Brand Building through Event Marketing Sponsorships
February 20th 2007 17:53
A lot of us are familiar with the various sports entertainment activities that have become popular in the world. The likes of the NBA, PBA, PBL, World Cup Soccer, NFL, Major League Baseball and Asian Games, are only some of the many prestigious brand names in sports. Aside from honor and prestige towards the countries and teams participating in such events, their names are also the identifying markers that help boost up the awareness. The whole setup is a marketing machine itself, each being composed of the usual advertising and promotional factors such as television media, radio, print advertising and Internet advertising as well. The sum of all the advertising and promotion cost, if looked upon closely, can be compared to a budget advertising medium, that includes the key promotional factors enumerated above.
The investment requires a large amount at first, but given the proper study, most people will see that they are much more competitive compared to partaking in the individual media alone. This is where such products as Gatorade, Chin Chin, and Red Bull made their mark. Sports events such as basketball, football, badminton and bowling are among the world televised events which bear logos of different companies, flashed as an athlete is seen on television. If one can just imagine the length of the exposure in television that lets say a bowler in Paeng Nepomuceno with the logo patch of Chin Chin Black Gulaman on his shoulder, compared to the sole flash which would roughly cost at P50,000.00 or $1,000.00 in the Philippines for a 5 second exposure, the comparison needs no further explanation. The total packaged advertising and promotional scheme is the best marketing strategy, but this should be done on a first come first served basis. This is perhaps another reason why most people prefer packaged schemes since the components of such are much more beneficial than taking on the individual schemes which may not even return the expected exposure done through them.
