Fans can also use social media sharing tools to share their favoritephotos on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

And while fans are sharing their photos on Facebook (left) and Twitter, they’re also sharing valuable links back to your branded web gallery.

That means more visitors, higher GooglePage Rank, and better search results foryour team, event, or sponsor website.

Social media sharing is brand touchpoint #5

At left is a partial snapshot of FanChatter’scontrol panel statistics display.

CASE STUDY: During their 81-game 2008home schedule, the Minnesota Twins andsponsor Qwest collected:

15,041 total photos from

9,031 unique fans resulting in

13,336 Qwest branded reply messages(one reply sent per unique fan per game)

That’s a per-game average of 185 photosreceived from 165 unique fans with asingle-game high of 636 photos from 525unique fans.

And there were 2,912 unique visitors tothe Qwest branded gallery microsite(meaning roughly 1/3 of the number ofparticipating fans visited the site).

There’s almost always more thanone fan involved per picture, sofan totals should be adjusted upby a factor of 2 or 3 and these areall highly engaged in-venueimpressions.

Visits increase when galleries areincorporated into- or linked from ateam, event, or sponsor site.

Accurate participation metrics are generated in real-time.

The Minnesota Twins and sponsor Qwest have seen their photos-per-game average jump from 185 in 2008 to 277 so far in 2009.

That’s a 50% increase from the Twins’ first season of ScoreboardPhoto Sharing to their second.

Participation increases over time…

Feedback

“FanChatter enabled us to provide McDonald’s with a unique sponsorship platform to reach our fans in a fun,

interactive and memorable way. Now that it’s possible, why wouldn’t you let your fans see their own pictures on

the scoreboard?”

Sterling Cryder

Account Executive

Sooner Sports Properties

“My friend and I took a quick picture and sent it in while we were waiting for the game to start back up. Everyone in

the student section was doing it. I like FanChatter better because you never know when you will be surprised by the

jumbotron camera. At least this way I know what I am sending in instead of being caught on candid fan camera.”

Melinda Hawkins

Senior

University of Oklahoma

“FanChatter has provided us with an extremely unique feature that gives our fans the chance to enhance their

experience not only at the ballpark, but when they return home. The TwinsPic segment has been wildly popular and

generates thousands of photos from our fans' cell phones and PDA's, but what really brings this element full circle is

the ability to post every photo on to a website so they can be part of an internet scrapbook that commemorates

each Twins home game."
