Why is this important and necessary?
Today’s sports parents are heavily invested in their kids’ activities both financially and emotionally. With over 60 million kids playing organized sports in the US, there are millions of parents seeking quality information, trusted guidance, empathy, and some light-hearted humor to help them be a positive force for their athletes.
“Like so many sports parents and volunteer coaches, my inbox is bombarded with sales and marketing emails disguised as helpful newsletters. We wanted to provide a genuinely free, helpful, positive, and fun newsletter that sports parents would value and engage with,” said Ian Goldberg, CEO of iSport360 and Editor of the newsletter.
“We know that the health and success of athletes in Youth Sports is heavily impacted by how parents view and interact with sports. We want to help parents sift through the noise to find quality content that can help them,” said Brandon Shangraw, SVP of Innovation and Marketing. “For us, this is more than a newsletter, it’s an opportunity to help families play more while ensuring the next generation of athletes have fun while competing.”
With an average engagement rate of 65%, the newsletter is not only well-received by readers but also by world-class companies that want to support the youth sports community. Sponsors such as Marriott, Avis, Junior Achievement and Ernst & Young are engaging readers in a contextually relevant way that is impossible on other social channels and youth sports platforms.
“We are connecting our sports parent readers with world-class, perfect-fit partners in travel, healthy foods and snacks, hydration, health and wellness, and athletic apparel, and because we value our readers, we are extremely choosy about what partner we will work with. Our goal is to provide value to our readers in all facets of our newsletter,” said Amy Masters, Head of Marketing for iSport360 and newsletter co-editor.
