And now some questions from our sponsor

by David Fucillo on Aug 20, 2010 10:01 AM PDT in Xfinity Sponsored Posts

As a valued partner of SB Nation and this site, Comcast/XFINITY is looking for your opinion. Comcast/XFINITY began sponsorship of this blog during the 2009 football season. The primary objective of the sponsorship was to open a dialogue with knowledgeable and passionate football fans in key Comcast/XFINITY markets.

The feedback so far has been extremely valuable. Much of the feedback has been positive, some - not so much - but it has been honest and we have incorporated many of your ideas into our upcoming NFL offering. With the NFL season only a few weeks away, we would like to ask you a few questions so that we can gauge how we are doing. The process should take only a minute or two.

Here was my suggestion to them:

Give away tickets to games, money and one-on-one sessions with cheerleaders.

[site decorum]

I just realized my blunder.

Screw one-on-one… I want at least 2 or 3 at a time!

similar for me

I just asked for exclusive content, discounts, more than just a logo and a blurb.

Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Tedd Ginn/Delanie Walker, Frank Gore, Brian Westbrook...which one is getting the ball and where?

If anybody ever has specific suggestions or ideas they want me to pass along, please let me know. Comcast has proven very open to receiving suggestions. Obviously not everything would be implemented, but the more specific we can get, the better.

I think the best thing Comcast can do to make the most of their advertising on SB is to offer exclusives and do giveaways. Like what if they did a referral program that gave away season tix to whoever refers the most customers? Stuff like that. Just seeing sponsored posts actually makes me get sick of them. In short: GIMME SOMETHING!

this

I get tired of the “sponsored by” blurb at the beginning of posts. I skip right over it and it doesn’t make me think “hey, awesome! I should run out and get me some comcast!”

What if we already have Comcast? Tis useless then.

Comcast

I would imagine they hope some folks might upgrade if they find out new information. Not entirely sure of that, but it’s certainly one reason because I’d imagine a lot of people reading NN already have Comcast in some form or fashion.

Mostly they need to make sure that they aren’t too prominent. Something advertising execs always forget about is that those 18-to-30-year-olds that they are so intent on getting all detest being pitched to.

Only thing I wanted was to minimize load times

so no fancy banner ads that slow down the site as the main page takes a while to load as it is.

Gimme 1 round!

How about this

I would like to see something done to put an end to this trend toward pay channels for sports games that are broadcast for free in other areas. NFL blackouts are also unfair practice as children don’t have a choice to just up and buy a ticket to a game. Someone needs to stand up for the fan and for the kids. I know that no one is hurting for profits, just look at the players’ salaries and the money the public puts into the stadiums. Sprts games are perfect for advertisers since it isn’t any fun to watch a game on DVR and fast forward through commercials. People want to see the game as it happens.

Suggestions

Make a you tube like sports post page for each team. Put a Comcast logo on it. let subscribers post their highlight videos and sports reports/editorials.
