For example, many co
38、mpanies sponsored the 8th National Games held in Shanghai in 1997. Then, what exactly do companies and industries get out of sponsoring big sports events, such as international games? And why do they do so?There is an obvious answer and a not so obvious one. The obvious answer is that they get known
39、 worldwide, particularly if they are the principal sponsor of an event. This is especially important when you consider the number of countries around the world that might show the event on TV. The not so obvious answer is that sponsorship can help firms to save money.Then how can they save money in
40、this way? Companies can claim expenditures on sponsorship or “support to sport and the arts“ against the amount of tax that they owe. So, if they are going to have to pay tax anyway, why not spend the money on promoting their name or product?However, sponsorship is surely a very expensive business.
41、So, how does one decide which events or activities to support? Companies spend a lot of time making sure that they have a perfect match between the products to be represented and the activity that needs sponsorship. Basically, companies have to make sure that the image is right and that the product
42、gets maximum coverage through the event. I mean, you wouldnt expect a company whose product has a young international image to sponsor a sport that has a following among older people. There are all sorts of reasons behind sponsorship. Thats what the games about for those who are trying to sell it.Th
43、ere are some important points to consider before agreeing to sponsor an event. First and foremost, I suppose, is the popularity of the event - in global terms, I mean. Events like the World Cup and the Olympics have businesses queuing up to offer sponsorship. There are the big media events, hours an
44、d hours of TV and satellite coverage guaranteed all over the world, as well as press coverage and the possibility of photo- graphs that in some way advertise your product. Most events arent quite like that, though. I suppose youve got the national games every four years in China. But most events app
45、eal to only a limited proportion of the potential audience - tennis, for example. Most of the audience there is young, so products for the young are the ones that you would associate with the event.Then how do you match up the product with the event? The most important thing with the smaller event i
46、s to identify the audience its going to appeal to - in this instance, tennis and young people. That should at-tract drinks manufacturers, sports fashion designers, cosmetics producers, and so on. Then you look at the potential coverage in the media. Its the sort of event that might attract Coca-Cola
47、 or Pepsi - maybe even McDonalds.In sponsoring sports events, it is not just the media coverage that matters. The important question is whether the people whove either been to the event or read about it in the press will be more likely to buy your product as a result. A lot of the advantages of investment in sponsorship are longer-term. People who have possibly read about or watched an event on TV may not
