Sponsorships and Advertising Opportunities
Thank you for your sponsorship interest in the 2010 Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament featuring the 127th National Horse Show. The event this year is scheduled from November 2nd through November 7th and includes an extra day of competition—an increase in exposure for your investment. Our dedicated group of horsemen and women has a simple goal—to improve and showcase the sport of show jumping in the United States by providing premium value to corporate sponsors, fans, and athletes. We fully understand and appreciate the competition for sponsorship dollars. A relationship with our tournament provides the exposure, the advertising impact and the enjoyment of being a significant part of this exciting world-class competition and high profile sporting event in Syracuse—a great return on investment.
This November, the world’s finest show jumping athletes and their mounts will be in attendance along with 18,000 spectators making the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament a major stop on the eleven-month show jumping tour. Significant world-wide exposure occurs from our live-stream webcast. The 2009 Tournament experienced 41,953 plays of our competitions with an average viewing time of 37 minutes. Those figures represent a 64% increase in plays and a 16% increase viewing time over the 2008 Tournament. And we expect 2010 to be even more successful.
The city of Syracuse is a perfect host. A superior infrastructure and unbridled enthusiasm for the event helped build the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament into a source of pride and inspiration for the entire Central New York area. Your company or organization will experience a significant benefit from the location and the continued support.
Sponsorship benefits can range from a company or individual name listing in our program to inclusion in the Tournament’s advertising campaigns; from broadcast-friendly billboards in the competition arena to national broadcast exposure. These levels and arrangements are a template of the complete package we create to meet the marketing goals and objectives of your company or organization. We encourage creative “out of the box” thinking and work to gain your trust so that our relationship grows as the Syracuse Invitational grows. 80 % of our sponsors renew for multiple years and several have been with us from the beginning. Your sponsorship would join the prestigious list of previous sponsors such as Budweiser, Animal Planet, CN, Purina Mills, Adequan and Ariat. And don’t forget that the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament is a not-for-profit, 501 (c) (3) Organization, and that your sponsorship is tax deductible.
