Investigation and Analyses of the main Marketing Activities of the Rugby Football League

The competition within the leisure entertainment market has grown noticeable over the last years. All kind of providers are competing against a flood of different leisure suppliers. The same situation is true for sports clubs, which have to contend for money and time of the customers against other sports clubs, theatres, cinemas and so forth. In the case of sports clubs the customers as spectators take special positions because they are simultaneously necessary to create the atmosphere at the grounds, which is part of the sport product. This situation, together with the fact that spectators are responsible for a huge revenue amount, makes the marketing of their product crucial for sports teams and clubs, because marketing means attracting customers.
