Free Sponsorship With The Oakland Athletics

OAKLAND, Calif. - May 28, 2014 - PRLog -- The very first USA Startup Week is coming to Oakland, this Friday, 30^th May, 2014.

Instant Sponsor, in association with the Oakland Athletics, Major League Baseball team, are helping startup companies with sports sponsorship.

Normally companies who are only 12-36 months old wouldn't be able to afford sponsorship at a MLB game, but Instant Sponsor has come up with a very innovative method to allow these companies to break into the sports sponsorship market.

Instant Sponsor is buying the signage and then they are giving away a half inning home plate for free.

Completely free!

They will then take a percentage of sales made from the success of the sponsorship.

"It's an incredible model. There is absolutely no way we could afford to advertise with such a powerhouse as the Oakland A's, but Instant Sponsor has made it very accessible for us", said Amy Paris, CEO, Licks Pill Free (America's fastest growing all natural supplement company for dogs and cats).

"We are more than happy to give Instant Sponsor a percentage of the sales which are generated. The branding and exposure, alone, will be enormous and we are very excited to see the results", Paris concluded.

Instant Sponsor has done this type of sponsorship in the past and the results from just four minutes of television airtime were:

•    22,000 new followers on twitter

•    1,000 new business enquiries

•    5,000 new hits to the website

"Quite simply, I know that sports sponsorship works and I am really excited to enable these startup companies to grow their brand. Instant Sponsor is still in the start up phase as well, but our initial sponsorship with the Oakland Athletics a few months ago significantly fueled our business growth", said Anthony Puntoriero, CEO Instant Sponsor.

Another company involved in USA Startup Week is ‘Handybook’. Handybook is the easiest way to book quality-vetted home service professionals like maids and handymen online. "This innovative concept by Instant Sponsor is our first foray into sports marketing and we can't wait to be associated with the Athletics", said Travis Tharp, Director, Handybook.

Instant Sponsor is changing the world of sports sponsorship with this new model.
