The post Euro 2012: Which teams are using Social Media? appeared first on Digital-Football.com - Football Social Media & Digital Sports news.
]]>Whilst international football doesn’t quite have the wealth and commercialisation that club football has, it doesn’t excuse a lack of presence. We previously reported that football clubs had an accumulated 28.7 million Twitter followers, yet Euro 2012 struggles to get past even half a million with a paltry 482k. Whilst international football might not have the same appeal as it once might, it does have a national population to attract. Social Media activation with the right content and strategy can go a long way to build a stronger sense of patriotism during the competition. Simple videos of former glories, national icons, the best tournament goals are all quick ways to enthuse would-be fans and get them interested. The benefits of this? Hopefully in the short term increased sales in merchandise and in the long term – ticket sales.
