Is your organization looking to implement new green initiatives?
As part of the NBA’s Green Week, the Dallas Mavericks hosted their 2nd annual E-Cycle
Drive, presented by Samsung on Friday, April 9th at American Airlines Center. The team
encouraged fans to bring their used TVs, laptops, CPU’s, monitors, light bulbs, batteries, and
other electronics to the American Airlines Center, where they were collected,
compressed, and recycled properly by Universal Recycling Technologies.

To entice fan participation, the Mavericks distributed coupons for a free bowls at Genghis Grill
and offered all participants the chance to register to win a pair of free tickets to the First
Round of the 2010 Playoffs. The Mavericks promoted the initiative via in-game PA’s, Twitter,
Facebook, email campaigns to season ticket holders, and radio/television commercial
inventory. The team’s investment in the E-Cycling initiative has surely paid off - in 2009 alone,
the Mavericks collected 80,000 lbs of hard-to-recycle materials and managed to top that
number in 2010 with 90,000 lbs of donated goods. The Mavericks are also supporting NBA
Green Week with a ‘Trees for Wins’ campaign and a Rebuilding Together housing project.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES
Check out how Swedish hockey organizations are capitalizing on new advances in signage technology!
Sports marketers and North American hockey personnel should take a close look at some emerging signage technologies
coming out of Western Europe. Steen Leth Jorgensen of LogoPaint recently shared two (2) examples of innovative signage
featured at the Cloetta Center, an 8,500 seat arena in Linkoping, Sweden.

LogoPaint recently unveiled 3D boards, a piece of inventory that helps brand messaging pop on television that is currently
being featured and tested in the Swedish Hockey League. The 3D dasherboard signage piece, as demonstrated by the picture
of the XL-BYGG signage below, is designed to grab consumer attention while watching the sport of hockey.

The second inventory piece, rinkside rotational messaging, also comes from the Swedish Hockey League. Here, teams have
cut out a select row of seats in the corners and placed wide LED screens that serve as impactful messaging pieces in-game.
Check out both signage pieces here: http://lhc.hockeyligan.se/main.aspx?level=hl_0910 (Under Kvartsfinal 5)
