The Fan Value Playbook for Sports Clubs
A practical guide for club digital, commercial, and CRM teams to understand fan value, spot structural gaps, and build a clearer commercial model.
Why most clubs misunderstand fan value
Most clubs know that not all fans have the same value, but few have a clear way to define what value actually means. As a result, they treat very different fans too similarly, push the wrong offers at the wrong time, and miss the progression from casual interest to repeat commercial behavior.
Why this is worth your time
This framework comes from working on digital fan revenue systems in real club environments, where the gap between audience size and commercial value is often much bigger than teams expect.
