Hi all,

I designed and administrate a website for a sports league in munster. We currently average just over 1200 page views per day. The committee running the league has asked me to see if I can get a company to sponsor the upkeep of the website, the audience is quite targetted and covers a large area.

My question is:
1. Who should I approach for sponsorship? Sports related companies or large local companies, car dealers etc. ?
2. How should I approach them ? Via email, direct mail, telephone ?
3. how much can i expect to make say for a season sponsorship (1 year)
I have see figures quoting c. €5 per 1,000 impressions
4. Should I look at google adsense or doubleclick ads instead ?

Any help would be gratefull appreciated.

PM me a link to the website - i'll come up with some suggestions if you like.

What would you want the sponsorship to cover?

Basically the league has a main sponsor covering all the league both adult and youths. I would like a "website" sponsor, who would have a banner across the top of all pages, perhaps including a page listing all about sponsor and/or products and services

Is the main sponsor aware that their sponsorship is not covering the website?

Yes as their contract covering sponsorship for 3 years was signed before the website was constructed or even thought up

Presume you've thought of this... but they would be interested in sponsoring it aswell?

Hi
did this my self in the last year for a sports site
could you pm the link to me

Why not put up adsense in the meantime, it won't make a fortune, but it is easy to set up.
