Quote ="PHe"Another network going untapped is the current holders of season tickets. As I have previously commented, email details were put on previous season ticket membership forms and I used to receive information emails from the club. It would have been one of a range of appropriate methods of informing current season ticket holders of the offers for next seasons' tickets.'"
The use of the database of fans' information is something that needs to be improved.
For the last 2 years, I have bought 3 season tickets on one form, and so given one e-mail address. Until recently, I always received 3 copies of the same frequent e-mails. Now, that seems to have dried up completely. The information contained in your customer database is extremely valuable, if managed correctly.
There were, reportedly, issues during the change-over of regime where information was not passed on, but, after 2 full years, this should now be sorted.
I wonder if data is also kept on how the season tickets are actually used. Either what proportion of the tickets are actually used for each game, or even as far as knowing which fans went to which games, if you really wanted. Information is power, and can lead to better informed decisions on season ticket packages and marketing. I suspect that we're not currently making best use of the information and contacts available.
Perhaps the lack of recent contact means they are currently working on the issue?
