The New Jersey Nets are struggling. They have the league's worst record at 6-53. Because of that, they're last in attendance.To combat this they've tried a few bizarre promotions over the years. First, they gave away tickets to unemployed workers, and also gave them career advice. Then, if you bought a 10-game ticket plan you got a jersey that featured not just a Net, but also an opposing player.
This Friday, the Nets will unleash another in their long line of minor league-esque promos:
Their latest promotion will be unveiled Friday, when the Nets play the Orlando Magic. New Jersey residents 18 or older who attend the game will get a coupon that they can redeem at a Roni Deutch Tax Center to get their state income tax done free.
No one likes doing their taxes, but is it worth having to go to a Nets game? At just a $29 value, I'm not so sure.
But you have to admire the gumption of Roni Deutch, the eponymous tax attorney offering the promotion. She says, "The hallmark of a strong company is one that aligns with young companies. I'm a betting woman, and I think the Nets are going to win a championship this decade."
Probably not, but she's not the first to make such a proclamation.
My thoughts are that the New Jersey Nets should cash in their hip-hop mogul pawn and offer a free Jay-Z performance and meet and greet with all the New Jersey Nets players. As well as giving free tickets to the neighboring youth athletic's programs in the community. By doing this the team will build an emotional connection with their city and the fans will stand by their side during these trying times. If there is no answer.... HELLO BROOKLYN
