the above is quoted from the WP CE
So, any suggestions?
Only one I've heard so far on this forum is the Cool Brittania store (who could set up an outlet at the Stadium) - but WP may be looking for someone with deeper pockets

Steinlager maybe. or Steiny pure. now that they arnt on the
allblacks jerseys they might need some more exposure. I also think
Tourism nz would be a great sponsor. having 100% pure nz on the
shirts would be cool

I wonder if Michael Hill is a football fan?

it has to be something that appeals to the Oz market aswell as
here....
subway?
LG (the electronic company)?
McDonalds?
Yamaha?
you can rule out any airline, car manufacturer, drinks maker or anyone in competition OR who is a sponsor of the league (Hyundai, Quantas, Telstra, Powerade, Ballentines, Zurich, Fox)

over here in NZ the Warehouse is aka 'the red shed' and I thought they bought into the 'yellow shed' in Aussie, took a pasting ( a few years' losses) and have sold up and moved out ?
I might be wrong.

Alright, on the sponsor front, I am really pleased that they havnt just jumped in and takin anything, I feel that the sponsor says alot about the club, obv if a big company like Toyota gets on board it demonstartes confidance in the team, and that they see it as a positive image, ie. them and TeamNZ. I like the ideas being thrown around about matchin colours or themes, however I also see it to be more important to get the biggest profile company on baord. How about AMI insurance (yellow, and lots of money) they have just bought jade stadium in Chch, so probably not. Insurance, Banking, Utilities, all got good balance sheets, however they mostly seem to be already involved in sport sponsors, ah well I look forward to the best.
As long as we dont go the same way as 'The Kiwis' and end up with Crisco Christmas Hampers I will be happy.

BNZ is owned by National Australia Bank but cant see them
sponsoring as the team play at the Westpac Stadium

Likewise you can rule out any car manufacturer because of Hyundai
and I suspect phone providers might cause a clash with Telstra.

perhaps if we told them that it's been renamed "the Ring of
Fire"
(and if they still have a problem, we could always use the
same approach to lure Patak's into a deal)

Please, please, please NOT the Chrisco Phoenix!!!!!! Just sounds cheap and nasty. Its a pretty stink name for the poor Rugby league guys too! Tony Pignata said that they are looking for a good fit with the club and where they're at, at the moment and where they want to go. So thats a good sign I think. I like the Tourism idea for a sponsor, if the Govt can spend $45 million on a silly yacht race why not put it into the biggest participation sport in NZ for Kiwi kids - FOOTBALL! Looking forward with interest to the announcement of a sponsor.......

Nooo! Please no beaurecrats having a finger in the phoenix
pie. . .. That would be a disaster. The govt should stick to
rubbish sports like sailing.

Emirates are lashing it about right now, but that would conflict
with Qantas as A-League sponsor.
There is quite a bit of "partnership" money out there.
My lot are shaking hands with "participants" every month.
Tens of millions is not unreasonable when you are delivering a
whole community.

hehehe don't panic Phil style, don't want Govt involvement in the
Phoenix just the $$$$$$$$$$ no strings attached. Didn't appear to
be any with Team NZ sailing. I could be wrong tho.....

The idea behind the tourism idea is to promote NZ. I actually think
it would be beneficial to get 100% pure NZ on a premier league
shirt. it would get more promotion globally than Americas cup ever
would, and it would be cheaper. Imagine if they sponsored the
phoenix and a premiere league team. they come out here and play us
for a pre season warm up. You would get fans traveling from all
over Australasia to watch the team in person.

Wasn't there a thing 2 months a ago that Tourism NZ was ramped up
it's promotion in Oz to get more aussies to come on holiday to
NZ.
A-League/Football is now one of the highest rating sports on Fox in Oz, Sydney and Adelaide both used State Tourism bodies as ACL sponsors
Or we could try for the big guns like RBS, HSBC or Citibank

Charlie's own the Phoenix brand of drinks and today announced they
have bought an Ozzy orange processing plant. The idea is a good
one. $100000.00 does not sound out of the league of a lot of New
Zealand export companies. Heiniken should take up the deal to
compete with stonelonger now ther have pure to try and match the
Heiniken taste.

Heineken dont need to do it. They have thier name all over the
eggball world cup.

DB must be the one to target as a NZ brewer. Yes
the hold the heiniken licence for NZ but have no direct Football
links in NZ and probably Ozz.
Permalink

The problem is DB dont own the licensing rights for Heineken, they cant sponsor anyone with the Heineken logo without approval from Amsterdam. They could use montieths or tui or a brand they own outright, but its the same with Lion, they couldn't put Guinness or Stella on the shirts either.
ps Steinlager pure isnt trying to compete with Heinekens
taste, more its lack of a distinct taste.

Must be different then, because this is actually spent Wherehouse in a clever marketing gimmick that goes over everybody's head because they sell tat anyway and nobody cares.

Good work on the 1,000 members. We just passed 15,000, which shows
how much potential A-League teams have.
Have you guys seen any pics of your away shirt yet?

I emailed Heat Pump place to promote the idea anyway
Dear Daikin
We have just had a Daikin installed in our house in
Matata, Bay of Plenty. We are very happy with it.
NZ's new and only professional soccer team the
Wellington Phoenix are playing in Australia's A League, which is
very high profile. I was thinking that Daikin would be a great
major sponsor for the Phoenix. The Phoenix rose from the ashes (of
failed soccer teams the Knights and the Kingz) and heat pumps rise
from the ashes of old fire places! A great marketing idea I
reckon.
The Phoenix are currently looking for a major sponsor. I
reckon you guys would be ideal. What do you think?
Yours sincerely
Barrie Hawkes

Cheers... looks pretty neat.
Perhaps a little too similar to NZKFC, although I guess
there isn't much choice when you need to go white.

apart from the shape of the ball, that's the only similarity -
