Benefits Of Sponsoring

VicBeach volleyball events and activities attract hundreds of competitors each week, as well as thousands of passing spectators.

During the Summer 2013 season we had ~7,000 unique beach volleyball visits and an estimated 750,000 passers-by!

That’s a lot of “eyeballs” on our fit, fab and fantastic community of beach volleyball players, supporters and sponsor partner brands.

Branding exposure on the beach for sponsor partners is (at own cost3 and) in the form of:

- windbreak banners & teardrop flags - signage on vehicles - post pads (subject to final design) - marquees

VicBeach actively promotes the sport of volleyball and its sponsor partners off the court, online and across social media too via:

- www.vicbeach.com.au website that attracts more than 1.5m hits per annum - E-newsletter distributed to 2,500 subscribers each month. - Facebook group with over 1,250 active and engaged members and a

@VicBeachVolley twitter account with 350+ followers. - Branded apparel + collateral prepared and distributed with sponsor partner

logos. - Regular promotion in local press including “St Kilda News” and Community

TV.

With your help we will make Summer 2014 the best ever:

- Offering $15,000 in prize money for the ranking series events to attract the very best players in Victoria to compete at every event.

- Ensuring consistent product prizes for players in all rankings and social events i.e. winners and runner-ups in Mens, Womens and Mixed AAA, AA, A, B levels.
