A club can offer a sponsor access to a defined local community only through the assets it actually controls. Before listing anything, distinguish between club-owned communications, venue-controlled spaces, member information, and event-specific inventory. This avoids selling a benefit that another party must approve.
Club inventory to consider
| Asset | Possible deliverable | Necessary detail |
|---|---|---|
| Club website | Sponsor logo, listing, link, or feature. | Page, duration, link, and update process. |
| Member email | Approved sponsor acknowledgement or offer. | Number of sends, date, content approval, and audience definition. |
| Club events | Signage, announcement, booth, prize, or activity support. | Event date, venue rules, staff responsibilities, and proof. |
| Clinics and programs | Supporter recognition or product contribution. | Program purpose, contribution use, and recognition schedule. |
| Member benefits | Discount or service offer from the sponsor. | Voluntary participation, distribution, and privacy boundaries. |
| Facility relationship | Court sign or facility program role, only with authority. | Written facility approval, term, sign rules, and maintenance. |
Make the value honest
A member list is not an invitation to share private information. A club should not sell member data or imply endorsement unless it has clear permission and policy support. Describe available communication or recognition accurately, and use the club’s normal channels in a way that respects the community.
