The challenges

Having limited customer engagement is a serious challenge for many businesses in any industry. The constant pull on people’s attention from all angles on the internet makes it hard for businesses to stand out and truly foster deep customer interactions which can lead to missed opportunities for audience engagement and retention.

In this short article, we will dive deeper into some strategies to overcome this challenge and maximize the untapped potential of expanding customer engagement.

Expanding Customer Engagement

Consider the difference between engaging your audience solely on match day versus a more expansive approach that begins much earlier, sustains during the event, extends beyond it, and continues indefinitely. The latter strategy translates into more frequent website visits, increased session durations, higher user retention, and a more profound connection with your audience. To better grasp this, take a look at the hypothetical illustration on the right:

Engaging Fans Before the Match

The excitement kicks off well before the first whistle sounds. At this anticipatory stage, data can fuel the fans’ enthusiasm and anticipation. Picture media solutions consolidating team form, head-to-head stats, and injury updates – premium content for sharing on social platforms or newsletter circulation. These aren’t mere stats; they’re triggers for fan discussions and betting predictions, sparking dialogue and bolstering emotional ties to the forthcoming match.

On Matchday

Having sharpened the fans’ appetite in the days leading up to the match, they will be ready for an immersive experience as the game unfolds. Imagine their delight in accessing a live commentary widget with real-time updates or a heatmap displaying players’ field activity.

Keeping the Game Alive

The conclusion of a match doesn’t mean the end of user engagement. Instead, it’s a fresh opportunity to continue the dialogue, dissect and applaud the game. Widgets showcasing post-match analysis, player ratings, and social media reactions keep the buzz alive. It’s a permanently accessible platform that fans can return to whenever they want to revisit the match.
