Does anyone produce a program that they sell at the gate. We are thinking about one this year to sell advertising space has part of raising some money. So far we are thinking about including sponsors, team photos, rosters, school records, and player bios.
Any other ideas would be great, or if you could post an example of one that you produced that would be even better.
Thanks

We're going to do that this season. Just got back from a "Meet the coaches" meeting where this was explained. The company (local) takes the images, emphasizes the seniors, does the layout (30/32 pages on average). Parents find the sponsors - min. of 27 at $200 each. More sponsors mean more pages which means more photos. That brings in at least $5,400 to the company. They then send 200-250 (or whatever number is negotiated, wasn't clear) completed programs, professionally imaged and designed programs to the school. We can then do what we want with them. Normally these are sold for like $5 and can be reordered.
Included photos of all the players, varsity and JV, and the cheerleaders. Seniors were emphasized - biggest photos, most images, the cover, etc. The guy does professional photos and does Senior action photos. For players that are 3.5+ gpa they get a free 8x10 action photo. Improve the gpa by .5 and get a free 8x10. They get the digital file as well so the parents can print as many as they want. He has a website where the parents can order prints from the images.
I don't know all the fine details of how this works, but the copies he showed tonight were very nice. They were from our rivals, but they were really nicely done.

we've done one for decades.....it is created by the school newspaper staff with the cover being photos of the game, players, homecoming court, all fall sports, or a student's artwork.
the marching band, I hate to say, was a major contributor to its success
