It’s important to provide something interesting for your supporters to participate in. You can increase supporter engagement with some games which are relevant to your team and matches. Moreover, they will help you to acquire their contact information, which means you can increase your supporter database in the CDP. Data Talks CDP will be able to provide you with the Gamification opportunities that you implement your own games which your supporters can joyfully participate in, which leads to an increase in supporter engagement and the size of the supporter base. The game can be score prediction, line-up prediction, vote for POTM (Player of the Month), and more.
In the future, you will be able to build your own preference center in the Form builder of the CDP. The preference center will be the easiest way to collect your supporters’ info about their preferences for your sport organisation and marketing campaigns and the Form builder will provide the easiest way to create and customise your own preference center. The Form builder in the CDP will also provide you with additional possibilities available by Forms, such as the contact collection form on your website, which means that you will be able to merge the result of the contact form with the CDP right away without any additional process.
In the near future, the Email builder and SMS sendout feature in the CDP will be expanded to include the functionality to send real-time delivery transactional email and SMS. Transactional email and SMS usually mean the confirmation of a transaction, which can include the confirmation of ticket purchase, merchandise purchase, and stadium tour booking. Moreover, you also can expect sales to increase by including promotion alerts and relevant offer information in transactional sendouts, which usually have an almost 100% open rate. This feature will enable you to handle every sendouts and relevant data analysis in one place and also help you to optimise the purchase funnel and increase sales.
As a user of the CDP, you are able to see the data visualizations and analysis in your dashboards of the Analytics Framework. The dashboards enable your organisation’s internal users to see the overview and track KPIs in the easiest and most understandable way. But what if you would like to share your dashboards with external stakeholders? For example, to show your ticket sales status to the management, or a campaign’s results to your sponsors? You could give access to the CDP but it would mean allowing all these people to see all of your data in the CDP. Instead of this, you will be able to share specific dashboards by sharing the public URLs or sharing preset passwords for dashboards, this way you’ll be able to provide relevant information to the public without giving away control over your database.
Often, you might need to see your data visualized on a geographic map, especially in the case if you have a very diverse supporter base. You might want to see which city most of your supporters are based in and which branch in other countries is the most profitable on a geographic map, rather than a table or a column chart since it is more recognisable and understandable. The Geographic Map Chart will be introduced in the Analytics Framework of the CDP to meet these needs.
We are constantly working to improve the experience you provide to your supporters, which leads to increases in engagement and more revenue. A/B/X testing for email campaigns and SMS sendouts will allow you to test multiple variants in sendout campaigns in the CDP. You will be able to test different subjects, sending times, and contents for your sendouts, you’ll also be able to view the results of how the tested sendouts are performing in regard to your organization’s KPIs and use the results to optimise your next campaign.
Tracking the behavior of not-logged-in visitors on your website helps you to increase the quantity and quality of your website behavior analysis.

It will allow you to understand how your supporters behave on your website better and to provide a more personalised marketing campaign, which will lead to an increase in engagement and conversions.
You always need targets to measure your performance, especially in the case of sales. Setting targets for your matches and campaigns will help you not only monitor how your revenue is meeting your targets but also figure out how you can improve further. The CDP will allow you to set targets such as ticket sales per match/season, and merchandise sales during specific periods. You will also be able to see how your campaigns have been helpful to increase your revenue, or which campaign have not been helpful, giving you hints for improvement. To make targets not just simple reporting metrics, you will be able to set targets for key segments or even for ticket types or blocks of your stadium, this way helping improve your campaigns and results.

The data you use in the CDP are mostly composed of the information collected through channels such as ticketing systems, merchandise shops, and OTT platforms without supporters’ direct interaction. It offers a great understanding of the supporters’ behavior and the interest itself, however, imagine if you could see how each supporter actually thinks. This is the information we can collect using Data Talks’ new Preference Center, which enables supporters to submit their preferences directly to the club. Your supporters will be able to set their preferences for marketing and transactional messages, channel and frequency in the preference center. In addition, you can capture some fascinating information about who their favourite player is or which merchandise they are most eager to buy, providing you with an extraordinary view of your supporters’ behaviour that you can use to enhance your commercial results and create a relevant supporter experience.

Additionally, the new component-base editor will offer you a clearer interface, allow you to create your emails faster and make them more beautiful, and prevent your supporters from witnessing design errors in your marketing campaigns.
– This version of the email builder will solve the multi-identifier issue mentioned above, enabling you to choose whether you send the email to several email addresses which belong to one profile or just send it to one of them. If you choose to send it to just one email address, you can set the priority between different email addresses based on your needs: Personal email address or work email address? It’s up to you. The analytics regarding open rate and link click rate will be provided separately per each profile and per each email address.
We are striving to enhance the range of data you can collect with Data Talks’ web tracking analytics. It will enable you to keep track of which forms the visitors submitted but also how they react to your latest campaign and who types the zip code to calculate the shipping fee. It is important that you can get this supporter’s behavioral insight with their actual contact information and demographic data in the CDP. If a user abandoned the checkout process in your ticketing or merchandise platform, the CDP will enable you to check his/her contact information and create a specific segment to send a reminder email, stimulating their desire to buy your merchandise again and increasing sales opportunities. Likewise, Data Talks Sports CDP with Advanced Web Behavior Analytics will allow you to improve your full-funnel marketing strategy, from understanding web behavior to executing optimized marketing campaigns.

Achieving a unified customer view will ensure that you are working with the most accurate and up-to-date understanding of your customers as possible, a crucial part in order to be able to deliver the best customer experience possible.
