Business:
Large national brands have become ingrained in professional sports. With fans strong emotional ties to sports, companies know they can score some of the love by sponsoring halftime shows, finish lines, seating sections, spots on the jersey and more.   
  But sports sponsorship isn't just a game for the for the majors. Many savvy small businesses invest in sponsoring local community sports organizations such as Arizona FC. Many consider their sponsorship a charitable contribution and others, a form of advertising. Either way, it's a mutual relationship that pays off for big for the sponsor and the league.

Below are some reasons why businesses should sponsor Arizona FC:

• Increase awareness of the company's products and services. Each sponsorship package has benefits for the sponsor built in: field signage, website advertising, being part of opening or closing day events, recognition on newsletter, company name on uniforms, etc. Through a sponsorship, a company's brand will be in front of the youth sports market of parents, coaches, program organizers, players and fans.

• A welcomed form of advertising. In most settings consumers are inclined to tune out advertising. Although many traditional advertising techniques of reaching consumers are failing, youth sports sponsorships are a positive and engaging way to market a brand. Parents like to see the companies that are supporting local sports and their children.

• Help keep the cost of youth sports programs low. Player participation fees cover the majority of the costs of  youth sports programs but support from sponsors provides additional resources which can help keep participation fees low. With lower fees, more families are able to afford to sign up and that means more children being able to receive the many benefits of youth soccer.

• Outstanding value for the dollars invested. Although sponsorship package costs vary from organization to organization, they commonly range from $100 up to $5,000 or more. When comparing the cost of other marketing outlets like print, television, online and billboard advertising, youth sports sponsorships can be a great value and a smart option to include into the marketing mix.

• Build goodwill. Companies that sponsor youth sports programs make a positive contribution to their community. Overall this can evoke a community wide feeling that a company understands the impact and importance of sports for their youth. This feeling can instill loyalty among a business' current and future patrons.

• Tax incentive. Arizona FC is registered as a nonprofit organization. Businesses can get a tax break for making a charitable donation. That is just another added benefit of sponsoring Arizona FC.

We know $500 from a local company to a youth league goes a long way to offset the rising costs of sports. But what the company may find is that their sponsorship also goes a long way to strengthen the bond between their brand and their community.
