On Wednesday 18th March, from 6:45pm, join us in The Premier Club suite at the Newcastle Red Bulls Kingston Park Stadium for a free workshop on the topic of sponsorship. We will be joined by Carys Oldall-Smith from sponsorship experts’ Orchard, an award-winning sponsorship agency who, over the past 3 years, alongside their impressive portfolio of work/clients have specifically supported well over 35+ community rugby clubs with detailed support, as well as producing a range of free resources for all RFU clubs. The workshop will focus on the essentials of maximising your sponsorship and drawing on the experience Orchard have had working with these clubs. There will be opportunities to ask questions, meet others in similar roles from other clubs and hear/share successes/challenges.
The workshop will focus on providing hints/tips/tools to help you/your club:
- appeal to a larger and broader number of organisations
- build packages that work for sponsors/partners
- consider pricing strategy
- enhance your sales approach and generate more income
This workshop has been piloted with great success in four other counties, and whilst it is ideally aimed at sponsorship leads, please do come along if of interest for your current role at your club. You can register to attend by e-mailing Claire Sharpe (claire.sharpe@northumberlandrfu.co.uk).
A light supper (free of charge) will be provided ahead of the workshop starting. The timings are:
