Growing the WNBA's Brand
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing marketing the Women's
National Basketball Association's acceptance and growing its brand. Many of the WNBA
players differ from other women only in the fact that they play basketball for a living. The

Players generally are unable to stage dunks and other dramatic maneuvers and so
concentrate on solid skills that many of the men's teams have lost. In this respect, WNBA
teams can build appreciation among male fans as well. Teams and the national organization
need to use both approaches in their marketing efforts. Includes a SWOT analysis.
