Sponsorship

So the Maggie Island Outrigger club is thinking of buying a new canoe. They are not the cheapest things in the world though. So today I have been to the Port of Townsville Website to find out about sponsorship to buy a canoe. Aperently they were going to buy the naming rights for one of the rowing boats a year ago for about $10000. Mirages cost about $13 000 this is a bit of a difference. There is also difference in What the Port would get out of it. The nameing rights would have allowed the port to name the boat in small black letters about 5cm big on one side of the bow of the rowing boat. Buying a Mirage on the otherhand buys a full colour spread down the side of the canoe that would have the port name and logo. The other thing is that the canoe will spend alot of it's life down on the Strand, one of the most popular places in town. thousands of people would be walking by it each day. Seeing that the Port helps local sporting clubs.
Well that sounds like a good speal to put to the port. Hope fully it will convince them to help us with a canoe. If anyone has any ideas about how to sell this a bit better then leave a comment. I'm open to all suggestions.
