Sponsorship
GETTING A LOCAL SPONSOR CAN BE A HUGE BONUS FOR THE CLUB
... BUT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHERE TO START
The team and volunteers will have contacts so make sure you use their local knowledge. Sponsorship does not always have to be in the form of cash - it could be donations for prizes to raise money or equipment for match days. If you are looking for sponsorship, you’ll need to consider what you have to offer them. Is it increased customer traffic, website exposure or publicity on kit?
