Fan Data is Gold

By


In all our conversations with team owners of sports teams, we get the question - "why is it important for me to know more about fans?"
To us it is akin to a CPG company asking - why do I need to know who buys my shampoo? 

Our answer to this question is simply this.

You need to know more about your fans in order to -
  1. Better engage with them during season and during the off-season. Focus here is on build a loyal fan base.
  2. Sell more to them (tickets, merchandize, content, etc). Focus here is on monetizing fans better.
  3. Sell sponsorships more effectively (sponsors want to speak to fans, not to you). Focus here on monetizing fan data differently.
There are lots of other reasons why you need to know more about your fans. But these 3 reasons should convince sports team owners and managers to look seriously at Fan Relationship Management.

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four. 
Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013.This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League DRS used in the league for the first time Bravo: It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for it. I came very early. I …
