Local sports clubs get most of their sponsorship from businesses who think of it as a donation.  Here are 5 reasons why businesses should sponsor a local sports club as a mutually beneficial partnership beyond a “donation”:

1. To increase awareness of your company. Your brand will be in front of parents, coaches, organisers, players and supporters and everyone they play. This is a positive way to engage your target market – everyone involved with a club likes to support their sponsors.
2. Your sponsorship makes sport affordable for families. Sponsors help keep fees low so more families are able to afford to join and that means more children being able to receive the undoubted benefits of sport.
3. Outstanding value. Sponsorship at Albion Junior Cricket starts at only $450-500 to be a team sponsor. This is a level that any small business can afford, and is more effective compared with many other forms of marketing.
4. Builds goodwill. Companies that sponsor clubs make a positive contribution to the local community. The community engages with and starts to understand your company’s values.
5. Possible tax incentive. As an added bonus, your business should be able to claim your sponsorship back.                                                                                                                                                                                                    In 2018-19 Albion are looking to kit out the Junior Club in coloured sleeveless vests.  At $52 per vest, this is not a cheap exercise.  If you sponsor a team -$470 for 9 vests - then the name of your business will be embroided on the sponsored tops and we will advertise your business on our website.  If keen contact the club at [email protected]
