This is more of a business-geared infographic, but it very much applies to baseball. I confess there have been times when the primary reason I’ve decided to go to a ballgame was due to the freebie being offered to the first 10,000 fans (or whatever the limit is for that night). I have more than one Royals shirt that I received from going to a T-Shirt Tuesday game. I think it’s safe to say that we don’t need a study to tell us promotional items rarely fail to lure folks in.
