The goals

Despite its robust social media presence and substantial fan base, Savino del Bene Volley identified a need to establish new communication channels with its fans. The club also aimed to develop new formats and initiatives to offer to its sponsors.

The Strategy

The club embraced the model proposed by Abilitya, which focuses on engagement and first-party data technologies. This approach was seen as the ideal path for digitalizing the club and attracting new sponsorship revenues.

Project

As an initial step, with the launch of their new digital system in December 2023, the club integrated NFC chips into official match jerseys and fan jerseys provided by Errea, managed via the Phygital platform. This initiative aimed to offer exclusive club or sponsored content to fans, achieving nearly 1,000 interactions.

Simultaneously, Abilitya collaborates with the club to develop editorial strategies designed to enhance fan engagement and attract new sponsorships. Additionally, Abilitya assists in creating sponsorship packages for both existing and potential sponsors, also participating in workshops and meetings with the club’s sponsors.

Towards the end of the season, Savino Del Bene Volley rolled out various exclusive in-app promotions related to ticketing and merchandise to boost fan engagement and conversion. These efforts leveraged the club’s different physical touchpoints, such as the arena's digital screens, matchday journals, and strategically placed totems, all expertly coordinated through the Phygital platform.

The app and web app are becoming the club’s preferred platforms for engaging activities, featuring an increasing amount of exclusive content.
Through their collaborative efforts, Abilitya and Savino Del Bene Volley aim to strengthen the club's presence and enhance its revenue-generating capabilities in the competitive volleyball landscape.
