INDIANAPOLIS, IN – June 4, 2002 - SportsFans USA, a strategic marketing, technology, and management agency providing “Championship Solutions Since 1993,” announced today the launch of FanPhotos™, a new marketing solution for the Indiana Fever designed to create new revenues, increase fan excitement, and build a database.
One hour before the start of Fever games, Fever representatives will be taking digital photos of fans in the Entry Pavilion of Conseco Fieldhouse. Fans can choose to stand beside life-size cutouts of Nikki McCray, Tamika Catchings or Freddy Fever.
After the photo is taken, the fan will be given a Fan Photo identification number, used to view the photo on the Fever’s official website, www.WNBA.com/fever. While registering for the FREE photo promotion, fans will be able to download and print their photo, email the photo to friends and family, and sign up to win ATA airfare. Fans will also be given the option of registering to receive FREE breaking news, updates and promotional information from the Indiana Fever.
American Trans Air has agreed to be the official sponsor of the promotion. According to Fever Chief Operating Officer, Kelly Krauskopf, “ATA Fever Fan Photos is an innovative promotion that captures compelling defining moments of Fever fans. Fans can share that excitement of being at the game with friends and family all over the world through the Internet.”
According to Dale Ratermann, Vice President, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, “Sports Fans USA continues to provide Pacers Sports & Entertainment with new and innovative online marketing initiatives, such as the Fever Fan Photo system. We are excited to continue our relationship with Sports Fans USA and take our online marketing campaigns to the next level.”
“The web-based photo retrieval application can be customized to achieve a number of marketing objectives including testing the demographic make-up of fans attending games, registering fans for future direct marketing programs and building a permission-marketing database,” said Ken Jenkins, President of SportsFans USA. Other benefits include:
- Sell prints and photo merchandise.
- Drive traffic to sponsor locations.
- Drive traffic to physical locations.
- Sell sponsorships, group sales, event tickets, and more.
- Empower the fans to invite friends and family to visit the website using photo greetings.
