Sport

As one of Australia's largest and most popular sporting leagues, the AFL oversees 18 clubs, each of which were independently managing their own e-commerce presence. This resulted in disparate strategies and the use of various different platforms across the league, recognising the potential for significant online revenue growth through a more unified and optimised approach, the AFL commissioned Vollardian to conduct a comprehensive assessment of each club's e-commerce website and provide recommendations for improvement.
