Summary
Our experience and expertise in college sports PR
helps us offer services designed to help SIDs and their staff. Sports Systems has a hand in all aspects
of college athletics including sports information offices, recruiting
coordinators, conference offices, bowl games and tournament hosts. We use technology to help you do
your job faster, easier and more cost-effectively.
Distribute Your Media and Booster
Communications
We currently
distribute press releases for 270 Division I sports information
departments.
Ø
Our email service
and fax service
allow clients to load and distribute press releases 24 hours a day. Releases can be sent to lists you
provide or lists we build for you. One critical feature our service offers
is the ability to send four different email formats to suit journalists’
individual preferences--a key to increasing the number that will open and
read your releases.
Ø
 A
second important feature results from our partnership with STAT CREW, which
allows you
to load any post-game report to us for faster and cleaner distribution
without having to print and manually fax it to us.
Track Mentions of Your Team or Star Player
Our Web Clipping Service
scans
the entire web and professionally reports only the most current matches for
a specific phrase, sponsor team or name. For a flat fee of only $200 per month, we search 90 live
news wires (including the AP and Reuters), more than 20,000 websites and 63,000 Usenet groups. We can also add specific sites upon
clients’ request to ensure we find all relevant articles.
Run a Coach's Media Teleconference
Our Conference Call Service
lets you run a media teleconference call for less money. You can use this
service anytime from our internal/client website with no overhead charge or
commitment. The charge is only
19 cents per line, and just for the time used. We offer all standard features, with the additional
option of using the web to show caller coordinated pictures or
presentations.
Efficiently Manage Event Credentials for a Game
or Tournament
Our
amazing PressPass
Media Credential Management Service can help you manage
media credentials for the upcoming game, tournament, season, or any
event. The service:
Ø
Allows
media to fill-out an online form to request an event credential
Ø
Gives
you the ability to review and approve or decline those requests
Ø
Automates
all confirmation letters, and even supplementary forms for hotels, phones,
etc, so you don't have to do this manually
Ø
Reports
everything for your records and for event staff
This service dramatically cuts the paperwork
and time managing credentials, and makes the process easier for
everyone.
Bring Live Scores into Your Arena or Stadium
Our SportsTicker Scoreboard Service
provides you with live scores via fax or via the web. We partner with ESPN SportsTicker
to provide you with the same feed that you see scrolling on the bottom of ESPN,
CNNSI, and Headline News.
When a school wants a report, they can simply call an automated
phone line and request it, and in less than a minute, the neatly formatted,
up-to-the minute report is in their hands -- or they can access the same
live, customized report via our website at any time.
