Tim Tebow has signed a minor-league contract with the New York Mets, and his arrival is already paying dividends for the club’s brand.
The Mets announced early Thursday morning that Tebow, the former NFL quarterback, will report to Port St. Lucie, Florida, to play in the fall Instructional League. As of Thursday afternoon, media exposure from TV, radio and online platforms has generated an estimated $1.88 million worth of public-relations value for Tebow and the Mets, Apex Marketing Group told FOXBusiness.com. That number doubles when factoring in all of the buzz on social media.
Tebow’s total ad value of $3.8 million produced in the first hours after the news was revealed—before nightly news coverage even kicked off—is worth far more than his signing bonus to join the Mets’ organization. Tebow received a $100,000 bonus in the deal, according to the Associated Press.
Lovin’ it!! ;-)
Tebow will take a knee, but not during the National Anthem.
I suspect he will be in the Majors in two seasons. He is nothing if he is not determined and getting into “The Show” requires a mix of talent, determination and being in the right place at the right time. Tebow has the first two elements. God is in control of the third.
Wonderful! I will be watching for his debut in the Majors.
You can't prove the Tebow signing inspired the Mets to victory...but you can't prove it didn't either.
