Sports marketers score big engagement points with their customers using ShortStack

Connect with fans during live events and after the game with contests, giveaways and social media promotions

Excite fans beyond a t-shirt toss

Between-inning races and touchdown t-shirt cannons might bring a few seconds of joy, but only a few people can really participate. Enter online contests where anyone with a phone can enter. Ask attendees to submit selfies, videos, TikTok posts and so much more. Then, highlight the submissions on the big screen during the game or reward entrants with discounts at the concession stand or team gear shop.

Check out our blog post, 7 Ways to Win at Sports Marketing by Rewarding Your Fans, for inspiration!

Connect with fans at home

Finding ways to interact with fans at home during and after the game can be difficult. For engagement, social media contests are the perfect play. Use hashtag contests to promote brand awareness and collect UGC, comment-to-enter contests to encourage chatter on your social media pages to get the word out about upcoming games. Prizes can be anything you can dream up, from seat upgrades to team swag, concession stand discounts to ultimate game day prize packs.

Create campaigns in record-setting time

Don’t have a lot of time on your hands? Don’t sweat it. We offer a ton of templates to help you make your campaign ideas a reality in a flash. From instant win contests to photo contests, sweepstakes to hashtag feeds, you’ll find a pre-made template to suit your needs. You can customize the template you choose with your team’s logo, photos of your players, the stadium, fans, the concession stand grub; and add any other content that reflects your team.

Build your email lists and get butts in seats

Contests are not only great for engaging your fans when they enter, but they also allow you to build email lists. These lists are full of qualified leads — your team’s biggest fans! Send them email updates with team news. Better yet, if sales for the next game are low, shoot your list a discount code for savings on tickets to the next game.

Drive traffic to your website

Your website is your team’s hub. Landing page contests are great, but you can also embed your ShortStack contests directly on your website. This allows you to drive all of your traffic to one spot and increases discoverability of other content on your website. Win-win.
