I wore my warmest Saints shirt to a function at the St.Kilda Saints ground last year, when Nicky Winmar was there. He came up to me and said, "That's an old shirt!" It had Tooheys and Puma on it. I went , cring, cring.

Well not like Tiger....they are a big believer in viral and guerilla marketing. They do marketing on the cheap.....and in ways meshing with their product...ie internet booking of flights.The Peanut wrote:... like Tiger AirwayssaintsRrising wrote: ... Lets face it...sponsoring an AFL club mainly offers branding value...and organistations that already have a strong brand have little need for the Saints. We are a good fit for an organisation that wants to build brand awareness.
... but Saints Airline would sound a lot better! ... and Virgin wouldn't be exactly correct ... but it feels like it.
They tend to just issue very cheap sales with lots of group emails etc to build brand awareness.
I was lucking enough to snag 5 seats for Phukeet to Singapore for a $1SIN plus taxes when they expanded 2 years back and have kept an eye on them since.
But there are several wealthy Arab based airlines that are seeking to ramp up their business in Australia....and who are all blessed with deep oil funded pockets (ie they wnat to build businesses now so that they have alternate income streams when the oil money runs out).

not sure about the rules and who the afl have currently on-board ... but I heard a rumour a while back about 'an airline company' ... could be way offf the track though.Mr Magic wrote:
Do the AFL have a 'major sponsorship deal' with Qantas? If so, won't that preclude us getting an airline major sponsor?
Similar to the problems we had with Tooheys?
... and even if Tiger were to spend some money on branding ... there is a more likely team.

....Though as we all know the Pies have their own set of AFL rules......
There are several new Arab airlines though...but they may not want to sponsor a team called the Saints!!!

I had an old 'proper' black wool jumper with a woven crest in the shirt pocket position - I loved it and wore it to death - lots of people talked to me about it and wanted one. No ads - good quality with the logo featured. wouldn't suit many people but there are still a few oldies around that like that sort of thing and are not accostomed to wearing advertising on their clothing - I'm one of them.borderbarry wrote:I wore my warmest Saints shirt to a function at the St.Kilda Saints ground last year, when Nicky Winmar was there.

When we took Bill express on, nobody knew who they were or what they did, ditto Mortgage House.
As long as it isn'ty like half the A-League or EPL sponsors, most of whom I've never heard of (what is "Bing Lee" anyway? )
Their money is still the same colour .........
The exposure these companies get is pretty godd IMO...
tobacco companies are not legally allowed to these days, doubt many brothels have the money
weren't the saint sponsored by them umpteen years ago?
