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


good thinking! they're a huge outfit, have a presence in Aussie and NZ, doesn't look like their sponsorship would upset any current A league sponsors and there's so much synergy between their product (heat pumps) and 'phoenixes rising from the ashes', playing at the 'Ring of Fire', etc

He seems to get nice cheap trips all over Australia!!!

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

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
 
Non of the banks will sponsor them due to the fact that they play at the westpac stadium and they could not advertise there on the  boarding
