Title: Sponsorship
Post by: amoboko on April 05, 2010, 12:17:25 PM

Hi guys,

Don't really know where to post this topic. But here it goes.
I'm searching sponsorship for my team in Belgium. As sponsorship is a delicate topic, I don't want to start a plethora of off- topic discussions. Just interested in names of manufactures and/or suppliers who might be interested in sponsoring an overseas cricket team.

So if you're or your friend(s), family are sponsored, please let me know which companies.

For the moment the board and me are working on a kind of business plan so as soon as that's finished I'll address to companies.

At this stage I'm just doing a little market research.

Happy Easter and hope you can help me out.

Cheers

The sponsorship would be divided between all youth clubs ( junior development) and my team.
So I'm not really looking for clothing but more equipment wise. Reductions are a step in the good direction but you never know who might be interested in sponsoring us.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

Cheers

If you want equipment then some brands such as Slazenger do bulk sets that sell 4 bats, bags, pads, gloves, stumps etc but I don't think it's great quality.....

Well everything helps to develop and stimulate the growth of cricket in Belgium.
I will be happy if we would receive the discount, all bits help.
