101 Fantastic Quotes About Marketing. How teams can satisfy fans’ craving for greater involvement. SBJ/Aug. 4-10, 2014/Opinion I am fascinated by the recent move of U.S. professional teams to more of a membership model (similar to the EPL) in the hopes of forming deeper and broader relationships with their fans and extending the calendar of their sport to 12 months.
I applaud this movement for several reasons. First, it recognizes that fans are assets each with a potential lifetime value to the organization. Secondly, it is an acknowledgement of the power of the secondary market and a measured response to providing experiences and sharing assets with the fans — aka members — that secondary providers cannot offer. And thirdly, it is an acknowledgement of the threefold investment that a fan/member makes with an organization when they become members — investing time, money and emotion. Involving the fans in decision-making has a rich history. One of the fan involvement devices that I particularly enjoy involves letting fans develop ideas to demonstrate their creativity.

Assessing how sports organisations and their social media activations can meet the deepest needs of their fans, will increase the understanding and better equip them to increase the levels of involvement and ultimately, improve business results. The fan, an introduction How we become sports fans This (1997) dissertation by Dr. A look at game experiences and fan engagement. “Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park.
Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.” (George A. Sheehan) For professional sport teams to connect successfully with fans and to enhance the total experience of attending a game, the team must strive to control what goes on before, during, and after the game.
