Commercial retailers and the public are often against skateboard parks, and yet a skateboard park will mean fewer skateboarders breaking the law and causing trouble in malls. It also means less costs and security guards to chase them away. It will also alleviate the cost of the police, who are often called because of the skaters.
Skateboard parks make sense, but it’s hard to get public support, and therefore one of the best things for skateboard park planners to do is send direct mail marketing campaigns to local citizens and the public. to explain the new skateboard park proposal.
Plus, skaters themselves and their parents can volunteer their time to help the nerd get an initiative, lobby local politicians, or even show up at City Hall for the planning commission meeting. With public support, a new skateboard park in the city is possible and feasible and will eliminate many problems.
That’s why I recommend direct mail marketing advertising in those little coupon book packages that are sent to people in various zip codes. If the public within a 15 mile radius receives these little cards explaining the skateboard park, you will see their support for the project grow and your city may finally have a skateboard park.
