Hi All,

We have done almost 5 days of advertising for registrations for the Leagues in District 13. I think we are doing pretty good.

So far we have seen almost 200 page likes on a generic youth sports group from a post we did there… on Facebook and our Facebook page (all combined). We have had 131 website visits to the District 13 website.

Of the direct inquires I have received (To which I have been giving out the president’s phone number and links to the registration websites I have). Keep in mind, these are people that are INTERACTING with us. This does not include everyone who sees the advertising and goes to your registrations website without interacting with us.

Deer Park – 4

Pend Orielle - 1

North Spokane – 9

South Hill – 2

West Plains – 0

Bi-County – 0

Liberty Lake -0

This is what I expected for West Plains, Liberty Lake, and South Hill since we didn’t market to them (yet).

We have had two inquiries about Challenger Division which I sent over to South Hill – (I am telling the people to go there)… I have forwarded those to South Hill as they were the closest league to them that had Challenger division. We really need more Challenger opportunities… I think there are a lot of people out there that would take advantage if we had those programs in every league. I had to send them to South Hill because the leagues in between them and South Hill didn’t offer Challenger.

We have gotten all but two of these inquiries from Facebook/Instagram . A couple have emailed directly from other advertising.

The district so far has spent about $800 since November promoting the Umpire Clinic coming up in March, The Leagues in general, and of that $800 about $200 has been spent directly on Registrations since Jan 1.

I am pleased with the amount of Likes we are getting, and requests to follow the District Facebook page(s). Website traffic is looking good. The numbers show a growing awareness of Little League in the area and 99% of the comments being left are extraordinarily favorable. We have had only one negative comment posted and that’s from someone who has involvement in the youth sports program in Omak. They didn’t want Little League because “we are doing fine by ourselves”…

Other than that, I am anticipating an uptick across the board in Registrations this year. Next week we will focus on West Plains, South Hill, and Liberty Lake… One thing to note, it’s far better to have a real URL for your registration website (like http://www.westplainslittleleague.com) instead of the default Blue Sombrero/Sports Connect one that looks like this: http://leagues.bluesombreror.com/default.aspx?tabid 199267/registration etc…… those are hard for people to wrap their heads around. You can set up those URLs pretty easily, let me or Stacy know if you need help with that.

Sincerely,

District Administrator (DA)

Washington Little League – District 13
