Three Simple Ways to Capitalize This Bowl Season
Every November, college football fans around the country start looking ahead at where their team might end up in the post-season. With the expansion of the College Football Playoff and conference realignment, fans will have opportunities to watch their team play in stadiums that might have seemed impossible in previous years.
As a college athletics program, this provides an opportunity to create memorable experiences for those fans attending and even fans NOT attending the big game. For organizations looking to give a little extra to their fans this bowl season, we put together three quick and easy ways to make the most of the moment—and cater to all parts of your fan base.
1. Souvenir Tickets With i6
In the age of digital ticketing, more and more fans are clamoring for some sort of physical keepsake to commemorate the event. Why not design your own (or have i6 design) physical tickets that fans can purchase before, during or after the game?
Why stop at just tickets? With i6 fans can purchase other pieces of memorabilia like magnets or posters. The best part, it’s all made to order without any upfront cost. Zero risk and all reward.
Check out how Worlds Away, a first-year music festival, went all in with the help of i6 and offered attendees a variety of keepsakes.
2. Game Day Add-ons
When fans travel to a game, it essentially becomes a full vacation experience. But a lot of times, all fans want is to explore the city as part of the traveling party. Give them the chance to indulge their fandom with welcome parties, pregame events, and post-game celebration meet-ups!
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has produced a Fan Fest for attendees for many years. Click here to see how they took advantage when they hosted the semi-final matchup.
Don’t forget that with the Social Checkout™, you can ask questions for things like food orders, shirt size, and more to personalize the fan experience.
3. Watch With Us
Not all of your fans can travel to the game, which is all the reason you need to bring the game to them by hosting a watch party in an available facility or the premium area of your football stadium.
Keep your fans engaged and give them a chance to get the feeling of being at a game while using resources you already own!
During the Stanley Cup Finals a couple years ago, both the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers created watch parties at their stadiums—bringing fans together while selling additional concessions and team merch.
