Why Partner With Pro Sports / Spotted Moose?

It’s all about loyalty.  Participants in sports or cultural events recognize the value to loyalty to a team.  They respect those who support their passions and transfer that loyalty to brands who provide partnership and sponsorship. We have a large following on social media and a large following at our events.

What is the Reach of Pro Sports / Spotted Moose?

You can have the best product, the best advertisement, and the best slogan, but if your product does not reach your consumer group, the brand gets lost.  Our reach is based on hard numbers over the past decade.  We can make contact with the consumers of your product and services through active participants, mainstream media, social media, posters, player trading cards, television, and more.  We “festivalize” everything we do to create a wow factor.  This increases our participation numbers.  Here is our reach for 2020 through various events.

How Does a Partner Re-Coup Their Sponsorship Dollars?

We believe heavily in the festival-i-zation of events.  This means we take a routine event such as a tournament and dial it up.  First and foremost, we make the tournament first rate and then we also integrate opening ceremonies, celebrity matches, beer gardens, player trading cards, live entertainment, closing banquets, and more.  We make it the people-place to be.  This brings the crowds and extends our reach making it a great opportunity for sponsors to promote their brands.  Many sponsors employ these strategies to attract new consumers:

• Brand Awareness - get your logo on posters, uniforms, signage, dressing room doors, banners for photo opportunities, sports equipment and more.
• Brand Ambassadors - have spokes-people on-site to talk about and promote your product.  Make the consumers aware of what you offer.
• Brand Auditions/Sampling - have your product available for testing.  How does it taste, smell, run, jump?  Let people try it out!
• Brand Sales - sell your product on site.
• Brand Contests - have samples for folks to determine if they like product A or product B in your line?
• Brand Promotional Items - give away pen’s with your company logo attached
• Brand Mascots - create a mascot of your product for fun at the event.  This is great for photo opportunities and drawing attention to your brand.
  

If you need help with any of these directions, we are happy to provide assistance with acquiring any of these marketing devices or services.
We have found that in many cases, companies that market their product with precision and purpose at our events, can re-coup their investment within 30 days.  Then, each additional sale to these loyal customers for the decades to follow is pure profit.  Sponsorship at the right event is an investment that can yield a very positive return.
Sample Sponsorship 2019 - Pre Covid (Events have been closed for two years but are coming back in a big way)

The "Rage in a Cage" Dodge Ball Festival 2019 ran on the civic holiday in August.  This event is combined with the Summer in the Park Festival and Downtown North Bay Heritage Day Weekend Festival.   Rage in a Cage was a dodge ball tournament happening on Main street.  It  catered to a demographic ranging in age from 10 to 60.  The principle demographic will was 21 to 35 yrs.  The event attracted up to 8,000 people on-site including players and walk-thru traffic.  It is also garnered attention from the mainstream media along with extensive coverage in the social media's which yielded over 75,000 impressions.

The advantages to sponsoring an event like the Rage in the Cage is that your brand becomes associated with a trending and popular sport.  Dodgeball is unique in that everyone has played and enjoyed it at one time or another. It's quirkiness gives it a very special popularity and this sport is on the rise.  Every Pro Sports dodgeball event has a very strong element of "fun" attached.  It is a very positive environment. We also do crazy rentals like bubble soccer and archery tag as well as Nerf battles. Our Amazing Game Show is a fun based event run with players in a social situation. Pro Sports will get your name known with a vibrant crowd of fun loving people of all agers.

Our National Dodgeball Festival is advertised all over the world. It is listed as an official tournament of the World Dodgeball Association. It hosts over 1200 athletes over three days and has literally millions of impressions on social media. Over 185 teams from multiple countries and all over Canada attend this event.
