    #96 Marketing the game: Fans just want to be seen

    Many fans identify more with their favorite teams than their work or social groups, and some even liken this passion to their religious identity.

    However, a study by Nielsen’s Sports reveals that about 40% of fans believe male sports are driven by money, leading to a sense of disillusionment. To address this, we share a success story where a club thanked its fans, resulting in significant revenue generation, mainly through membership renewals. We offer tips for acknowledging and engaging fans effectively, emphasizing thank-you campaigns, tailored offers, consistent and transparent communication, and, most importantly, maintaining an emotional connection
