2012 Sponsorship Group

[Mr Magic]

Some details re the 2012 Program are filtering through.
The main change is the pricing structure.
For the newer members of saintsational, the CLub divides the playing group into 3 categories
Leadership
Core
Development

and assigns a different price on players from within those groups.
We nearly always elect to sponsor players from the 'Development' group because they cost less and provide the same 'prizes'
Last year the cost to us was $1450 per player sponsored.
This year the 'Development' category players will cost $1700 each

IN the past few yewars we have sold shares for $15 each.
Should we change that figure?
And to what - $17 per share or $20 per share?
BigFooty sells their shares at $25 per share (and they have already elected to sponsor Saad as their player).

Can we please have some thoughts on the pricing structure?
Majority rule of those who respond will determine which way we go.

Can't recall the cost of living rising by that same percentage.

The club appears to be going by the philosophy of "If you have them by the balls, squeeze them tighter and tighter"

Any improvement in sponsor benefits MM?

A function at the Mornington Races instead of the in-game function class as a improvement??

[SainterK]

I like the concept that you can get this underway to take advantage of the high traffic on here given it's offseason and even the draft coming up.

Not really Grumps, but then I've always looked at it as a way of supporting the Club.

$20 - $25...nothing like sitting on the fence....

Im with the Stingman on this. At least $20 but up to $25 could be the go.

[saintbrat]

I'd agree on the $20- I guess the only thing with $17 is it would be an even 100 shares.

those willing to pay more take 2 = $34 or more
just a suggestion.

[kosifantutti23]

$20 makes things simple.

What do you mean? Stingman and myself usually always agree.

[Eastern]

$20 per share sounds pretty good to me !!

[older saint]

$20 sounds reasonable although disappointing to see no extra benefits for the increase cost.
Like you say a donation but the club does a really poor job with looking after members and smaller sponsors compared to other clubs.

Is that fact? I would have thought most clubs are pretty much the same.

I feel player sponsorship- apart from being a way of attracting smaller corporate groups is also a way for members to be further involved if they wish.

and having done some reasearch- ( not on 2012 yet as many not even organised) that the saints has one of the bigger player sponsorship groups- some clubs are still at having only 1 per player- and then their 'leaders' are much more expensive. which puts it well away from the general member.

What do other clubs do that is better than us?

I have been lucky enough to win a prize in the "Saintsational Sponsorship Raffle" for 2 years running. In 2010 I won a Memorabilia Piece that still hangs in my study. In 2011 I won a ticket for 2 to the Trevor Barker Medal, a night that I will never forget.

From memory this year, apart from the 2 prizes above there is also a day at the races in Mornington, where you will be part of the St Kilda group and a ticket for 2 to the club's season launch for EVERY player sponsorship.

I can also guarantee that the methods used to award prizes are 100% FAIR to EACH & EVERY contributor !!

[saint66au]

Yep I think $20 or $25 is fair...the other groups offering sponsorship are charging around that amount

[Iceman234]

I agree with Stinger and plugger66

[Bernard Shakey]

Whatever the cost I'll have two shares.

[BackFromUSA]

$20 is easy

[The Jeff]

I want in!

[The Jeff]

I want in!

[The Jeff]

Sorry about the triple post folks.

Guess that means I'm in the three shares

[The Redeemer]

Could peeps put me down for a few shares?

I will sort the cash however my internet banking is retarded from Europe at the mo so I will get a family member to sort it.

Ideas on who we could sponsor? Siposs?
