A strategy that involves creating and sharing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and engage a clearly-defined audience. For example, a sports team could run a blog with training tips, player interviews, and game analyses.
Sponsorship
A company pays to be associated with a team, athlete, or event for mutual benefit. A sports drink brand may sponsor a football team, having their logo on the team's kits.
Guerrilla Marketing
An unconventional marketing strategy involving unexpected and unconventional interactions to create a memorable experience. For example, a pop-up fan zone in a busy city center before a big game.
Sports Celebrity Endorsement
Using well-known sports figures to promote products or services. For example, a famous tennis player endorsing a new line of tennis rackets.
Database Marketing
Using customer data to tailor marketing strategies and communications more effectively. A sports franchise could use fan data to offer personalized ticket packages.
Public Relations
Managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public, aiming to present a favorable image. A sports team might announce a community outreach program to foster a positive community relationship.
Loyalty Marketing
Encouraging repeat business by rewarding loyal customers, such as implementing a points system for frequent ticket purchasers at sports events.
Product Placement
Integrating products into sports events or broadcasts, which subtly promotes the brand. An example could be a branded watch worn by a coach during televised matches.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
Promoting sports-related websites and content by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages primarily through paid advertising. A sports brand could use Google Ads to appear at the top of searches for sports equipment.
Influencer Marketing
Collaborating with individuals who have a significant following on social media or other platforms to promote a product, service, or event. A sports brand might partner with a famous athlete to promote their sports equipment.
Ambush Marketing
A tactic where a brand tries to associate itself with an event without paying for sponsorship rights. For example, a sports apparel company advertising heavily in the city where the Olympics are held, without being an official sponsor.
Cause Marketing
Aligning a brand with a charitable cause to generate goodwill and positive PR. A sports team could support a local charity and highlight the cause at games and in promotions.
Brand Partnership
Two or more brands collaborating for mutual benefit and greater market impact. An athletic wear company might partner with a sports organization to create co-branded merchandise.
Social Media Marketing
This strategy utilizes social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to build a community, engage with fans, and share promotional content. An example would be a basketball team using Instagram to share behind-the-scenes content and game highlights.
Email Marketing
Using email as a tool to communicate with fans and customers, providing them with updates, offers, and other relevant information. A football club might send weekly newsletters with game recaps and merchandise discounts.
Experiential Marketing
Focuses on creating experiences that connect fans to the sport or team on a personal level, such as virtual reality experiences that simulate being part of a major sports event.
Referral Marketing
Encouraging satisfied customers to refer friends and family, often with incentives. For instance, a soccer league could offer existing ticket holders a discount for every new fan they bring to the game.
Viral Marketing
Creating content or experiences that are so compelling or amusing that they are widely shared by consumers, often rapidly and organically. An epic moment in a game being turned into a meme could serve as viral marketing.
