KRC - Fan aqcuisition and retention

FAN ACQUISITION AND RETENTION

The Challenge

As is usual in professional sports a part of the operations of KRC Genk is dependent on contributions from members. KRC Genk wanted to improve their reach towards fans and potential members as well as optimise their connection with current subscribers.

Acquisition

A social campaign was launched on Facebook and Instagram to drive traffic to a contest landing page. Contestants were given the chance to win a gift voucher of 50€.


Visitors were encouraged to chat with the team captain to answer questions in a playful way. This allowed KRC Genk to get new contacts, and capture data on their interests and favourite team player.
Nurture and Excite
All newly acquired contacts were sent an automated and personalised email campaign:
  • Informing them about the new football season.
  • Thanking them personally for their support.
  • Nurturing them with information and advantages of a subscription.
Convert
Automated follow-up campaigns were scheduled to further excite and convert non-subscribers.
