Social Media for Athletes
Posted on 27. Aug, 2009 by Sean OBrien in Sports Marketing
This is a crazy phenomenon. It makes these athletes and super stars human and reachable. Social Media makes it easy to be a fan. If you are already on Facebook it is easy to keep up with a team or a player’s news if they are updating their own account.
Most of these Athletes have personal websites that are pushed through their Twitter accounts. Its genius; they have thousands if not millions of fans who are driven to their personal site. Most of these sites offer player merchandise, newsletters, and even opportunities to sign up for their personal basketball camps (for a nice profit of course).
Plus it is a lot of fun.
