How to Participate

Sponsor Bank

Below is a description of the basic programs for sponsors

1. Coupon and Voucher Programs

Make coupons and/or vouchers available to teams for purchase of your products at a discount.  A team or athlete can sport your logos in return for a specific dollar amount or you can simply allow athletes and teams to purchase the coupons or vouchers for discounted product or service purchases.  Simply indicate that you would like to make coupons or vouchers available and we will create a program for you.

2. Associate Programs

Associate sponsorship in return for dollar investment or equivalent product/service trade. A team or athlete declares its need of affiliate sponsors and designates the size of the logo they will place on race car, uniform or other areas.  They can negotiate whatever price for dollar investments and/or product trade or purchase discounts.

3. Secondary/Primary Programs

Secondary or primary sponsorship in return for dollar investment or equivalent product/service trade.  A team or athlete can negotiate the sponsorship services that are available and pay only for the services desired in return for secondary or primary sponsorship.  Services can include hospitality, promotional programs, tickets, autograph and trade show attendance, etc.

Or you can donate a specific dollar amount for secondary and primary sponsorships and designate the sports in which you'd like to participate.  We will search for the best teams and negotiate terms with you.  You have the right of acceptance and refusal.  All funds are paid through NCMC.

4. Donation Programs

If you are interested in donating your equipment or products to designated teams in specific markets, we will allow teams in those markets to apply for these donations.  You have the right of acceptance or refusal.

5. Affiliate Programs

If you have an affiliate program that pays commissions to teams that place your affiliate link on their website, we can set up a program that will enable teams to earn these commissions.  Drive traffic to your site through the incredible word of mouth advertising this can generate.  Earn new business from the teams that will also buy from you.  If your product is used by teams, this is a great way to develop product loyalty.

Procedures:

a. Team joins

b. Sponsor joins and signs contract.  Based upon sponsor profile and marketing goals, the sponsor pays retainer of amount they’d like to offer into the program.  All sponsorship payments including discounts and commissions are paid from this retainer.  All amounts are held in escrow until disbursed to a team.  Reports are sent to the sponsor on a regular basis.  Commissions are paid only after a transaction is consummated (for product trade) or a sponsorship is agreed upon by contract.

c. When a new team or sponsor joins, an email is sent to each of the other parties identifying the opportunity – teams that want to apply for the opportunity notify NCMC and pay an application fee

d. If sponsor accepts the application, a contract is developed and both parties sign the contract.

e. NCMC obtains 10% of the contract paid by the sponsor from the retainer. 

f. All dollar payments are made through NCMC.

g. Sponsorship results and activation verified.

h. Only teams that are assured of participating in a full season in their sport are eligible for this program.  Un-sponsored teams can only participate in the Secondary/Primary program.  They are also able to purchase vouchers from sponsors at the sponsors' discretion.

i. Each week all parties receive a report of any new opportunities that have become available during the previous week.

j. Participating teams can designate a limit for each product service trade transaction.
