Here at sponsor seeker our main goal is to bring businesses/investors to yourselves or club. Before this is achieved you need to ensure that you have the best possible sponsorship proposal you can make, to show why yourselves or your club is the best sponsor for these investors/businesses.

These are some tips in what needs to go in each box and why :

 

  • You need to explain who you are.

This part of the sponsorship proposal is vital as its not only the first thing they see its also allows the sponsor to understand who you are and where you’re from.

 

  • Write about what you do as a club or which sport you play

Now they understand who you are they can now read more about which sport you play or what your club does. This allows them to judge whether you meet their sponsorship criteria.

 

  • Some facts/ achievements about your club or self.

This is where you can express yourself to the potential sponsor, this bit can be unique to yourselves e.g., 2017 I won the English amateur, or our club is the oldest club in Yorkshire which won the division 1 title in 2019.

Businesses want to know where their money will be going, just like anyone. For example, accommodation for the up coming season, new parts for motorsports and even equipment needed to function for the seasons ahead.
