Charlton Athletic Women's Football Club’s Post

🏆 Cup fever has well and truly taken over. Are you one of the lucky ones and wondering how you can fully maximise the opportunity off the field? Here are a few examples we’ve seen of clubs taking full advantage of cup runs to engage fans and drive revenue… 🏟 Investing in the fan experience Now’s the time when lots of new faces will be in attendance. Make sure to create a memorable experience so they are compelled to revisit. Pre-match entertainment, half-time competitions, and even old-fashioned clappers all go some way to boost the atmosphere. 🏨 Out-of-the-box partnerships What about the away fans? Annan partnered with local hotels back in 2021 when hosting hundreds of Rangers fans. They then sorted buses to transport them to the game. Another way to bring revenue to the club whilst streamlining operations and supporting local businesses. 🎟 Virtual ticket sales Marine AFC faced Tottenham Hotspur in 2021 in what should have been a life-changing event, but the absence of fans due to the COVID pandemic resulted in zero ticket sales revenue; however, the club successfully raised over £300,000 by selling virtual tickets, giving inspiration for ongoing financial support mechanisms and potential reward incentives for supporters like this one. Have we missed anything? Let us know the strategies you’ve seen below 👇🏼

Quality opportunity for any local businesses

Fascinating listening to an insiders view from our Bok Champions last night! While Strategy and Execution is a key ingredient to success. Purpose, Chemistry and Respect for team, is game changing and not easily replicable! Lots of parallels with Private Market Investing… Old Mutual Alternative Investments African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM)

Commitment to player development allows clubs to ride waves uncertainty. But the club has to be aligned from the 1st team to the academy. Wim Jonk, @fcvolendam Technical Director on the impact of the academy: "As a club you have to look for the right people to safeguard the heritage. And the youth academy must - just like here at FC Volendam - be one of the pillars at all times. And if you anchor that well in your policy, there can never be any discussion to arise." "The youth academy provides nutrition to the first team with targeted purchases. Of course you always need some players from outside to strengthen certain positions or to provide other influences, such as extra character.” [Voetbal Primeur] = 📍Each week, I send one email with principles that sharp directors use to gain an edge. It's always short [5 minutes or less] and comes every Saturday morning. Join 800+ readers here:

🍺 Pretty interesting reading that FC Twente made more money from selling beers than players last year, although when you see images like this it's probably not that surprising to some... One of the hot topics over the last couple of years has been why Football clubs aren't allowed to sell beer in Scotland and with stats like this coming out of clubs in Europe it's even more frustrating that smaller clubs are being punished because of the behaviour of a select few. I would love to see at least something trialled soon, even starting with lower league games and if worried about it introduce a categorisation of matches with the Police to manage higher-risk matches like they do in Germany! #Fanexperience | #Sportsbiz | #Sportsmarketing | #Fanengagement

Shout out to Lauryn Groce and Hannah Siefert and team that put on a great event! 🙌🏾 This was actually my first networking event related to sports - and I got a chance to meet some great people. 3 Things I learned from the speakers: 1. “Micro Mentoring” anyone can be an expert in your circle in topics you may not excel in, at the minimum a friend 2. Successful leaders are intuitive but even more just want to learn as much as they can from areas that intrigue them - to then be a resource for multiple people in a organization. My favorite line was a “Swiss army knife” 3. Goals can look a lot of different ways and everyone may not understand your vision - so understand the business goals and relate those down to your long term vision no matter what your title is
