Starting point

For a long time, gift cards played a minor role in the club. Fans wanted to offer gifts, but often couldn’t find what they were looking for. Merchandise, food and drink, hospitality, digital products: each revenue stream operated independently. There was no common strategy, no KPI management, no visibility.

The bottleneck

Not a lack of demand, but a lack of visibility. A gift card would have made purchases easier and generated immediate liquidity.

The clue

Most clubs are well below 1% gift card revenue. Not because of a lack of fans, but because of a lack of strategy and implementation.
