SPonsorship Group 2011

[Mr Magic]

I have received some information from the Club about next year's program.

They are again split into 4 price categories:-
Captain $3200
Leadership $2300
Core $1950
Development $1450

(as yet they haven't advised which players fit into which categories)

What we get for our sponsorship?
If we 'break up teh benefits into 'prizes' (as oer oreviously), we end up with the following per player:-

2 tickets for the Pre-Season launch
2 tickets to the B&F Dinner
2 tickets to the Match Day Event
2 tickets to an 'In-Season Player Sponsor's Event' (new this year replacing Hall of Fame Dinner)
1 Signed & Framed Memorabilia piece.

Additionally the Club have announced an 'upgraded' sponsorship version in all categories which they classify as 'Premium Player Sponsorship'
For an additional payment of $1500 per player (in any category) we can receive the following additional 'prizes' per player:-

2 more tickets to Pre-Season Launch
2 more tickets to the B&F Dinner
Lunch with sponsored player at Linen House Centre (Frankston)
2 people to visit change rooms post-game at a Home game
2 invitations to attend an 'Executive Function' at a selected Home game.
An upgraded version of signed memorabilia piece (to replace the one in the normal package - not an additional piece).

If we repeat what we did in 2010 we would sponsor 5 players.
Alternatively we could sponser less players but take up some 'premium' packages and get some different 'prizes'?

Again this group runs as a democracy and the majority decision will determine which way we go.

I'm more than happy with our current level of sponsorship and the quality & quantity of what we get for it !!

[Maxstar22]

If we took the premium option, how many less players would we sponsor??

[Eastern]

From Saintbrat who can't post for whatever reason !!

would you like to put My suggestion for Sponsorship up
Please

Quote:
personally I would start with One player cost- core or rookie and once that players cost is subscribed then go another

rather than assume the group can fund the 5 automatically.

Agree with this in part, but I think maybe start with 2-3 pretty safely

We had no real issues getting over the 4 player mark this last season.

The last 50 odd shares ($15 each) for the 5th player were difficult.
Remember also that we had some 'core' group players (more expensive) amongst our 5 chosen.

My own personal choice is for new players each year, especially those that have no other sponsor (each player can have a maximum of 5 sponsors)

[markinUSA]

Well, let's try for five basic ones again... and see how we go. At least start with four.
You can put me down for another 10 shares, thanks!

[bobmurray]

I'll go 4 shares when we get to the share nomination stage.

[Eastern]

Each year I get concerned about those who pledge to buy shares and either are late payers or don't pay at all. Could we make it a rule that ALL monies pledged must be paid within 30 days of a nominated date? !!

agreed and I share with your frustration, but some are overseas and some have limited access to the internet...

Just how do you monitor that and weigh up those poster that finally pay??

[SainterK]

I'd be in again, is there anyone else that may benefit from some SS love though next year....spread the supporter 'support' around some?

agree with this. lets start with 2-3 players and see where we get to.

[St Michele]

Me too

[Bernard Shakey]

Would be happy to go the same five again. They are the future.

[saintbrat]

what if' figures

although easy enough to calculate

Development player Basic- $1450 if kept at $15 per share virtualy 100 ( 96.6) shares + Premium $1,500 = 200 ( 196.6)shares

Core Player basic $1950 = 130 shares + premium $1,500 = 230 shares

2010 we had 2 core and 3 development. so at the above prices the cost for the same 5 would be
Basic $1450 X 3 = $4,350 = 290 shares Premium $8850 = 590 shares
Core $1950 X 2 = $3,900 = 260 shares Premium $6900 = 460 shares
........................Total = 550 shares .............Total = 1,050 shares

Captain $3200 Basic ( was fully sponsored in 2010) Premium $4700
Leadership $2300 Basic Premium 3,800

from 2010 sponsorship

The total cost of these 5 players is $7,750, which does not divide up exactly into the $15 shares we've had previously.
It equates to 516.66 shares @ $15

http://www.saintsational.com/forum/view ... hp?t=58541
with in the very end- August- only about 15 shares outstanding.









ps feel free to check my accounting - I am not a mathematician.

[goodie]

That premium option sounds awesome, I'm for sponsoring upgrading one and sponsoring one less.

I'm in again next year of course

[Iceman234]

All for it again MM, put me down for ten shares.

It's our year...

[matrix]

yeah stick me down for four this year

[plugger66]

I have never put in for sponsorship so it is probably none of my business but did you get all your money MM because last time I looked you were still well short which doesnt really seem fair to me.

plugger, feel free to join in - it's a great sense of comraderie being a member!

There were a few who didn't end up paying last year - mainly posters who seemed to ahve disappeared off the forum (haven't seen them post since they asked for shares), but not enough to cause consternation.

Ultimately I ended up with more shares in my own name than I had originally anticipated - it didn't help when the prize rafle was done!!!!!!!
