Motivation
I agree with the Terms & Conditions
Sportunity.nu
De maatschappij is veranderd en trends als individualisering en consumentisme hebben een enorme invloed op de sporters van deze tijd. De sporten moeten zich hierop aanpassen, waarbij sommigen zelfs hun aanbod zullen moeten veranderen. Consumentisme betekent dat ook verenigingen zich steeds meer dienstverlenend moeten gaan opstellen. Men wordt niet meer lid van een vereniging als voorwaarde om te kunnen sporten, maar de community bepaalt. We moeten beleving toevoegen, voordelen toevoegen en mensen met elkaar verbinden. En dan wordt men lid vanuit een meerwaarde in plaats vanuit een voorwaarde. Dit houdt dus in dat er een verandering plaatsvindt in de klant of lid-benadering, iets waar veel verenigingen (en bonden) door hun bestaande cultuur en structuren nog een flinke slag hebben te slaan. Daarentegen hebben veel nieuwe sporten en organisaties dit al te goed begrepen en denken in communities, fanbeleving en sportexperience en zullen hierdoor een steeds sterkere positie in de sportmarkt innemen. Door samenwerkingen, het ontwikkelen van een passende businesscase en de daadwerkelijke realisatie en implementatie zorgt Sportunity dat ook uw organisatie de kans nog kan grijpen to create your community from fan to star.
