There are a lot of ways on how you can measure someone's popularity. This is especially true in sports. If the team consistently packs the stadium, then it's safe to say that the team is popular. If your team's game is shown a lot on National TV like the Los Angeles Lakers, then your team is popular. If you're a player and you can see a lot of fans wearing your jersey on the stands, then your popularity is off the charts.

If they feel that they need a little (or big!) boost in popularity, it's good to know that there are a lot of things that they can do. If they're looking for something that's proven to be very effective, they can utilize custom bobbleheads. A lot of people, teams and groups have been customizing bobble heads as a marketing tool. Let's say that you're a local actor who's looking to increase exposure because you want to tap a wider market. You can contact a good manufacturer and send them a couple of your best pictures and you'll have your own bobble head dolls in no time. You can then give them out and that can literally make you a household name as they'll be displayed prominently in homes in plain view of the residents and the guests.

It's already common knowledge that they're used as a marketing tool. After all, there's a good chance that you've received one from a group or an individual looking to increase their popularity. If you're into sports, then there's an even better chance that you've encountered teams using custom bobble heads to market their games.

Teams also hold bobble head nights for existing players. There are fans that are hardcore fans of the player and not the team. It's safe to say that Ken Griffey Jr. has a lot of these fans and of course, the Seattle Mariners would like to take advantage of that. If he didn't know that he's popular, then he probably knows it by now because the team has had countless of bobble head nights in his honor. In 2009, there were 5 of these nights. If your team would gladly give out 20,000 custom bobblehead for each of these nights, then you can safely say that you're popular.
