Building Marketing Strategies for Sports Clubs and Teams
Practical training in sports club marketing, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Discounting solves a problem in sports club marketing today and creates a larger one next quarter. A message about the practice within marketing and commercial practice that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the marketing and commercial practice capability, in large organisations and small ones alike. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of sports club marketing and supervised application. Ambition around this aspect of marketing and commercial practice outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants finish able to explain the practice within marketing and commercial practice to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Organisations that document sports club marketing properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It concentrates on the parts of this aspect of marketing and commercial practice that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The final module sets out how progress on this area of marketing and commercial practice will be evidenced six months later.
