VirtualVeep Partners with FanSaves to Increase Fan Engagement and Activation for USL Teams

Ottawa, ON- Ottawa-based tech startup, FanSaves, a digital couponing platform that gives fans access to discounts and deals from team’s sponsors, has partnered with VirtualVeep to help their semi-professional clubs highlight local businesses and connect their fans to exclusive offers.

“The primary focus of our clubs is a fun, affordable fan experience and supporter engagement. Our fans name the team, select the logo, and pick the kit for free through their season seat plan, so needless to say we’re incredibly excited about our partnership with FanSaves” explained VirtualVeep Founding Partner and multiple-club owner Michael Hitchcock (“Hitch”).

He added “Our partnership with FanSaves will allow our clubs to elevate our fan engagement game while supporting local companies who support their hometown soccer club. FanSaves will help soccer fans save money at their favorite local businesses while enhancing their fan experience and enjoying greater connectivity with the club all year round.”

FanSaves has already partnered with multiple VirtualVeep clients, including Annapolis Blues FC, McKinney Chupacabras FC, Hill City FC, Texoma FC, Akron City FC, AFC Ann Arbor and Columbus United FC with more partnerships in the pipeline. Fans of these clubs will be able to access discounts and deals from local sponsors with Season Ticket holders getting access to even better offers. The platform is free to use and can be accessed at www.fansaves.com or on the mobile app.

“Partnering with VirtualVeep is an incredible opportunity and one that we hope can expand the digital landscape for their clubs. This is an extremely innovative organization and being a partner will open so many doors for all involved” explains Shannon Ferguson, FanSaves Co-Founder & CEO.
