Introduction

Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking the time in showing a keen interest in a local sports team such as ourselves. As you may already know sponsorships are key in helping grass roots clubs like ourselves in covering the increasing costs of the day to day running of the club. 

Should you decide to come onboard please be assured that being a sponsor is by no means a one-sided deal. In return Caerleon Town can offer your profile/brand a vast range of exposure opportunities. These opportunities will not only increase your profile/brand online but will almost certainly increase your businesses overall footfall throughout the course of the sponsorship agreement.

We are currently in the latter stages of negotiations with a highly respected local Rugby Club with a view of agreeing an initial Tenancy agreement. We are hoping to make the announcement official through various media channels, including the South Wales Argus, in the next month or so. This exciting link up will give our club its own pitch and new clubhouse which we are very much looking forward to enjoying. It will also help the club make the next step in achieving higher league football and ultimately expanding the football family to include Youth and Ladies teams. 

What does this news mean to you? Well, the scope for advertising increases massively as part of the agreement we are negotiating is the potential for our sponsors to be displayed around the rugby pitches on match days as well as in the clubhouse. Add to that the exposure to increased numbers of players, staff and volunteers from both rugby and football teams it certainly becomes a more appealing proposition. The potential and scope is truly remarkable. 

Kit Sponsorship Package

Advertising through the medium of sport is always an excellent opportunity to get your company name recognised and talked about within the local community. And one of the most popular ways of sponsoring is to have your company name/logo, which can be uniquely designed if required, placed onto the centre of our shirts, which will be visible for all matches, both home and away every week. 
Your company information will not only be seen by our players, officials and supporters but also by those from visiting teams and match officials. Plus, as mentioned above, the additional footfall from those that attend the rugby matches that will be played alongside our home games will be a welcome bonus. 

Please note that ALL HOME Fixtures will feature your logo on our kits. However, certain away fixtures are subject to opponents’ colours not clashing so a change of kit may be required. 

More Benefits of being our main kit sponsor…. 
There are a wide range of extra benefits with being our main kit sponsor. Benefits include FREE advertising on our website. Your brand will be plastered all over our website guaranteeing your company maximum exposure. Your company will also feature on our home page banners on twitter & Facebook. Not only that but your brand will also be featured on our match day photos which will also be published on our website, Facebook and Twitter. And quite often they will also appear on our opponents websites and social media outlets, again gaining your company that added exposure.

FREE Online Advertising… 
As our main kit sponsor you will also have the advantage of our online advertising packages which includes main page advertising in more than 3 separate locations as well as being advertised on our headers and footers on our websites which are all linked up to your companies very own website for increased web traffic. Our ads are fully Search Engine Optimized (SEO) which means your ads will appear on over 60 search engines such as Google® Yahoo® & Bing®. For more information please see our advertising section. 

Main Kit Sponsorship cost £650 per Kit for one season this features all the above benefits.

Club Sponsorship

Not to get confused with a kit sponsorship, a Club sponsorship has all the rewards and exposure of a kit sponsorship but with added benefits that include your company name/logo being printed on the back of every club tracksuit and polo shirt that every player and staff must wear on all occasions associated with Caerleon Town AFC. This includes training sessions, pre/post-match days whilst not on the pitch, presentations, league meetings, Club meetings, team meetings, and AGM meetings. 
Not only that but most of our players enjoy wearing the tracksuits and polo shirts in their free time expanding the Geographic’s for people seeing your brand. Managers, Coaches and Staff will also be wearing this clothing on all these occasions. This branded sportswear will be available to all club members. Your company information will not only be seen by our players, officials and supporters but also by those of visiting teams and match officials. Plus, as mentioned above, the additional footfall from those that attend the rugby matches that will be played alongside our home games will be a welcome bonus.. 
A Club sponsorship is our most expensive option, but it does guarantee your company maximum exposure. Becoming a club sponsor is the ultimate form of advertising as the estimated audience within the local and surrounding communities is limitless.

Online Advertising Only Options

Our Advertising Space Online offers an excellent opportunity to branch out and promote your company/business/organization to our viewers on a local, national and global level. Your online advert will be featured on both of our website with external links to your own website if applicable. 

Club Website Statistics: 
We currently have on average 3000 unique visitors per month and approximately 800 visitors per week. We have approximately 100 visitors each weekday and around 400 visitors on the weekends. Last year we saw 37,000 unique visitors to our website, with each person loading 4.7 internal web pages on to our club website. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/caerleontownafc 

Add to this all our followers and supporters on both Twitter and Facebook, it soon adds up. On a regular basis we will also Tweet/share via Facebook links to promote your business, providing maximum potential for new and existing customers. 
This form of advertising also includes hyperlinks linking our website ads to yours and so directing potential customers away from our site to yours increasing both your web traffic and exposure. 

This advertising plan is currently favoured by several local businesses who have seen some unprecedented improvements in their own social media presence which in turn leads to business being expanded over a larger front. 
We would be happy to accept a month by month payment plan of £20 per month direct into our Club Bank Account if you prefer but there are obvious savings to be had for paying in 3, 6 or 12 month blocks as follows:

Sponsoring Caerleon Town has been such great pleasure not only did I sponsor them for the 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 Seasons but I have also renewed my sponsorship agreement with them again for the up and coming 2018/19 season. 
Sponsoring Caerleon Town has greatly improved my brand exposure and I would recommend this partnership to anyone looking to expand their public profile.

I was introduced to Caerleon Town through another company who told me of all the benefits that came with sponsoring a football team such as Caerleon Town I did originally try to sponsor the first team but another company got there before me so I was very pleased to hear that they will be having two teams this season and I quickly took the opportunity to sponsor there second side. 
Julie also did a joint sponsor ship for the 2018/19 season with Richard Andrews Architects.
