Sponsorship Opportunities
There are a number of opportunities related to possible sponsorship
within the sport of artistic roller-skating providing a sponsor
a choice of commitment to suit the sum of money or services
to be provided.
|
| Skater Sponsorship |
It is possible to sponsor a skater(s) [or a pair in the event
of a dance couple by contributing to their equipment and clothing
costs, training costs, travel costs, or special conditioning
and overseas training.
The skater(s) in return will undertake to mention the sponsorship,
can wear a limited size of motive or badge on their clothing
recognising the sponsor, be available for publicity purposes
[within reason] arranged by the sponsor
|
| Event(s) Sponsorship |
There are a number of National Championships
that are available for sponsorship. The sponsor can take "title
name" of the event, which would be used in all media contact
and announcements. All rink side advertising would major on
the sponsors name together with programme advertising.
Under this type of support all media connections and photo calls
would carry the sponsors name. Provision for hospitality
accommodation at an agreed standard would be provided. There
are International events that could be held in the U.K. available
within this category. |
| Special Sponsorship |
There are times when a specific Gala
event might be organised with a choice of skaters both of National
and International standing. Such events are custom arranged,
usually in conjunction with the sponsors agent. There
is considerable value is this type of event as the show can
be totally biased to a product or service. The sponsor usually
combines such an event with a hospitality feature in which the
skaters can participate. |
| Team Sponsorship |
Throughout the skating year British
teams of skaters travel Europe and the World to compete in international
events. Such teams require assistance with travel arrangements,
travel costs, equipment costs, uniform costs and general welfare
facilities. Under this heading it is possible for a team to
carry within their uniform or training outfits the name of a
sponsor. A very limited display cover during the competition
performance is also available. All press releases associated
with the team and any media contact would include references
to a sponsor. It should be noted that a number of the World
and European events are covered by overseas TV. |
| Venue Sponsorship |
The cost of providing a facility
to hold skating events can sometimes be a matter of considerable
expense. It possible to recognise the provision of a facility
by a company or local council by indicating on all announcements
and media contact that the facilities have been kindly provided
for the purpose of the event. |
| Club or Skating School Sponsorship |
In order to safeguard the status
of the skater(s) and ensure skaters are not exploited; FARS
must approve this type of sponsorship. It revolves around the
Club or Skating School being fully or part sponsored by an individual,
company or association. Under this type of support the matter
is between the sponsor and the Club or School. However, the
Federation is available to give advice as to the standard of
skating involved within the organisation and confirmation of
recent results home and abroad of the respective Club, or School
