The Mariners have just under 3 million is sponsors but no major
sponsor, a lot of local sponsors. I think we have 15 sponsors
with the biggest about 350, 000. Their's a group of local Real
Estate Agents 250, 000, but its all local to the Central Coast
towns
Its very clever and helps build relationships across the
community. The Mariners copied the model from Melbourne Victory who
have both more sponsors and more money than the Mariners.
In addation to the money a bunch of local
businesses start to support the team. In their own
local advertising and helps heaps with cred with local media.
Just letting you guys know what is working for us, maybe it
can help you guys to.
