Serving the community
NovoLogic and its Anytime family of service offerings, has a very committed level of interaction with
community groups, events and community programs. Through this commitment, we serve the
community by providing applications that facilitate the sharing of information, and access to managed
systems and services, thereby enabling those associations to focus on their missions and not on the
administrative efforts surrounding them
We believe the products and services we provide should be aimed at promoting the development and
growth of the communities we support. As a result, we have a goal to assist in a vision of being able to
create a world where participation in events by youth are done for free.
By providing a system where local business can sponsor these associations through localized marketing
programs, we have created a program that benefits the sponsor with real and measurable revenue
generation streams while simultaneously providing ongoing revenue streams for the associations.
Turning our vision into reality.

What is sponsorship?
Sponsorship is the underwriting of a special event, cause or
group that support corporate objectives by enhancing the
corporate image, increasing awareness of brands, or directly
stimulating sales of products and services.

Why sponsorship works
Researchers have viewed sponsorship as a powerful yet indirect form of
persuasion (Crimmins and Horn 1996) that delivers messages in the form of
associations between a sponsor and a sponsored entity to the mind of a consumer
(Keller 2003).
The image of sport makes it a popular target of sponsorship. It is generally seen
as a healthy and honest activity, important in the development of an individual in
our competitive society.

Why sponsorship works
In sponsorship research, Madrigal (2000; 2001) conceptualizes social identification as a
consumer’s emotional connection or attachment to a sponsored property. When a person
identifies him/herself with a certain group, a sense of connectedness with the group is
generated (Mael and Ashforth 1992).
According to Turner (1984), sharing the same social identity results in a psychological group
with a common mentality, thus, creating loyal citizens within the group.
Madrigal (2000; 2001) demonstrated that higher levels of team identification among the
attendants of a sporting event appear to be positively related to intentions to purchase a
sponsor’s products.

Why sponsorship works
Sponsorship is a means of persuasion, but sponsorship does
not try to change perceptions of the brand in a frontal
assault. According to Crimmins and Horn (1996),
Sponsorship improves the perception of a brand by flanking
our beliefs about the brand and linking the brand to an event
or organization that the target audience already values
highly.

How sponsorship works
• mere-exposure effect
The basic idea of the mere-exposure effect is that, when
objects are presented to the individual on repeated
occasions, the mere exposure is capable of making the
individual’s attitude toward these objects more positive
(Zajonc and Markus1982).
10. …while promoting your business
How sponsorship works
• balance theory
suggests three elements linked in a triangular relation: the
sponsor, the event, and the consumer. If the consumer
has a preexisting positive sentiment toward the event, it is
likely the consumer will form a positive attitude toward the
sponsor. This occurs because humans are motivated to
achieve a balanced state, and it would be unbalanced to
have a positively valued element linked to a negatively
valued element.

• signal theory
consumers perceive the value of sponsorship as a
credible signal of a corporate position. The very fact of
undertaking sponsorship is itself likely to transfer values
such as size, status and security. Sponsorship can serve
as a credible signal of consumers’ perceptions of product
quality, financial stability

How sponsorship works
• attribution theory
consumers care about and respond to the motives of
sponsors in cause-related marketing campaigns.
attribution theory would posit that consumers cognitively
infer a motive for the sponsorship behavior; an altruistic
motive attribution could provide the foundation for positive
belief, image and attitude toward sponsors
