Negotiating, Drafting, And Implementing Naming Rights Agreements

by

I. INTRODUCTION

Naming rights deals involving high profile sports venues are big league marketing plays involving complex negotiations culminating in detailed, lengthy contracts and multimillion-­dollar investments. When a venue owner trying to sell naming rights for a ballpark, stadium, or arena approaches a client, the responsibility of the client????s counsel includes discussing marketing strategy with the client and learning as much as possible about the client????s target customer demographics and how the client makes marketing decisions. If the client markets goods and services to consumers, it may benefit from the name recognition and exposure that a stadium naming deal can provide. If the client is accustomed to investing only in direct mail, newspaper, and radio advertising that includes some means of measuring response rates, it may not be interested in naming rights;; however, that alone is not a compelling reason to reject a naming rights proposal.

The Effectiveness Of Sports Sponsorships: A Study Of The New Orleans Zephyrs

by

ABSTRACT

Despite the pervasiveness of sports in American society and the ever-increasing role of sponsorship in the marketing mix, sponsorship marketing as a discipline currently lacks the rigorous academic study and theoretical foundations that exist in other marketing disciplines.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not sponsorship of New Orleans Zephyrs baseball is an effective way of increasing awareness of a product or brand. Using intermediate measures of recognition testing, fans at three New Orleans Zephyrs games were surveyed to test sponsor recognition. The study examined various elements of sponsorship marketing including the effects that gender, age, income, education and attendance frequency had on sponsorship recognition. Additionally, fans were asked if they consciously looked for sponsor messages at games and where they most noticed the messages. Lastly, respondents were asked if they would use a Zephyrs sponsor’s product over a non-sponsor’s product given the same price and quality.
