Product Position How the product is positioned in consumers’ minds Why do sport marketers care about product’s position on product-space map? Where do sport consumers see you, based on important attributes? Positioning for Media, Sponsors, Spectators: The US Open Series The Role of Research in Sport Marketing You need to: Appreciate marketing information system Understand research methods Recognize available internal and external data sources Marketing Research Basic data are essential to good decision making Key is ongoing and systematic research Challenge is taking data collected, analyzing it, and making sense of it A marketing information system (MIS) is integral Marketing Information System (MIS) Can range from index cards to a fully integrated database Complexity depends on: Size, geographic dispersion of market Availability of data Budget Organization leadership Information From MIS What question should sport marketers ask? Why? Who consumes our product? Who decides on the purchase? Who consumes our competitors’ products? What products compete with ours? What products complement ours? What are the key benefits sought by consumers? When do consumers buy? How do consumers consume our product?

You were just hired as assistant marketing director for the Toronto Argonauts. During the first meeting you impress your boss by saying that what you guys need is to enter the 21st century with a sleek customer database. Your boss asks: What information do you want in there? What will you do with it? Pricing Strategies The Basics of Pricing What needs to be priced? Tickets Memberships Signage Apparel Concessions Price according to location, image, and time (why time?). The Basics of Pricing Easily changed Effective with elastic demand Highly visible Important to consumers Core Issues Cost From Consumer’s Perspective Fan Cost Index (FCI) Fan Cost Index (FCI) Reported annually Includes all price elements for professional event 4 average-priced tickets 2 beers (small) 4 sodas (small) 4 hot dogs 2 game programs 2 game caps Parking Example: NHL “The Toronto Maple Leafs have the most expensive tickets at $76.15 (USD)* and the priciest FCI at $411.30. The Montreal Canadiens are second in both categories at $64.26 and $361.25, respectively. Fellow Original Six teams, the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers, are third and fourth in FCI rankings at $352.60 and $348.84.” Team Marketing Report 2009 Value and Price High price not necessarily detrimental Price often associated with perceived quality Product value includes more than winning: convenience, aesthetics, cleanliness, availability, durability Standard Approaches to Pricing Production costs Market conditions (supply and demand) Competitor’s price Product and event frequency What the Market Will Bear If hunches are wrong, results can be costly What could be the result of an incorrect decision? Can you give an example? Special Pricing Factors to Consider User Segmentation Pricing based on user group Corporate season-ticket holder Single-ticket purchasers Special groups Student packages Unbundling Would any particular group be more sensitive to price change? Why? Special Pricing Factors to Consider Time and Place Smoothing Time—bundled packages Prime vs. non-prime time Price scales in venue Key factors—proximity, line of sight, and demand Note the Escalator! Price hikes threaten to push consumers off escalator Emphasize other features of the product
