Birmingham City Football Club have successfully boosted average attendance figures, fan engagement rates and team interactions with a rewards-based program that represents a first of its kind!

With a long-standing reputation for showing fans their appreciation, the ‘Blues Loyalty’ platform provides fans with access to unique experiential opportunities which continues to bring fans closer to the team than ever before…
