Club Sponsorship Edge

Your club already has sponsors. The question is whether you are getting the most from them.

Most clubs do not need to start sponsorship again.

They need to identify what is working, what could be stronger and where the next opportunity sits.

Club Sponsorship Edge helps your committee strengthen the sponsorship program you already have without rebuilding everything from scratch.

For the first 10 clubs: private 30-minute Club Sponsorship Edge Committee Workshop with Terry Johnston.

Club Sponsorship Edge

Your club does not need another folder of sponsorship material. It needs to know what is worth fixing first.

The problem

Sponsorship has usually grown one sponsor at a time.

A local business comes on board. Someone knows someone. A fence sign is added. A logo goes on a jersey. Another sponsor takes a package.

Are we charging the right amount?

Pricing can stay where it has always been even when the club, audience and opportunity have grown.

Could existing sponsors do more?

Some of the strongest opportunities may already sit inside current sponsor relationships.

Are the benefits valuable?

Clubs need to know which benefits genuinely matter to businesses rather than simply adding more inclusions.

Are we explaining our reach properly?

Audience, community profile and local reach need to be presented clearly and commercially.

Are we approaching the right businesses?

Better targeting can be more valuable than simply contacting a longer list of prospects.

What should we improve next?

The committee needs a clear next move before spending time rebuilding the entire sponsorship program.

Club Sponsorship Edge helps your committee answer those questions without throwing away what you already have.

Bring the people who make sponsorship decisions at your club.

Up to four committee representatives can attend so the advice is heard directly by the people responsible for sponsorship rather than being passed back second-hand through the committee.

No lengthy preparation is required.

If your club already has a sponsorship proposal or package, send it through before the workshop. If not, simply come prepared to explain how sponsorship currently works at your club.

Frequently asked questions

What club committees usually want to know.

Do we need to be starting sponsorship from scratch?

No. Club Sponsorship Edge is primarily designed for clubs that already have some sponsorship and want to strengthen the way it is structured, presented and developed.

Do we have to complete all the templates?

No. Use the resources relevant to your club's current sponsorship priorities. Edge is a practical toolkit, not a course that needs to be completed from beginning to end.

Who should attend the 30-minute Committee Workshop?

Bring the people involved in sponsorship decisions at your club. Up to four committee representatives can attend. This might include your President or Chair, sponsorship lead, Treasurer, General Manager, Secretary or another relevant committee member.

Do we need to prepare anything before the workshop?

No lengthy preparation is required. If you already have a sponsorship proposal or package, you can send it through beforehand. Otherwise, simply be ready to explain how sponsorship currently works at your club.

What happens in the 30 minutes?

Terry will look at where your club currently sits and help your committee identify the three sponsorship priorities worth focusing on next.

Is the workshop included permanently?

No. The private Committee Workshop is a special relaunch bonus for the first 10 clubs purchasing Club Sponsorship Edge.
