What is sponsorship?• Sponsorship is a commercial deal where a business
provides support, usually financial, for a team, athlete or event.
• Companies hope to enhance their advertising and brand recognition by association with a sport or athlete, presenting their brand and products in a positive light.

Why is it hard to get sponsorship?
• Sponsors like a safe bet! It will be easier to get sponsored if you are already well known.
• If the sport or the athlete are on TV this will really help to attract a sponsor.
• It is easier for higher level athletes, players and teams to get sponsored.
• It is harder for women and ethnic minorities to attract sponsorship.
• You may write a hundred letters to potential sponsors and get no replies.
Your team task…
•You have a place on the board of a multi-national company and your team are presenting to the board, asking them to make you responsible for this year’s sponsorship money.
•You have considered sponsoring a female athlete who represents Great Britain.
•You have to give a presentation to the board on the strengths and weaknesses of your case so that they can decide which one will benefit the company the most. Remember, the successful team receives a considerable bonus in this company (stickers or SIMS?)

Is it the wrong image for sport?

• Sports sponsored by alcohol and tobacco companies are subject to very strict guidelines.
