruitment drive was. We added some very awesome people to our community that they can now say they’re part of. They’re the VHL family. I think a lot of this can be credited due to the retention and work of some members hopping on welcoming and aiding them right away. They joined and instantly felt part of something and they enjoy it now.
