Ive been reading past posts on here amd seen people are able to raise well and aboce 3K! How?
Last 2 seasons we have had 3 players that own business sponsor us for a total of £1100.
The seasons before we left it to our President who bought in £300 2 seasons in a row and £500 a couple of seasons before that and thought that was the best thing ever!
Ive tried alot of the local village businesses last year with no luck and tried the bigger town adjacent again with no luck as of yet, apart from the new micro pub in the town which i pounced on pretty much the day it opened and they've staying interested ever since!
What i want to know it how much do you ask until you either give up waiting for an answer or they get fed up being nagged they say no just on principle?
We give plenty of options at low prices (all negotiable)
Options;(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160308/30b0a5465a5e173816f8159302655f3c.jpg)
Edit to picture: 1 of the ball sponsors is taken at £250 instead of £300. And the main sponsor was offered to a player at less than half price.
Again all prices are just a guide (especially the main, we are just pushing for what we think are is an average price for our area)

Bat sponsors are all well and good, but how many people would actually apply the stickers?
Also,if you have a few forumites that could be expensive.
"Yeah, most people will need 1 or 2 each, but there's X CBF members who will need 25 each to start, and I'll need a constant supply through the season..."

Haha knowing my club, 2 of us are forumites. And im the most active! And i don't use many bats (own a few though) and i can guarantee atleast 20 of the 33 players would stick one on their bat if it meant we could save for better facilities

Why no option to just have an advertising board at a sensible price? This is probably the main source of income away from match shirt/main sponsor in my experience. Many local businesses may already have an advert bird at a local sports club (check local football/rugby/golf(yes golf!)tennis/etc clubs. These businesses will have some knowledge of the going rate for a board and probably won't see the benefit of paying more to have a board AND sponsor the balls
Equally, seems to be no options just to have an advert in Club handbook/fixture card? £25-£50 for an advert in those is usually the going rate depending on size, lots of local businesses would be interested in an advert in those providing a reasonable number are distributed

All noted Jake thank you! There are a little options i havnt got on this such as webite advert. When i did make thia we had no plans in a fixture card as we found it was a waste printing them out and also the previous people that printed for us were a professional business run by one of our players so he did it for us for free and noone was interested in them as everything is online now! What sprt of price would you suggest for an advertising board just so i can approach a few businesses at the weekend with a close figure for them to consider or negotiate to their normal price if lower
-
They are the two most common ways of ringing in reasonable amounts of money in my experience
Depends on the going rate locally to be honest. We charge £100 per year plus the cost to setup up the board.
-
Sounds reasonable! Im sure vistaprint make board for around £20 as well so its not muxh more on top

We sold bat stickers as part of a ground package that included stump sponsor and website. Combine the small things into a bigger package.

Always thought boards cost a lot more than that to produce. Are they really only £20?
-
We are using aluminium boards and they are around £45-50

Anyway before we go off eben further on the tangent, how does everyone approach sponsors? Email around in a cold calling manor or personally visit them?
Surely not every one has the time for the later so how else would you do it with out spamming with emails?
-
I just sent emails to companies I know then a load of local firms

We always have most success with personal visits, should we not be able to, a personalised posted letter is the way forward.

Thats what I've done, clearly where i live they are all tighter than a nun!
