It depends on your company, and it's finances...but newspaper ads are pretty efficient and cheap.

Write to their sponsors.

Choose products the fans will actually use and are appropriate for kids to see. Be sure and ask the ad company what type of special events the company (that will be advertising) will sponsor at your stadium for free. Good for them and good for the fans at the stadium.

Start with your family. Their jobs could be a great place for sponsorship. Neighborhood businesses as well. Just get out and network...sell yourself or your squad I should say.

For what are you looking for a sponsor. You should be more specific.

Well, the first thing you should do is ask the owner for their blessing.  Let's face it you are going to have to tie up the parking lot as well as possibly paint lines.  They might not like that.  If you already have permission you need to look at whether you have the proper equipment.  Do you have portable hoops and balls?  You'll need money for officials and scorekeepers.  Do you have money?  Maybe you could get a local sporting goods store or restaurant to sponsor you.  You know if you made it a hoops for charity event you could probably get more sponsors.  You could collect money for entry fees, and donations.  You might be able to get the officials to do it for free.  You could pay off any fees or winners prizes, then donate the rest to charity.  Lots of people might be willing to help.  I know that Outback steakhouse donates food for charity events where I live.  You might be able to get stuff like pizza or subs too.  There are so many possibilities.  Once you get the sponsors you just have to market your event to get people to come out.

You can look up fundraising on the net and find lots of companies that are willing to help you sell their stuff. Also, many direct sales companies, like Avon, have a fundraising catalog you can sell from, giving you a portion of the sales. Of course, there's always the time honored ones like bake sales, brat & hot dog sales, car washes, garage sales, auctions, golf events, walks & rides (for miles traveled), raffles and other such activities. You can put cans out at several businesses, with your particular event listed on the side. Hold a spaghetti, chili, chicken, steak, soup, salad, or other such dinner. I belong to Habitat For Humanity and I'm on the fundraising committee. We're looking for new ideas, because we've done all the above ideas. They're good, but we're always looking for something unique, that will get people's attention. We do something called Shanty Town, where everyone goes around getting pledges to sleep in a cardboard box overnight. They create whatever kind of box they want, decorating it and coming up with themes or whatever. We've turned it into a real festival, with rides and games, music & food. This was our third year and we raised over $12,000...and in a rural community too!. Being creative is important, because there are hundreds of other organizations trying to do the same thing. Hope it all works out for you. <*)))><

You don't want to place an ad...you want free publicity.\n\nCreate a press release and send it to the local papers and radio stations.  Post flyers at all the feed stores, and arenas, in the area, and let all the local horse clubs know. Post flyers at all the churches too!  Post flyers at the vet office, grocery store and anywhere there is a bulletin board.  Have a stack of flyers at the local colleges, and pass them out at other horse events.\n\nContact the Chamber of Commerce in your town and the surrounding communities and let them know about your event.  \n\nLet the local Homemakers Club as well as the FFA and 4-H kids know too.  They may be willing to help out for FREE, and the ladies would make supper and give you a part of the proceeds.

try local grocery stores or restraunts. They will often sponsor a team!

First of all, you have to apply to whichever tennis brand companies you want to be sponsored by. Then after that they'll review it then see if you meet their critieria. If so then they'll let you know in the mail or whatever kind of media they choose. Most of the time, you  just march right in their and say "BeeP!" I'm a freaking good tennis player so give me a sponsor so I can endorse your company! hahaha. Just stick to applying. It's like a tax break or something for them.

Ask. Find a company that has some sort of connection to the sport or team. Think sponsorship as advertisment, you have to offer something to the compaany and it needs to show some sort of results. Lets say a company has the option of sponsoring your team or running a local radio commercial, you need to make your option a better option, have better results, etc...\n I have raced RC cars for a LOT of years and have been sponsored by several companies. When I get spnosored I try to think of myself as an employee of said company and my goal is to do whatever it takes to make the company money.\n One thing that DOES work is to start out small, look for local companies and ask if they will sponsoer you for a small discount on services or goods. Heck ask if you can use them as a sponsor even if they DON'T offer you anything. The more sponsors you can put down on a "resume" the better it will look to futre sponsors.\n I think the most important thing to do though is ASK, the worst they can say is no, and you never know who might say yes?

I suggest you read the article "How to Start an Event and Meeting Planning Business"   http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol153/eventplanning.htm . The article is comprehensive and contains information on the market segments of this business, how to market and get clients for an event planning business, and the key success factors of this business.\n\nAdvertising is not the best way to get clients for an event planning business, but rather more as a branding and to get your name out there. Rather, networking and word of mouth are the most effective ways of getting clients. \n\nThe first step, however, is to determine your market segment. Will you go after the social market, corporate market, non profits, regional markets, etc? Given that each market segment has different needs, your marketing strategy will vary depending on the market segment that you cater. \n\nIf you are focusing on social events catering to individuals, your pitch may be based on the premise that your services can release them from all the tasks required to create a great and worry-free event. By outsourcing the event to you, your customers can have more free time for their family and friends. \n\nWhen marketing to public or private organizations, your main selling point should be greater efficiency for the money and a professional event without error. Groups, especially large ones, do not wish to deal with problems that arise due to oversight on their part. If the guarantee of worry-free, error-free events is available at a cost benefit to them, there really appears to be no better choice. \n\nI suggest you check out the following books for detailed information on how to run an event planning business:\n\n- How to Start a Home-Based Event Planning Business \n- The Essential Event Planning Kit \n- The Business of Event Planning: Behind-the-Scenes Secrets of Successful Special Events \n- Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Your Own Event Planning Business : Your Step by Step Guide to Success (Start Your Own Event Planning) \n- Event Planning : The Ultimate Guide to Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special Events

First, try to get the parents of team members to do this for you. Next, anythings your team needs to buy, see if the business will give it to you free or at deep discount. This is a kind of sponsorship. If you need more, look in a business directory, like the Yellow Pages. Start calling on or phoning businesses in the same area as the team. Stress the business advantages they will gain by being sponsors.

You could try going to businesses as "sponsors" but then you have to find a way to publish their names and whatever else they want.
