BK Ventspils
In order to communicate and cooperate with fans online, BK Ventspils has created a mobile phone application. This app gives users access to news, notifications, unique photos and videos, upcoming game details, past game results, and the opportunity to take part in quiz contests to win awards. Team marketing opportunities in the mobile application will reach supporters more precisely and at the appropriate times. The mobile application for basketball club Ventspils offers the benefit of sending notifications when scheduled and to the intended user group. The number of mobile application users and their data are available in a single CRM system. In this way, news and offers from both our club and sponsors will be delivered to the fans.
How to describe BK Ventspils fans?
Fans of BK Ventspils or A sector. Every home or away game, both in person and online, we feel the support of the fans, who are very essential to us. Every time we played, they were there to support us with loud chants, drums, and even criticism.
One of the most important events during the Covid-19 pandemic has remained in our memories as the finale of the Latvian Cup. It was the 2020/2021 season. We had a challenging season because the club’s budget was limited and the team had to deal with the change. Although the season was difficult and challenging we were able to maintain our level and reach the final. We had to compete against the VEF Riga team in the championship series, up to four games won. We had already lost three games, therefore we had to lose by nine points in the fourth game, which we played at home on May 17, 2021, without any supporters because of restrictions.
After the game and the award ceremony, the club management informed the players that our fans had gathered at the Olympic Center “Ventspils” entrance. As they left the building, A sector greeted them with drums, yellow-blue smoke candles, banners, BK Ventspils merchandise, and slogans (figure 1). Each fan shook hands with the players, expressed their gratitude for the season, wished them luck, and showed their pride in such a result.
