This programme is new for 2008 and offers both local and national brands the opportunity of secondary level partnership activity with the current World Club Champions.

Partners will receive season long recognition and brand awareness via programme advertising and perimeter board advertising alongside a presence on the Club’s official website.

There will also be an opportunity for you to engage with our supporter base on two occasions during the course of the season, as each partner will be allocated specific matchdays on which to showcase your brand.

One of these games will be a category ‘A’ fixture (Wigan, Leeds, Bradford or Warrington) and as such it is likely that your brand will reach not only supporters in the stadium but also a nationwide television audience, via Sky Sports.

The other matchday fixture will provide an opportunity to work at a community level. It includes 200 tickets to distribute to customers, to drive business from Saints supporters directly to your door in the run up to the matchday, or to local community groups to raise your profi le in the St Helens and wider Merseyside region.

Both matchdays include the opportunity to sample your product to supporters, first class hospitality to entertain clients or use as promotional incentives for staff or customers, as well as further brand awareness with additional programme and perimeter board advertising. Your company name will also appear on the scoreboard, match tickets and you will receive regular acknowledgements on the public address system in the stadium.

All of our ‘Official Partners’ will also receive invitations to our marquee events; the Pre-season Gala dinner in January and Saints End of Season Awards dinner in September.

Saints have a marketing team dedicated to activating our partnerships packages during 2008 to ensure that all of our partners receive the best possible return on investment.
