Baguley Athletic are still a relatively new football club, and we have the potential to grow and develop a number of football teams in the coming years. 1veryone who is to be associated with Baguley Athletic will be an unpaid volunteer, which means that any financial support is vital in underpinning our success. 2ponsoring a local football team could open up so much potential revenue from geographically targeted customers, and for a very small outlay you also gain fantastic publicity for your support. 3unning a football team ta"es consistent on4going dedication from volunteers that give up their free time for the love of the game, and we are loo"ing forward to demonstrating the plans that we have in place to be successful both on and off the field. /he development of any football team, especially its financial stability, relies on the support and commitment of a sponsor. e can assure your business that we are worthy of sponsorship and we loo" forward to building a long term relationship that is beneficial for both parties. /here are a number of reasons why you might be interested in supporting a grassroots football team and in particular Baguley Athletic. e "now that any business loo"ing to provide funding needs a good reason to support us. 5ur football team will be playing league games, cup games and pre season friendlies. !layers, spectators, friends and family will undoubtedly ta"e notice of your advertising. 1very local business has a desire to increase their sales and brand awareness. 6owever, rather than paying a mar"eting agency to promote your brand, or investing in [Link] mar"eting campaigns to increase the awareness of your business, we believe sponsorship is e7ually effective at a considerably lower cost, whilst attracting the attention of your target audience. By sponsoring a grassroots football team you will be able to build awareness whilst promoting your products or services. Furthermore, with your business0 name being proudly associated with our football team, it will result in more [Link] via the league and cup competitions that we compete in. !lus, increased publicity may be obtained through newspapers and websites reporting on our football matches. /he high probability of this F311 additional media coverage will help this become a great return on investment. e are very much aware that the current economic climate has caused many problems for businesses, and we can assure you, wherever possible everyone associated with Baguley Athletic will gladly use your products as a than" you for supporting us. e have a website that is regularly updated and as our primary sponsor you will have a large advertising presence on the website. e will also "eep in regular contact with all people involved with us by email, and we would be happy to send regular offers to everyone on behalf of your business. e are aware that your reputation is paramount, so everyone associated with the club, when in club uniform, will be aware that they are visible representatives of your business. /he primary re7uirements for ne.t season is to help with player "its and e7uipment that will be needed to train the players to a high standard. e would also appreciate any other funding tohelp support the costs for the pitch, training facilities and trac"suits8waterproofs. ,n return we would proudly wear your business logo on our shirts and for your business to be listed as one of our "ey sponsors on our website. 9ou will also receive a framed team photo, and will be invited to all "ey social events.
