Rugby plays an important role in our community, and beyond the competition there are values that are shared, modelled and learnt which shape lives, attitudes and aspirations. Many friendships are forged forever as a result of the experiences shared in both victories and losses throughout ones rugby career. There are a range of sponsorship options that can be chosen to support the USC Barbarians.
Why Sponsor?
Sport offers loyalty, entertainment, passion, and reaches out to all demographics, creating an environment with no boundaries. The creation of a relationship between sport and a corporate brand should be beneficial to both parties. Aligning with a sporting team, such as USC Rugby, is an excellent method of increasing brand awareness. Associating your product or service with USC Rugby could have many benefits, including:
- Continuous advertising opportunities
- A fan base that is a ready database to target
- Team supporters and players are loyal, and extend that loyalty to the team sponsors
- Fans offer an extended network through friends and family
- Rugby is an international language, which has an active following. It’s a celebration of the best of humanity
- Sponsor companies can also reinforce awareness among target markets by sponsoring additional events and/or rugby clinics
- In 2020 our senior competition covers a geographical region from Brisbane to Hervey Bay, giving coverage to your brand outside the Sunshine Coast area
- The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) has an enrolment of over 10,000 students. We attend various USC expos throughout the year to promote rugby and include promotion of current sponsors in this process
