Your Preseason Playbook: Activities That Drive Growth
With Social Strudel’s automation tools and dynamic social layers, you can activate your community through a lineup of seasonal content and initiatives that get your products in play and your fans on their feet.
- Preseason Checklist – Share a curated list of must-have gear for baseball, soccer, football, or any sport in your catalog. Easily automate posts across all platforms to reach your athletes where they scroll most.
- Gear Fit Guide – Use reels or TikTok clips to showcase proper gear fit and sizing. Activate your creator network or invite customers to share their own “try-on” videos directly through Social Strudel’s campaign hub.
- Practice Drill Clip – Short-form video is king, and drills are a slam dunk. Post UGC or brand-made drill content and automatically track its trending potential across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Stories, and more.
- Review Roundup – Launch a pre-season gear review contest. Participants can submit reviews, photos, or highlight clips. Social Strudel makes it easy to display and reshare across all linked platforms while collecting powerful testimonials.
- Friend Invite Challenge – Use growth loops! Encourage existing customers or youth teams to invite a friend to check out your page or store. Reward them with exclusive giveaways managed natively in the platform.
