17 PR …or are we actually talking about Marketing? Public Relations PR means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. One thing I have noticed is that if you ask ten random people what PR is, there will be 10 very different answers. Public Relations

18 Not a simply publicity!! Drivers In Hans Christensson report does he use the expression “Marketing” and that the priority targets should be: Federations Manufacturer/Sponsors Potential Future Drivers Furthermore in a ranking list of the most important issues is top 2 the following: 1 More professional promotion 2 Information, newsletter, WEB A reasonable question is naturally what does/can EFRA produce that is valid for the above mentioned targets

19 Professional management of events Public Relations Drivers Federations Manufacturer/Sponsors Potential Future Drivers Stable rules, preferably uniformed all over the World Experience Officials at EFRA Events EFRA produce European Champions... Help/Guidelines for management of EFRA events... Stable rules, preferably uniformed all over the World...but must also give attention to various needs...i.e. Checklists, press realises etc. Fast and good communication with EFRA Stable rules, preferably uniformed all over the World Good marketing/promotion of EFRA events Professional management of events Experience Officials at EFRA Events The level of the activities EFRA handle might not attract this group

20 Are we on the right direction? Is this the way you want us to go?
