williamblackshaw 43 Posted July 10, 2014 So I've been approached by quite a few local football teams seeking sponsorship over the past 2 weeks, how do you decide who to sponsor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Baggott 227 Posted July 13, 2014 Will any end in sales? Or do they simply want a new kit? If I was in your position I'd be thinking very carefully about the return on investment. It may only be a few hundred quid but without a photo opp at the dealership and a guarantee of local coverage in the paper I wouldn't be doing it. Sounds harsh but this is business after all...

umesh 336 Posted July 14, 2014 Totally agree with you James, Photo and PR .. I helped a good friend out with local team a few years ago, got promised various photo shoots but nothing ever materialised - told him how disappointing i had been - he had the cheek to ask the next year - !! Told him I might as well have put the few hundred quid down the drain ! he's answer was can't believe you don't want to help these young kids for a few hundred quid ! Got approached again by another local team this year - I explained what i would want as a minimum and they would have to sign to agree - guess what they never came back - last I heard they're still looking !

Gavin@Rousdon 137 Posted July 14, 2014 Problem with a lot of sponsorships is that they solely want your money and rarely do any of the people connected to the team become customers. The only time I would consider a sponsorship was if I was approached by a very good customer, that way its more of a goodwill payment then a payment in hope of some return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
