Title: Forum Sponsors Investment
Post by: arsenal123 on September 18, 2014, 09:35:37 AM
Following on from the Mongoose thread, it being up for sale etc etc.

Which of our forum sponsors would you like to get involved in.  Theoretically, you have £50,000-100,000 you can pump into the company and become a part of it.  Where would you look at investing it and why?

How would you look to improve on the brand etc...?

I'm going to narrow it down to those that have a full range of bats and softs.

Aldred, B3, B&S, BB, Bulldog, Fatbats, Hammer, H4L, Kippax, MSR, Red Ink, Blue Room, Shamrock, Shark.

Like the branding, think they've got an excellent name as much as anything. Backed up by top, top quality products.

Would spend the money primarily on increasing the number of retailers that stock the range, as I think the branding stands out enough to get noticed without the need for extortionate amounts on Sponsorship.

Having said that, would look to sponsor some of the county pros who get to play on Sky regularly (Essex, Notts, Warks) rather than sponsoring players who don't get the airtime for their counties. Ideal one would be Ryan ten Doeschate. Essex OD Captain, plenty of air time and gets a good gig in the IPL / Champions League.
