SWAC MOBILE MARKETING TOUR STOPS
The “Mobile Marketing Tour” program is an initiative designed to encourage participation,
attendance and knowledge as well as enhance sponsorship awareness in the SWAC community. Fans continue to be the driving force behind SWAC athletic programs and studentathletes. “We feel that our partnership with Urban Sports and the implementation of the mobile
marketing tour will generate the kind of buzz we need for continued growth. We are making a
big push to increase our social media”, said Duer Sharp, SWAC Commissioner. The Mobile
Marketing tour can be followed on Twitter (www.twitter.com/theswacmmt) and Facebook (www.
facebook.com/theswacmmt) and will be the go-to source for daily updates across the SWAC
community.
