For AFL fans, the start of the footy season is a special moment. Five months of boring weekends and empty Friday nights are over – your team starts equal with all others, at least for a few hours.
The start of the footy season also means the start of the office tipping competition. Even if you don’t like footy, I’d strongly suggest you get involved. Not only is it a great way to ensure you remain in some friendly office banter, but it can also be a great business move too.
The secret to turning footy tipping into a strategic advantage is to widen the scope of your competition beyond the office so that it includes clients.
Make it free for everyone to play and offer a cool prize. Then make sure you email your clients every Friday with a reminder they need to put their tips in – maybe, just maybe, you could slip a bit of information about your latest products, contracts or staff members in that email as well.
It’s a great reason to keep in regular touch with clients and build a relationship.
