Description

With over 30 million football fans in England, The Football Association has plenty of potential fans to excite, engage and educate.

Currently their database is growing at about one million emails per year - in part by using Cheetah's platform to promote and publish competitions, offers, and registrations. Through the power of a value exchange - the heart of Relationship Marketing - the Football Association is offering fans access to once- in-a- lifetime experiences in exchange for zero-party data that will allow ongoing engagement and deeper personalization for fans. The result? Understanding fan interests and their favorite local teams leads to huge uplifts in email open rates, even just by personalizing subject lines based on the team someone supports.
