The University of Texas has a great website geared to keep UT students in the loop with promotions, ticket information, and fan guides to Longhorn sporting events. The site provides members of Longhorn nation, known as the SOBs (Student Orange Bloods), up-to-date with information on student-specific promotions and sweepstake offers, season ticket details, and giveaways.
By developing this web portal for students, UT can offer its sponsor partners exclusive access to students, drive student loyalty and affinity for athletics promotions, and host a one-stop shop for all student information. Property representatives can easily sell this or show this as an added value to its corporate partners!
