IPL fan base

Building a fan base will be the future for a successful business business model of teams in the Indian Premier League. The present is a reminisce of that.

IPL 2 saw Deccan Chargers, charge up the their energies to lift the trophy.The IPL 2, I'd say was all in all a very successful season. This season saw the ups of super overs and downs of the fake IPL blog.
But where does IPL go ahead ?
It is a craze. Every evening, it'll make sure you don't feel bored. If you go to a restaurant, it will follow you there. An interesting thing I noted was that quite a few of my cousins were fans of Kolkatta Knight Riders, because of Shahrukh Khan. A statistic reported that Kolkatta Knight Riders has the highest brand value.

If you can see the connection, Shahrukh has a fan base, which propelled Kolkatta Knight Riders brand value to top of the list. Taking a cue from this, IPL teams will have to spend money to build their fan base to keep their brand rolling. A fan base will mean greater revenues in future. In the first season of Indian Premier League, only two teams made profit - The Rajasthan Royals and the Kolkatta Knight Riders. A loyal fan base can be the difference between pressurizing your team to win and make profits or building a fan base and allowing them to play naturally.

When it comes to a fan base, what tags a team is associated with is the question.
Do you identify with these tags ? If yes, then you are a fan.

Eg :Kolkatta Knight Riders associated itself with Shahrukh Khan,Sourav Ganguly, Royal Challengers with Dr Vijay Mallya, Kings XI with Preity, Delh Dare Devils with Akshay, Sehwag,Gambhir.

Mediocrity to Greatness

I always felt the difference while I sat in an interesting class that prompted me to do the assignments to a boring class, which was like taking sleeping pills and fighting the enemy on border. Anyways Peter principle elaborated it. Just going through the first chapter of "Why Things Go Wrong" gave me a sense of why mostly people crib about their jobs, work place and then go for a higher degree ( like an MBA,M-Tech,Msc etc. or diploma) to get into a job that would probably satisfy them (finally). But does it satisfy them? That's another debatable topic. Coming to mediocrity, chapter one of "Why Things go wrong" made me bump into a quote by William Arthur Ward and I am splitting and spilling it below. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Inspiration to perform and outdo is what drives out the pending sleep and lethargy to make us perform. The same goes for work. But whatif a mediocre...
