TSS Rovers FC

The TSS Rovers Football Club story is one of activating its existing fanbase. As a result the majority of its fundraise and share sale has been from net new FrontFundr users who were making its first investment in a raise. Most impotantly is the intent of these fans. Most do not intend to make a financial return necessarily. They want to support and fund the vision.

The key to the success of Rovers Football Club was activating its existing supporter base through multiple engagement initiatives. These initiatives consisted of:

2. Exceptional word of mouth advertising through the coaching network, supporters’ trust, and players;

3. Onsite guerrilla marketing at its stadium through the use of banners, announcements during games, and

4. additional print materials;

A consistent social campaign with amplification through the supporters’ trust.During their campaign the team also became the inaugural champions of the League 1 BC Men’s Division adding additional promotion, validation of their mission, and extra excitement to convert existing pledges.

A community driven mission, consistent multi-channel messaging, and a major validation event allowed TSS Rovers to break barriers and accomplish a first in Canadian history.
