Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
Lily Simmons is a Cardiff City u16s player, touted by her coaches to go on to the Cardiff City senior team and beyond - England pathway coaches have her on the players to watch and have been to 2 games in the last year to monitor her progress. She has also just been asked to play for the Cardiff City under u19 side, which is impressive given her age.
Lily started her football at Ashton girls playing as a striker and finishing top scorer there, realising she needed to be challenged she moved on.
Bitton FC, who were regarded as the best girls team in the South West. Lily was able to play her favoured right-wing position and after 3 seasons playing in the junior Premier league against teams such as Leicester, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Manchester City, Lily was then noticed by Bristol Rovers, who invited her to train with the ladies first team at just 14 years of age. Later in the year lily was approached to train at Cardiff city on a 2-week trial, they signed her after the first session.
We are hoping to secure a sponsorship of £500 per annum, this would contribute towards the cost of travel to training sessions and match days. Lily resides in Bristol and is commuting around 250 miles per week. The sponsorship would also contribute toward boots, shin pads, physio, along with gym and training equipment. We are hoping to also spend money on paid advertisement across social media platforms to gain even more exposure for Lily.
In return for sponsorship, we will share business posts on his personal social media platform, three times a week (3000 followers) - Lilys personal football instagram account has over 4500 followers, which as mentioned above, is continuously growing. Your business posts will be shared three times a week on this page also. You will also be sent Matchday and training photos for marketing use, in my experience the money we have spent on sponsorship has been great even just for the content we now have to post alone, that’s without the brand recognition and the handful of decent enquiries we receive from it. Lily is also happy to wear branded clothing on match or training days, and there will be an opportunity for yourself or your company to be invited down to games.
With women's football on the rise this is a great opportunity to get involved with a young prospect, as a thank you for investing in her at this stage, Ross would be happy to continue to same arrangement at the same cost year on year, so if Lily was playing for Cardiff City women's (selected games are held in the Cardiff City Stadium) or the England squad, the cost to sponsor Lily would stay the same going forward, regardless if other sponsors are paying much more.
