FINDINGS
Social Media Strategy

season and once a day out of season” – Michigan
• “Twitter is numerous times an hour. Facebook is 5-10 a
day” – Syracuse
• Keep fans engaged
• “Over the weekend, a photo of the team with the trophy got
5,000+ likes on Facebook” – Syracuse
• “Photo sharing, breaking news and initiatives are most
attractive for our fans” – Kentucky
FINDINGS
Sponsorships
• Related to the Team, the Game or the School
• “The promotion, ” Date with a great”, appeals to thousands of
fans” – Texas Longhorns
• “Great auction to sell items from sports players” – Penn State
• Bad Sponsor Engagements
• “Just posting their information without any type of interaction to
it or incentives was causing fans to unlike our page” –
Cincinnati

Sometimes our sponsors are our direct clients (this is possible if they are also a relevant sponsor of the event or stadium so that they have personal connections with the rights holders), but most of the times our clients are the rights holders who then approach sponsors to pay for the solution. So in your case, Michigan University could be our client  and they would then approach Puma to sponsor (and pay for) the FANCAM. Any brand can sponsor, as long as we have the rights to get our photographer centre field a few minutes before the game (or concert) starts.

  9. In our research, we found several examples of visual advertisements on Athletics Facebook pages. Here are some examples. We say car dealers, sports gear brands, Ice cream shops, even local window producers.
  10. It simply doesn’t work.
  11. We still want to suggest that such “adds” should be on the page, but wrapped in a different way. Adds that will add value to the page should be limited to: Drafts for tickets, Increasing fan base incentives, Product placement into (discreetly)…
  12. Strategy for display adds on fb page is increasing fan base by encouraging interaction and engagement of the fans by posting non-adds. Incentivize fans by giving them opportunity to win tickets or attend special events or win coupons for local storesAll of these produce free marketing. Still we need to be conscious about being too aggressive with add placement not to produce negative effect among fans
  13. Actions: Actions that happen on Facebook, which current include Page Likes and App Installs.Reach: Number of times an impression was served to a user for the first time in a day.Clicks: Number of clicks received.Social Impressions: Impressions with social context, i.e. with the names of one or more of the user’s friends attached to the ad who have already liked the page or installed the app.https://business.twitter.com/en/advertise/start/
