| Sports Marketing Ethics in Today’s Marketplace Authors: Gene Laczniak, Rick Burton, Patrick Murphy |
| Abstract: Sports marketing is a fast-growing business endeavor. However, certain aspects of it have drawn criticisms from several corners (e.g., media, government, coaches, and fans). This paper raises a number of ethical questions about various dimensions of sports marketing. Advice for addressing some of the ethical problems that occur is provided. The paper specifically asks if organizations using professional sports associations as a promotional lever for increasing sales can be hurt by a lack of ethics on the part of the leagues, teams, or players. It also implies that sport organizations, regardless of economic benefits derived or strong player unions, have an obligation to create a positive and substainable ethical climate and deliver an enforceable ethical code. |

| The Effect of Promotion Timing on Major League Baseball Attendance Authors: Thomas C. Boyd, Timothy C. Krehbiel |
| Abstract: Econometricians have given much attention at the question of what factors influence baseball attendance. However, most studies have examined primarily economic variables that, although enlighteneing, provide little information to team management and marketers that would actually help them increase attendance. In this study, the authors focus on an easily controlled decison variable-promotion timing-and examine the question of whether promotions are better run on weekends, during day games, or against rivals versus nonrivals. A series of multiple regression models is run on data for six major league teams over a 4-year period. Findings indicate that teams differ in timing effectiveness but that, in general, promotions run during day games and on weekdays are likely to result in greater attendance increases. |
