Your business could sponsor a ball diamond at new Northeast recreation complex
By
Mark Schadenberg
Every
business wants their name associated with an excellent product.
In
Woodstock, it’s easy as your business could be a sponsor of a municipal event,
building, park or certainly even the rink boards at the community complex.
Woodstock
events like Cowapolooza, Victoria Day, Canada Day and most certainly Woodstock
Day at Rogers Centre (Blue Jays vs Rays on April 29) become even more successful
with sponsorship. Events and facilities are greatly subsidized to become a
reality. Your business could sponsor a bus on the trek to Rogers Centre. Arenas
and swimming pools operate at an annual deficit, but if you attach your name to
a facility – everyone wins.
An
ideal advertising vehicle would be the What’s On Woodstock (WOW) magazine as I’m
sure most people keep their copy handy for a few weeks after it’s available as
it lists all happenings at the museum, art gallery, library, swimming pools,
skating rinks, and is also an excellent update on city events, but also recycling
and transportation (Para Transit and buses).

Anyone
who has just spent the last 7 months at the arena for hockey or figure skating
will realize that board advertising is great awareness.
As
the story in the most recent What’s On Woodstock (WOW) states, a major focus now
is on obtaining sponsorship dollars for the new Northeast recreation complex. I’ve
been chair of the recreation advisory committee for a few years and the new
park with three ball diamonds, a concession stand, splash pad and playground
equipment is a very exciting addition to the city on the east end of Devonshire.
This sports complex will be a busy site.
I
would point out that -- in my opinion -- the best example of an overwhelmingly successful
sponsorship program has been the city’s public skating sessions. Many of this
past fall / winter / spring skating sessions at both arenas were free for the
public and this was made possible by dentists, service clubs, construction companies,
coffee shops, electricians, lumber companies, fitness clubs, and even the Woodstock
firefighters association.
Contact
Emma Vondervoort today if you seek more details on advertising and marketing
within the City of Woodstock.
You
or your company could attach their name to a children’s program at the library,
help pay for public swimming at the Southside Aquatic Centre, or make a
significant contribution to the Northeast complex by sponsoring one of the
diamonds.
Read
the story in WOW.
I
should add that it is not possible to advertise on a Zamboni in Woodstock as
Vondervoort suggests because the arena employees will be quick to point out
that Woodstock buys only Olympia ice cleaning machines.
One
more great example of connecting your business with Woodstock for an event is
Dee Lights bakery and their annual Canada Day contribution of red-and-white cakes
or cupcakes
As
a Woodstock Realtor, I love this community and Oxford County.
