The Benefits of Stadium Sponsorship
There are generally five principle objectives of sponsorship:
- to gain publicity
- to create entertainment opportunities
- to foster favorable relationships and build associations
- to assist the community and
- to create promotional opportunities.
Sports sponsorship is a medium that offers high visibility through extensive radio, television, press and online coverage of events – often at a fraction of the cost of team or player sponsorship. Through stadium sponsorship a brand can claim ownership of the experiences of the audience and the relationship values of businesses related to the stadium if this is in line with the positioning of your brand.
Stadium sponsorship will give your brand extreme visibility and any indirect benefits can include a higher level of favorability amongst the community – having the ability to break through cultural barriers – with the ultimate aim of increasing sales for your business.
