subject: Golf Sponsor Signs That Reward The Sponsor [print this page] Golf sponsors are what make most golf tournaments happen. Though the organization committee is crucial they can only do so much and few can afford to shoulder the entire cost of a golf tournament. However with golf sponsor signs sold to businesses, the cost becomes more reasonable since businesses are donating funds to a cause they believe in and the tournament becomes possible.
The most commonly used signs for golf sponsors, are small black and white printed cards lacking any trace of individuality. These small signs were only notable because of the fact they are so forgettable. While these inconspicuous signs are certainly discrete, they have always seemed a poor way to thank a business for their financial support.
Most supporters of golf tournaments would gladly donate more in order to have a more unique sponsor sign available to them. The sponsor signs are sold so that the very expensive costs to holding a tournament can be spread around. The signs though might actually be sold for more if they were individualized and the organizers could increase donations and business loyalty with one change.
With new technology, more printing and sign companies and a greater access to all of it online the choices for sponsor hole signs are almost unlimited. A card could actually be printed on paper inserted into a plastic sleeve and be a duplicate of the current logo and colors of that sponsor for the hole. The signs can be put away for next year and the extra cost defrayed by raising the sponsor hole sign prices a little more.
Businesses which are sponsor golf tournaments regularly may order their own custom sponsor signs. While this might be acceptable with some tournament organizers, others may have problems with it. On the other hand, a tournament might actually increase their sponsorship by offering signs that were customized at a higher price in order to defray the increased cost of these signs.
A golf tournament is normally an event, which holds to the highest standards in what is considered tasteful. While a stock car racetrack might be lined with brightly colored billboards that screamed out the sponsor name, a golf tournament usually has discrete and easily overlooked sponsor names. Discretion is excellent and good taste important, and both can be served with a custom sponsor sign.
While traditional golf signs for sponsors serve a purpose, custom signs may serve the purpose much better. In return for a more memorable thank you sign beside the hole the sponsor donates more money to the tournament or cause. In that scenario, both the organizers and the sponsor are winners.
