Hello Dear, I guess you are looking for a partner who will help sponsor your upcoming School Inter-house sports competition. You are not the first person, so many schools have contacted me, wanting me to help find sponsors for them. It seems so difficult to get, I guess that's the reason you are reading this post, right?
One thing you may not know is this: while you are searching for a sponsor, there are also companies and brands looking out for events like school Inter-house sports competitions, where they can come to activate sales/awareness for their new product or to reforce the sales of their already existing brand.
Brands whose target consumers are children or teenagers are likely to be interested in partnering with your school to make your upcoming Inter-house sports competition a memorable event. As long as you make the right proposal to the right person at the right time.
Here, I will share with you 17 companies and brands who are ready to partner with your school Inter-house sports competition; as long as you make the right proposal at the right time.
The Right Proposal:
Do not ask the company to finance the event, you will scare them away. Rather, ask them to use their product samples as prizes for winners or freebies (give away) for all attendence during the event.
Ask them to make available trophies and medals with their brand inscriptions on them.
Ask them to sponsor some events such as table tennis, football, sack race... and let them purchase equipments (bat, rackets, balls, nets...) needed for that event. Let your organizing committee be creative about what to ask potential sponsors..
Return on Investment
Always propose to give something back to the companies who are willing to sponsor the sports event. Maybe, an advert space on the school's inter-house sports brochures. Perhaps, allow the brand to set up a boot in the venue where they can sell or give free sample (experiential marketing). You can also allow brands to host their flags or share other promotional items during the event.
The Right Time
Send in your proposal at least three months before the event. You may even start earlier to interact with the right officials inside the company... to find out when it is most convenient for thetir company to perform the sponsorship obligations, then schedule your school inter-house sports competition around that time.
Connect with An Insider
Find an insider (contact person) who will help push your proposal to the right officers incharge and avoid all the gatekeepers who may throw your proposal into a waste basket.
The right insider is probably the brand manager or any person who works with the brand manager or the marketing department. Let one person in your school or member of the organizing committee try to establish personal relationship with the insider.
Having given you all the relevant tips, let me go ahead to list the 20 brands, their addresses and possible telephone number you can contact.
