Stop settling for the bare minimum and data that you can’t back up. Get a 360-degree view of sponsorship exposure and value. With Blinkfire’s Sponsorship Report, not only can you track sponsorship value driven by your organization’s owned and operated accounts, but you can also track value driven by team members, earned media, and other entities.

Sponsorship Value From Owned & Operated Accounts

When it comes to sponsorship value, your organization’s social media accounts play a crucial role because you have total control. Blinkfire’s Sponsorship Report allows you to accurately assess the impact of your owned and operated channels, providing insights into engagement metrics, impressions, and the overall value generated through these platforms. 

Far too often organizations do not have clear and transparent ways to defend value. With Blinkfire, our reports help your team effectively showcase value to partners. By leveraging this data, you can optimize your content strategy and maximize the ROI of your sponsorship investments. 

Team Member Exposure

Your team members are more than just athletes – they are powerful brand ambassadors who can significantly contribute to the overall sponsorship value. With Blinkfire, you can track the value driven by individual players on your team. By understanding the influence and reach of each team member, you can tailor your sponsorship strategies to effectively leverage their impact and enhance brand visibility.

Not every team can have a Lionel Messi caliber superstar, but players are valuable assets to your business that can add value to your sponsorship deals. Jersey patch assets are a prime example as players like to post game highlights and locker room content featuring themselves in the team jersey. This is yet another layer of sponsorship detail that Blinkfire offers in our Asset Report.

Earned Media Value

In today’s digital landscape, earned media plays a vital role in shaping brand perception and driving sponsorship value. Blinkfire’s Sponsorship Report enables you to quantify the value generated through media outlets, including press coverage, interviews, and editorial features. By monitoring and analyzing earned media mentions, you can gauge the additional reach and impact of your sponsorship activations, identify key media partners, and optimize your media relations strategy for maximum exposure and brand recognition.

Exposure Driven By Other Entities

Sponsorship value extends beyond your organization and team members to encompass other entities within sports, influencer, and media ecosystems. Organizations use our Sponsorship Report to track the value driven by league accounts, other teams, other players, influencers, and more. 

We see league accounts drive very significant amounts of value for teams when posting about highlights, recaps, or celebrating achievements. It’s essential for sponsorship teams to have that exposure accounted for and easily broken down by entity. By gaining insights into this broader landscape of sponsorship exposure you can also capitalize on collaborative opportunities to further amplify your brand’s presence and impact.

Don’t settle for fragmented data and limited insights when it comes to assessing sponsorship value. With Blinkfire’s Sponsorship Report, you can adopt a holistic approach that encompasses owned and operated accounts, team members, earned media, and other entities, providing a comprehensive view of your sponsorship ecosystem. By leveraging actionable insights and analytics, you can optimize your sponsorship strategies, enhance brand visibility, and drive tangible ROI across all facets of your sports marketing initiatives.

When it comes to making informed decisions about inventory pricing, having access to powerful analytics data is crucial. Competitively pricing your inventory makes a big difference when it comes to maximizing sponsorship revenue.

That’s where Blinkfire’s inventory management tool (BIM) steps in, providing you with comprehensive insights and AI-driven pricing recommendations to help further develop partnerships and sales strategies.

Pricing Insights Report

We continue to see that data-driven decisions maximize revenue for our customers. Our Pricing Insights report calculates the average sales price of your target assets across all proposals they’ve been included in.

With this data, you can compare the average sales price to the listed price and determine whether adjustments are needed. Plus, our sell-through rate metric gives you valuable insight into how well your assets are performing in the market.

List Price: This card compares the average sales price of the target asset to its listed price by showing the actual average sales price. It also shows the percentage difference between the listed price and the average sales price, which have three statuses: “Poor” “Good” and “Excellent”.

Sell-through rate: This shows a percentage value for how many of the available units were actually sold compared to how many units of that asset exist in the inventory.

Price x Sell-through: This is a combination metric to show how the asset is selling through and at what price. This gives insight into the sales velocity and strength of each target asset.

Based on analytics measured for all goals connected to your target assets, our Performance Insights section provides you with a deep dive into media exposure KPIs such as media value, engagements, and impressions. This data allows you to assess the effectiveness of your assets and make informed decisions about their pricing.

Media value: This card shows the media valuation driven by the target asset adjusted for any ROI values set on the asset in the Inventory List.

Engagement: This KPI shows the percentage of engagements driven by the target asset above or below the target value in all attached Goals.

Impressions: This KPI shows the percentage of impressions driven by the target asset above or below the target value in all attached Goals.

Pricing Recommendations

Our tool goes a step further by generating pricing recommendations for partnership assets based on the insights gathered. By combining data from the Pricing Insights and Performance Insights sections, we provide you with actionable recommendations to optimize your inventory pricing strategy.

With direct access to the Pricing Insights report from your customized inventory lists, along with consolidated information such as recommended list prices and sell-through rates, you’ll have everything you need to make data-driven decisions about your inventory pricing strategy. Don’t miss out on maximizing the value of your inventory assets!
