Performance Motorsports Marketing Promotes RainedOut to Speedways

Adds text messaging service as a new way to boost race track loyalty and attendance

LEESBURG, Va.

Omnilert®, LLC, maker of RainedOut, the first text message service for sports leagues and clubs, announced today that Performance Motorsports Marketing (PMM) has started to promote RainedOut to speedways and race tracks across America.

 

Race track operators and owners hire PMM to boost fan loyalty and attendance. One way to do this is to offer fans and racing teams a way to quickly learn about track closures and race cancellations. There is no faster and more convenient way to do this than with mass text messaging.

 

RainedOut empowers track operators to create and broadcast urgent news directly to fans’ cell phones as text messages. Each message contains a brief mention of a track sponsor, so a portion of the message sponsorship fees go back to the track and PMM.

 

“It’s a win-win-win scenario,” says Larry O'Donohue, President of PMM. “The track wins because they keep people informed which boosts track loyalty. The fans and racing teams win because they never have to waste time or gas going to an event that was cancelled. And, PMM wins because it offers us another way to help our clients achieve their goals.”
