Primary Sponsor

ACON is the primary sponsor of Freezone Volleyball Inc and it is imperitive that we maintain the relationship and promotion of the ACON message and campaigns to all levels of the club including tournaments, hosted events and social engagements.

They donate $2000 to the club annually. In exchange we promote all ACON events, encouraging participation from club members at promotions and even attending events that benefit ACON with a visible Freezone presence.

We also advocate the messages and campaigns of ACON at all events and tournaments, ensuring photo opportunities, branding exposure and indications of the Safe Sex message via the ACON TOOLBOX.

Events that are important to support:

ACON TRADIES

BINGAY at the Midnight Shift

Campaign launches

Any events that require a ‘crowd’. We are the rent-a-crowd.

The main contact for ACON is Gavin Prendergast.

An example of the pitch to sponors:

Moving forward, we now are looking to move the Teamm8 sponsorship into it's 2nd phase, of being Tournament Sponsor for Freezone Volleuball for 2014/15.

Our September Tournament is fast approaching and we are ready to host 150+ participants at Homebush on September 20th. We would love to get the Teamm8 branding out there in force on the day.

If you had any promotional posters/banners in stock that may be appropriate for the day, this will help on-sell your sponsorship and promote your branding to our participants and their supporters who are coming in from all over Australia, I can arrange collection and drop off if you have anything to hand. This will be alongside our primary sponsors ACON, who also enjoy prime spot on our tournament promotions.

As per our discussion, we would like to promote Teamm8 via our tournament raffle, so it would be great to discuss any 'prize packs' you will be able to provide on the day.

I am now back in Sydney and available to pop by whenever it's convenient to discuss options, collect products and get you some extra business. Wednesdays and Sundays are great days for me to be able to do this.
