Tony Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not on their shirts, so don't get to excited.... We will be in every program booklet, on some of the match boards and the official website. We also have the right to use the clubs logo and have a quarterly article/ write ups with the players at the centre. In addition we get one of those box things you hold commercial gatherings at the matches...... As you may guess i'm not exactly football mad but it is a privilege to be invited by Watford football club for this high visibility association Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Literally a phone call from the director of advertising saying they had seen our adverts in the Herts magazines so they checked us out and found our level of professionalism within our industry is an association they would endorse. Don't get me wrong mate they want some serious money for the privilege but the rewards if only by association are huge. Next week the Director is coming to the centre for a nose around and to take photos for the advertising, and the week after one of the players will be down for a photo shoot and an article for the clubs mag and the local mags will be there..... Busy life isn't it. Since i absolutely hate football, you can have my place in the box mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 The director is down Weds..... As for the players you are correct, we will be their recommended place for tyres, geo and all that stuff, comical thing is if all the players came down i wouldn't recognise anyone... Footie is not my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 You know what, some years ago i sat and talked to a university lecturer of business developments and we mapped wim's "market to map". Basically this projects wims position in the saturated automotive industry, a 0.01% market share is quite a sum nationally and on paper i held a high percentage. It was this that finally made me make the move from STS and i was there 25yrs. Having the "corporate handcuffs" removed has allowed me to do things the "wim way", for staff/ customers and invade the industry in an almost rude way. Fast fit has never had it so bad!! I'm not paying for the advert, it's in the wrong place and gives the wrong message. The one printed was sent for approval not print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 The club brought a club vest signed by the players to the centre today for a photo shoot, so in the next program my ugly mug and the rest of the crew will be there. Here's the presentation shirt Signed by the players.... seemingly one's signed in Arabic I'll display the actual images when they send them for proofing.

Local and national visibility... You need to be reasonably strong to take on this sort of commitment by sponsoring a major league team like WFC.
