In-Season Ideas

In-Season Ticket Sales Plan

FanFinderTM

1. Identify and Qualify Anonymous Arena/Stadium Visitors (can go back to start of season)

  • Our FanFinderTM tool is able to identify fans that have been to a game but are not the primary ticket buyer. You can qualify the previously anonymous fans by geography and demographics (income, age, gender, etc.). We are also able to eliminate opportunities you already have in your database.
  • Touch Points = Direct Mail + Web Display Ads including Mobile + Email

2. Identify and Qualify Web Site Visitors

Business Executive Identifier

Our Business Executive Identifier tool identifies business owners, executives, and professionals within your consumer/residential accounts.

  • Submit your single game and partial plan buyers
  • We are able to provide work contact information (company name, title, industry, size, business address, business phone, email where available) for approximately 10-15% of your buyers

Group Win Back Campaign

Do not forget your past group leaders. Go back several seasons and reconnect using a personalized post card that has a “we miss you”/”welcome back” message. Give them reasons to come back and make them a special offer if possible.
