With the 2024 MLB Draft in the books, let's take a look at how I would approach the process of evaluating and acquiring amateur talent for an organization. It isn't always enough to draft the best talent; you have to draft them with the understanding of how they fit in the organization, the cadence in which they arrive on the 40-man roster, and the logistics of your operations.

Why don't more teams have points-based loyalty programs? The #1 objection I hear from sports teams is "we don't want to issue points because we don't want the liability on our books." And there's a good reason many veteran sports execs feel this way. At one point or another they've all seen teams give away points to fans only to find program expenses increase with little or no income to offset costs. What most teams have never considered, however, is SELLING points rather than giving them away. Points can be assets too! Points can be sold to sponsors as part of an integrated package. And points can be issued to fans as a form of credit back for purchases they make from the team. In both cases the points issued by the team are paid for up front. Selling points doesn't eliminate liability from the team's books. But it flips a loyalty program from being a cost center to a revenue generator. And with revenue in hand, teams have control over program profit margins because the control the supply and the purchasing power of their own, team-branded points. The chart attached shows the two types of points we can create for teams, fan points and partner points. Profitable programs can be developed around either or both types of points. But for most major sports properties, the big revenue (and greater profit margin) will come on through selling partner points. There are many ways for fans to earn points, but only one place points can be redeemed, and that's through the team store. Minty Sports is a loyalty commerce agency. We provide strategy, financial technology and program management services to help sports properties and their corporate partners generate profit from loyalty.

Have you heard about the NFL’s new "dynamic kickoff" rule? 🏈 It’s one of the most significant changes to kickoffs in recent years, and it's designed to keep players safer while adding more excitement to the game. Here’s how it works: The NFL has introduced a "landing zone," which is the area between the goal line and the 20-yard line. Now, any kickoff that lands in this zone must be returned. No more letting the ball bounce into the end zone for an easy touchback. If the ball hits the landing zone, it's game on. Plus, any kicks that fall short of this zone or go out of bounds will be placed at the 40-yard line, giving the receiving team a big field advantage. This rule definitely creates more action, but, it’s also reducing the high-speed collisions that make kickoffs one of the most dangerous plays in football. In the past, players on the kicking team had a full sprint head start before the ball was even fielded, leading to some brutal hits. With this new rule, both the kicking and receiving teams are restricted in how soon they can move after the ball is kicked, which should help reduce injuries. In the preseason, this new rule has already led to more kick returns, more big plays, and better starting field position for receiving teams… But personally, I think this is a great step forward for the safety benefits. While the game will always be about big plays and excitement, the safety of our athletes has to come first. I’m optimistic that this change will help protect players from unnecessary injuries while still keeping the thrill of the game alive. What are your thoughts on the new rule? #NFL #Football #AthleteSafety #PlayersHealth

The NFL Schedule is being released this week. A few years ago, I worked with an Agile team to match the new NFL schedule to the ticketing system to provide clubs with secondary market insights as they looked to sell direct to customers. Why is this such a big moment to track secondary? 💴 Clubs that manage the secondary market tend to better generate primary revenue 🏈 Clubs can develop a direct promotion strategy to their fans, like allowing their most seasoned fans access first to their site for direct revenue 🆘 Clubs can spot unusual broker activity to identify any breaches of ticketing agreements One interesting takeaway - high ticket interest popped up during the NFL Draft. Some of it was related to Draft tickets, but the majority included searches for tickets. Should NFL clubs have the right to start selling tickets then? #tickets #sportsmarketing
