    The Western Bulldogs Give Fans a Vote of Confidence

    DateMonday, August 1, 2011 at 10:55PM

    The Western Bulldogs of the Australian Football League (AFL) recently turned to their online fanbase to decide which jersey (referred to as a guernsey) design their team will wear during the 2011-12 season. The Bulldogs created a fan-centric promotion on their team website that provided fans with an opportunity to vote for their favorite style jersey based on four options available.

    The promotion also served as a terrific way for the team to collect consumer data. Nearly 3,000 fans submitted online entry forms with their votes, providing the team with an instant database to reach out to to drive merchandise sales in the future. The team created the simple survey using Survey Monkey and posted the promotion over a 2-3 week time period.

    Check out the simple, yet effective merchandise promotion below and consider new ways that you can truly put fans in charge!

    A special thanks to Nick Truelson for his insights and contributions to this column!
