Situation 2: No Guarantees of Adoption
Failure of Sports Loyalty System
MLB + Sports Loyalty System (2005)
•  $5MM Serie A Funding
•  League-wide loyalty platform, $20/month
•  Earn points inside and outside ball park (100+ merchants)
•  Redeem for game tickets, merchandise, fan experiences
BECAUSE
•  Lack of differentiation
•  No perceived unique value
©  SAP AG 2010. All rights reserved. / Page 6
POS System
•  Assuming all sales (concessions,
merchandise, tickets) on same POS system
•  Different data models across POS systems
Loyalty Database or CRM
•  Assuming clubs are logging this info
•  Customer-specific info can be varied
Promotion Management (PMR)
•  Personalized promotions
•  Another 3rd – party system or custom
