Melbourne Victory FC

Shared Services Solutions gained the contract to manage the membership and merchandise program for Melbourne Victory Hyundai A-League Football Club. The competition was introduced in 2005 to replace the National Soccer League. The Hyundai A-League is a football (soccer) competition of eight teams across Australia and New Zealand. Melbourne Victory decided to outsource membership and merchandise to SSS rather than setting up these departments internally.

Shared Services Solutions managed all elements of membership and merchandise from development of the sales and marketing strategy to a full delivery process that includes staffing and managing game day. Membership includes all fulfillment, database management including data entry and in and outbound calls.

Shared Services Solutions managed membership for the first two years where membership sales increased rapidly. Shared Services Solutions decided to withdraw from Membership as the operational side became very expensive to manage. Melbourne Victory then decided to take Membership operations back in house.

Shared Services Solutions is now managing the Melbourne Victory merchandise program for the fourth consecutive year.
