So, how can you be prepared to target this massive audience?
Quizzes present a great opportunity to reach a ton of users (avid and casual fans alike) and engage them all season-long.
Watch our short two-minute video here and then read through these three touchdown-worthy ways to use quizzes to capitalize on football:
