Fans are everything in sports, but finding and keeping them is always a challenge. As fan behavior becomes more closely tied to the Internet and other technologies, it’s essential that sports organizations be able to collect and harness the fan information available to them.
From billing data, order data and contact information to demographics and
mouse clicks, numerous departments need access to information about fans and
customers. Still, that information can be hard to consolidate and even harder
to analyze for useful insights about customer desires and behaviors.
