Build your UGC to enhance sports

Making better use of each site:

Facebook- use for team news, stories surrounding players, team photos

YouTube- use to post old games, after game interview, fan reactions, game highlights

Twitter- use for score updates, athlete’s personal tweets, contests

Tumblr- use for more photos and game analysis by other fans

Istagram-Use to connect to player’s personal pictures outside of the game, fan photos, and game photographs

Pinterest-use to drive merchandise and general sports photos

With the explosion of new social media platforms, the amount of UGC is endless. Fans are constantly online sharing, liking, commenting, and clicking away. Use this valuable information to connect your team brand, your athletes and the fans.

+ 7The Power of User-Generated Content

Its impact thus far:

Social media is the most popular online method of interacting with other sports fans among those 18-24

When it comes to the athletes they follow, 60 percent of NBA fans said they are most interested in hearing that player’s thoughts about the recent or upcoming game/match

3.5 Billion- the amount of content shared each week on Facebook

17% of fans comment on games they are watching via online blogs or social media sites

“155 million- amount of Internet users that will consume some form of user-created content this year ( up 116 million since ’08)”

Sport and social media are obvious partners. Sport provides ‘live’ excitement and social media lets you share the moment with your friends
