Finding a new sponsor

[Romey 169]

One of our most successful sponsorships to date, Kaspersky, was spawned from a passionate Melbourne supporter who took the initiative to approach his employer about a sponsorship opportunity that would benefit both his company and his club. There are about 2,500 Demonland members who read this site and many of these would either work for or have associations with organisations that could potentially be interested in sponsorship opportunities with our club. I wonder how many sponsorship leads Demonlanders could generate for the club, large or small, through taking a well reasoned business proposition to the right people within their organisation.

Although much of our publicity of late has not been positive we still offer sponsors brand exposure to millions of consumers as a member of this countries most popular sporting competition. Timing is everything in business and right now there is a unique opportunity for the Dees to canvass new organisations outside the normal cycle with no competition from other clubs who all currently have sponsorship deals secured. Thoughts?

Friend perspective sponsors on Facebook and don't sign until they accept?

It's a good idea, anything positive at this time would be helpful. Provided the proposed contribution is significant of course.

I know it sounds lame but what about a forum/supporter wide social media campaign. Get everyone on big footy, demonland, ology, the cheer squad to start something on twitter and get it trending. I'm sure some of the players would jump onto it.

Look at the guy who did the Scully video that went viral last year and the Kony video this year. I know there are a lot of talented people on here so if they created something amazing we could register as a blip on a companies map and it could go from there.

Or if all else fails isnt there a mining magnate we can use for political purposes and splash say no to carbon tax across the back of our jumpers. It would fit well with our traditional supporter base. It might be slightly against AFL policy though.
