The Secret Sauce To Brand Awareness And Fan Engagement

Image
How do you make fans fall in love with your brand? Good question. Here’s how… If you want to build meaningful relationships between your brand and its customers, then give them more of what they love. That’s it. That’s the secret sauce. Early last year when the AFL and Milo decided they wanted to strengthen their brands and cultivate meaningful relationships with hundreds of thousands of fans around Australia, they came to Giant Inflatables looking for a solution. Specifically, they wanted to DELIVER A POSITIVE AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE for both kids and their parents alike. Our solution?

The importance of fan engagement and how to make an impression that will last more than 90 minutes.  Let’s be honest: sport is like any other business. You have supporters (customers) who are buying into your product, and your brand, but who, at the same time, need to feel valued and feel like they’re getting bang for their buck.  This means that a live sports match as a standalone event is no longer enough to ensure growth or sustainability in terms of a fan base.

Everyone is searching for the ‘new best thing’ to ensure they stand out. Stad...
