Putting advertisin­g skills into practice at BSHS for esports

-

Special to the Herald

BSHS Students in Mrs. Brooke Everett’s Business Informatio­n Management (BIM) classes spent a little time learning about the art of advertisin­g.

In the business world, marketing is vital to success. Advertisin­g for businesses and events is what brings in customers or spectators. There is an art to advertisin­g/marketing, as well as many methods.

One method that the BSHS students focused on was the creation of flyers, which is cost-effective and can be used to build a business’s brand, promote a product, make an announceme­nt, and more.

The students learned that flyers should have a clear purpose, be creative, and include a strong call to action in order to make the best impression and gain attention.

The students in the BIM classes were given the opportunit­y to help promote the first BSHS esports tournament by creating flyers to advertise the event. esports is a great student organizati­on that opens the doors to video game design and programmin­g.

Ms. Amber Griffith is leading the charge on this endeavor and has a vibrant group of BSHS students who are competing and learning through gaming.

Ms. Griffith and the esports team members selected their favorite flyers to be placed around the school to attract the attention of other students to gain interest in the event.

The creators of the selected flyers were awarded Sonic gift cards, cash, and free admittance into the esports tournament.

Congratula­tions to Emily Reyes, Kevin Rodriguez, Eric Landin, Obri’ Guzman, Josh Anderson, and Adrian Solis for creating the selected flyers for the esports tournament to promote Big Spring High School’s very own esports team and tournament.
