Core: $2,000
Development: $1,700

Premium Player Sponsor Program
· Additional (2) invitations to the STKFC Season Launch/Hall of Fame inc Player Sponsor Pre Function Photo Opportunity (Sponsor Photo and mingle with ALL players)
· Additional (2) invitations to the St Kilda FC Best and Fairest – Trevor Barker Medal

PREMIUM PLAYER SPONSORS
Captain: $5,000
Leadership: $4,000
Core: $3,700
Development: $3,500

A big change this year is the addition of the Golf Day/Lawn bowls evening to the premium sponsor packages. I really think we could give the $3,500 a shake.

Now of course we know that Heyney has unfortunately been delisted. So that means we'll be sponsoring someone new in 2012. Now I was proactive in regards to this because I didn't want us to miss out on a player. That being the case I have managed to get a slot to premium sponsor Tom Ledger in 2012. The player sponsorship program is becoming increasingly popular so getting a player is no easy task. I realise a few of you may prefer to sponsor one of our new draft selections, but I thought it was better to grab Tom instead of having to battle it out for a draft player. Happy to discuss this further though.

Shares in the sponsorship will be $25 each, with any contribution of $50 or more earning you a BigFooty Gold Membership for a year. Due to the issues with credit card payments last year, I will make PayPal a payment option in 2012.

For any first time sponsors looking to get involved, please don't hesitate. The sponsorship is a great thing to be part of and gives you some wonderful opportunites to get up close to the players.

I'll create a separate thread for sponsorship pledges and as always if you have any questions either leave them here or PM me.

Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

Those sound like some awesome incentives. Might think twice about putting my hand up for the pre-season function, Mornington's a long way for me (especially given the free booze on hand).

Golf and lawn bowls day certainly sounds like an interesting one. Goddard and Big Fish's sponsors are certainly advantaged in the former (or disadvantaged as they'd get around quicker and maybe spend less time with them).

Cool with sponsoring Saad. If we pick up Danny Hughes he would've gotten my vote, if for no other reason than I played junior cricket with him and would like to see how much I could bring up before he remembers me (or not).
 
Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

I'll still need to confirm if we reach premium status that Saad's slot is available. Players can be sponsored up to 4 times each, but only one premium sponsorship per player. Looking encouraging thus far though.

Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

I'd happy to go tot he golf day and take one for the team, i can be that hack bloke who can't golf for the life of him and you can be the one to ask all the questions and laugh at my failings. Then I'll lose all but one club in the water and bags not going in to retrieve them.

Lawn bowls is surprisingly more anal, do not want that.
 
Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

I posted a link to this page via the BigFootySaints Twitter account as per the request by L2MFG.

If everybody can give it a RT we can get it out to as many people as possible. :thumbsu:
 
Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

How are the benefits given to the sponsor assigned?

I ask everyone who has shares in the sponsorship on their availability and I raffle the names. If you 4 shares, you have 4 chances to win, etc.
 
Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

Looks like we've been lucky enough to have a premium sponsorship spot on Tommy Ledger held for us for 2012. If that isn't motivation to join the programme, I don't know what is!

Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

Is there a deadline for payment Squizz, just I'm really gonna struggle to find an extra 50 bucks at the moment. Might have to downgrade to just the $25... :(

There will be if you refer to the wrong poster!!!!

PM me with when you think you can get it paid and we'll work something out.
 
Re: Official 2012 Player Sponsorship Thread

Has there ever been a BigFooty sponsored Saint that has gone on to better things.
I seem to recall Nick Heyne, Barry Brooks, etc.
Kiss of Death?

It might seem that way, but we did take Heyney who was a second round draft selection in a weakish draft. High risk category. Great chance to sponsor Tommy Ledger who has given a brief taste of what he is capable of. Would have a certain pride if Tommy could be a 10 year player and we were with him from early doors.
