WEAR THE GEAR To This Year's
IKF
USA Nationals!
A major part of any successful organization is
Marketing. Marketing will make or break you. One great person once said "Some
business won't advertise their location, what they sell and, or services they
offer until their "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!" The IKF has a lot of great things in store in the near
future! We want all of you to help us continue our growth by wearing
IKF
Gear to the IKF
Nationals this year. Wear your caps and Tee shirts! Last year's
champions can wear their IKF/ Ringside "Champion" Windbreakers (red jackets).
As you come through the airports, stop at gas stations etc., your
IKF
Gear makes for great marketing for the event, for you as a
trainer, a fighter, official, as well as, makes for great conversation! Also,
being that the event is for three days, you can purchase
IKF
Gear at the IKF Nationals and wear it throughout the
weekend and on your return home. In addition to wearing the gear, remember to
say IKF Kickboxing as oppose to just
Kickboxing. Name association is vital to our growth for TV and other forms of
media. Our Growth is your growth as well. The more the general public begins to
relate with one name for a particular product, (in this case Kickboxing)
the better. Just look at any well known "Name Brand" products you buy
yourself. Many times, a customer like yourself will ask for them and not
necessarily want the brand they ask for, but the product itself. Such as instead
of soda, some may say, get us a Coke. This is good for the CocaCola Company
because most store clerks will direct the customer to the CocaCola Brand which
in many cases the customer will buy... increasing CocaCola sales. So from this
day forward, lets brand the sport of Kickboxing - SAY...IKF Kickboxing!
Finally, millions of
people around the world love and enjoy the sport of Kickboxing! Be proud of what
you do! Let the world know that you are proud to be a part of the IKF, the
Largest kickboxing
Sanctioning Body in the World for the sport of Kickboxing and the
IKF
Nationals, the Largest Amateur Kickboxing Tournament in the United States!
Let them know that the sport you love deserves to be in the spotlight and in
the mainstream of sports! Where will they read about "YOU?" www.IKFKickboxing.com of course. Let them know about
the web site. This way, they can read about you as well. Besides, you never know
who may take notice of you...a potential sponsor, TV producer or who knows. So, Wear the
Gear and wear it
with pride!
