Benefits Of Sponsoring
VicBeach volleyball events and activities attract hundreds of competitors each
week, as well as thousands of passing spectators.
During the Summer 2013 season we had ~7,000 unique beach volleyball visits and
an estimated 750,000 passers-by!
That’s a lot of “eyeballs” on our fit, fab and fantastic community of beach
volleyball players, supporters and sponsor partner brands.
Branding exposure on the beach for sponsor partners is (at own cost3
and) in the
form of:
- windbreak banners & teardrop flags
- signage on vehicles
- post pads (subject to final design)
- marquees
VicBeach actively promotes the sport of volleyball and its sponsor partners off the
court, online and across social media too via:
- www.vicbeach.com.au website that attracts more than 1.5m hits per annum
- E-newsletter distributed to 2,500 subscribers each month.
- Facebook group with over 1,250 active and engaged members and a
@VicBeachVolley twitter account with 350+ followers.
- Branded apparel + collateral prepared and distributed with sponsor partner
logos.

With your help we will make Summer 2014 the best ever:

very best players in Victoria to compete at every event.
- Ensuring consistent product prizes for players in all rankings and social
