The marketing mix is also utilised by professional sports teams to engage fans at a deeper level. Products go well beyond the game itself, jerseys, subscriptions and digital experiences that bring the brand into the lives of fans every day of the year. Prices are positioned between mainstream and VIP, making accessible and exclusive ticket options situated side-by-side. Place used to be about stadiums but now it is mobile apps, streaming services and international broadcast rights, and fans from anywhere can participate. It’s an emotional push they are leveraging athlete endorsements, community projects and social media to generate a sense of loyalty beyond one year type deals. By synchronizing these four component parts, sports brands are not merely selling tickets, but building lifelong communities of fans who live and die for their team.
