To increase your chances of being included, send text by email (sorry no faxes) at least two weeks prior to your event. Feel free to submit your "yearly calendar" at the same time so people can refer to your events well in advance. Estimated length of listing: 20 to 40 words. We edit the length to make the listing its most useful. Send all events to [email protected]. All policies apply.

About Us
How it all started

Why should you be a sponsor?

We deliver customers with initiative!
You are reaching the primary buying power in Lubbock's market of 200,000 people.  Our members are people with initiative who want to be "in the know" and receive these special messages and offers.

You're not competing with the entire phone book!
We represent only a select number of businesses and professionals and you can target your message to the same good customers every month.

Our members request our information!
Your message is smack-dab in the middle of information people actually want and read ... which increases readership, effectiveness, and impact. Sure, you can send your own message but will it be read? Put your message in THEIR weekly message or on the site where THEY are going for this kind of information and while they are in the best mindset to find you and understand what you are offering!

You get the power of word of mouth advertising! Word of mouth advertising is a reliable form of advertising. Most of our customers come from friends who gave them the "heads up" on this great service. Customers come to you with the confidence when they have seen you in the Lubbock Fun Club.

Get warm leads, rather than cold calls!  Warm up any message you plan to deliver to the Lubbock area by reaching your best customers first through the membership relationship we have with them.

Listeners to Stars 104.3 hear your message!  We are proud to be the official fun club of Stars 104.3. With top ratings among women 25-54, households of $50,000 plus, and dominant in morning drive, Lew Dee and Diana bring positive energy and endorsement to us.

We do target marketing to new residents! Newcomers spend more in their first year and establish buying patterns that can last years long. These are excellent customers to reach and we are working to get newcomers to log on for the information they need.

You can benefit from our ecommerce solutions including:
-- your own page in our site (saves you money!)
-- your own page in our site (we do the maintenance saving you time!)
-- email to your customers
-- your gifts in our gift guide (show people what you have)
-- help with database, creation of a web site, and so much more.

We are here for you. How can we help you?
Please e-mail us let us help you engage the power of the Fun Club!

Media Kit

Competitive Edge
The Lubbock Fun Club is the premier online city guide. Dedicated to the communities of Lubbock and the surrounding region, we empower local businesses with easy-to-use promotions and solutions that promote events, venues and businesses. Not everyone advertises here. Isn't that refreshing to find a "competitve edge" that reaches your right audience?

The Medium
With the pervasiveness of broadband at home and at work, the internet is becoming more accessible and convenient to use. Broadband brings the online world straight to our fingertips and right into our living rooms with a connection that's always online, helping change how we work, play, and organize our lives.

• The internet medium allows the information to reach the customer when THEY want it, giving them a better concentration on your message and access to them from anywhere.
• Interactive - allows 2 way communication
• Builds community, facilitating the free-flow of ideas and information
• Enables online transactions, online registrations, and time saving solutions
• A growing medium -- more people use it to get information than any other medium. According to a recent AOL online study, 41% of broadband users say the internet is their number one source for current event and entertainment information -- over the television, newspaper and radio
• Lubbock Fun Club members use our website as a resource on how to best enjoy the city and spend money. Simply put, we helps folks find the best options for their disposable income.
• More than 8,000 members are a lucrative target for increasing your customer base.


The internet is now the premier business communications medium. Being on the internet is no longer the option it once was. It is a requirement to becoming a competitive player, and taking full advantage of new business opportunities in a more lucrative marketplace.

Businesses that have adopted internet technologies are quickly experiencing improved working practices, new product and service development, better customer relations, enhanced communications, reduced costs, faster turn around time, and more competitive edge.

SELECTED CLIENT QUOTES
Over the years, we have worked with our clients and partners to build a foundation of trust and mutual benefit.

 

 

 

"We made enough sales from our first month with the Lubbock Fun Club to pay for our advertising budget over the entire summer. We are convinced! We will not enter another summer season with out advertising with the Fun Club"
- Debbie, Manager, Texas Water Rampage

  "Thanks Sandy. I enjoy getting the weekly emails, you're doing a great job! I'll be in touch about some Christmas ideas....talk to you soon!
- Beth Bridges, Marketing Director, South Plains Mall
 

"We're very pleased with how Lubbock Fun Club helped us grow our business. We started out small but they've been with us every step of the way. I'll never forget how surprised we were when hundreds of families showed up for our first Family Fun Night. When people walk up with a printout of an email they were sent, you really can "see" the impact of their relationship with the Fun Club."
- Patti Simpson, Owner, The Maize in Shallowater

  "We’ve wanted a web site but didn’t have the time or the knowledge to do it. We knew if people could find us online, we would expand our golf marketing, locally and regionally.
Sandy gave us the idea to create a service for Lubbock golfers called “GOLF CENTRAL”. It is a good place for golfers to find events, tournaments, and golf related articles. We also discovered that we could build our page within her site that already gets upscale consumers in our market! In addition to GOLF CENTRAL, she helped us fine-tune our logo, write a marketing outline with a few more steps, and now we’re working on our own web site. It was easy ... step by step."
- Kandy Jay, Owner, Saturn Golf

Definitions:

Bridge Page: This is a page that a client can use to promote itself. It's "your" page to use as you need and can include anything from photos from events to special messages. We encourage people to use the advantages of a Bridge Page even if they have a web site. Ideal uses can include: special offer, show merchandise, explain about your business (more than you can in an ad), show your picture, explain your community involvement.

Calendar of Events listings: We have the most comprehensive calendar in Lubbock (minus all the bars and bands!) ... and our readers are families and adults who want to find quality events. Send any event you would like considered to [email protected]

Featured Events Calendar: These are events that we "cherry pick" as promoting Lubbock's quality and diversity well, or they are our Lubbock Fun Club events, sponsored by advertising, or an occasion in which we are involved in some way.

Weekly E-mail: You can send your message direct to 7,000 plus Lubbock Fun Club members who have an ongoing relationship with the Fun Club. This is good because you can be more sure that they will READ your message when it's tucked in their newsletter. The recipients are "members" of our Lubbock Fun Club and have asked to be kept informed of businesses, special offers, and the best of Lubbock. Deliver your message this way and it's 1/10th the cost of postage and no printing for you!

Business Listing: In each category, these are businesses we have selected to promote based on subjective standards as our favorites or ones we would like to refer. All listings are subject to editorial approval. You can be a Featured Business Listing with logo and editorial profile on a paid basis.

Live Radio Ad Lib Segment: Sandy is on the Lew Dee and Diana show every Thursday morning at about 8:30 on Stars 104.3 to highlight aspects of Lubbock living, sponsor messages, and events of interest. This is a unique opportunity to tell the Lubbock community about things.

Promotional Flyers: You will be listed in promotional flyers distributed at key events.

Web Design & Hosting:

Great Web Pages! Customers and clients expect to be able to access business information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you're not on the web, let us help you. We can provide a web page that represents your business well but doesn't require a web site of your own. E-mail to ask about special promotional pages and web pages that can work for you on a temporary or long term basis.

Great Web Site Design! Getting on the web is easier than ever and we have the staff and expertise to help you make it happen! We offer a variety of website designs or original ground-up site creation to fit your business and your budget. Whether you want to start with an elegant single web page or jump in with a detailed, multi-page site, our sales and design staff can get you up and running in no time.

Website Hosting! What's even better is Lubbock Fun Club can also host your site! E-mail for more information.
