Skip-Hop
The Skip-Hop team are working hard to promote skip-hop, an
exciting blend of street dance and sport skipping, and prove that
skipping is 'not just for six-year-old girls and super-fit boxers'.
The website has free downloadable content, and lets users partake
in virtual skipping leagues. This online participation enables
schools and clubs to run low-cost competitions. Despite only having
a small budget, their use of SEO is pulling in an impressive number
of monthly visitors (about 3,000 uniques) and they are fully
capitalising on the power of video and downloadable content to
promote their cause. The team have also developed a unique skipping
rope designed specifically for skip-hop, and are working alongside
the Irish Heart Foundation to market skipping as a healthy activity
and fundraiser.
