Sport-SOS is a fast
growing cause-related marketplace on the internet.
Dedicated to awareness and education, Sport-SOS
will ensure you the exposure and increased recognition of your name, brand,
products and services. It offers a multitude of possibilities for new and
existing business partners.
Only a limited number of qualified companies can join. Participation affords our partners exposure to a fast
growing, vast but tightly targeted youth market segment in North America and
abroad.
Q & A
How come Sport-SOS partnership marketing programs are so affordable? Most traditional ads
and sponsorships cost tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars...
A. First of all, we are a volunteer based organization. We use
word-of-mouth recommendations. We do NOT pay professional salespeople
to acquire the businesses. Also, Sport-SOS marketplace was created to
appeal even to small business owners who otherwise could not afford to
participate.
1. SportSOS marketplace is a cause-related partnership marketing program.
2. Our mission is to increase awareness and help raise funds for youth sports-related causes.
3. We can keep the marketing cost down because we don't pay professional salespeople.
4. Businesses are more apt to participate when approached by a local
non-profit group than when approached by a fundraising sales pro. Also
most volunteers' kids play sports, they have direct contacts with their
employer or they are business owners who are likely to participate by
supporting their own kids’, niece's, nephew's, grandkid's... sports
organization.
Q. How hard is it to get businesses to participate?
A. Not hard at all. Cause-related partner programs are very effective
marketing & PR tools. Participation is made affordable by pooling
many partner resources. Just ask them! Almost all businesses want to
support SportSOS sponsored awareness fundraisers - in return for very
low cost advertising.
TIP:
Ask your membership
if they have business contacts in your local community. Ask private
business owners if they would like to promote their goods and services
- invite them to join your awareness fundraiser that
will help your non-profit organization.
