As a way to draw increased awareness and attention to some of the standup sponsorship opportunities on our site, we’ve set apart one blog per month to put the “Spotlight on Sponsorship”! If you have a premium level listing on SponsorPark, and would like to have your event featured, please contact Stephanie.Lochmiller@SponsorPark.com to submit your event, as we are currently looking to fill the remainder of our 2011 Spotlight calendar. This month our spotlight shines on the “World Ice Snow Skiing and Snowboarding Sailing Championship 2012”.
What is the World Ice Snow Skiing and Snowboarding Sailing Championship all about?
The World Ice and Snow Sailing Championship event is the longest running international competition in the history of Windsurfing and Kiting. It’s also the most prestigious winter sailing event in the world. Held every year since 1980, the event location alternates annually between Europe and North America. This year it will be held in the 3rd oldest city in the U.S., St. Ignace, MI which was established in 1671.
What Makes this Opportunity Unique?
Offering some of the best winds on the Mackinaw straight for Lake Michigan, this year's event will run from February 20-26th, 2012 in St. Ignace, Michigan, USA. WISSA is the ONLY world event where wings, kites and sails all compete together on snow or ice, slalom and course. This event, which is the oldest event of its type, will be celebrated for 32nd time right here in the United States. This event offers potential sponsors the opportunity to reach an international audience within a well-established market with loyal followers.
Surviving Sponsorship in a Heated Economy
WISSA has partnered with Action Sports Enterprises to gain increased exposure and reach a wider audience. As a result of this partnership WISSA has remained on the cutting edge of sports and have continued to find innovative ways to get their event out to more people. In addition, ASE has joined up with SponsorPark to offer their clients even more exposure.
Preferred Partners?
Although the event is unique in its own right, clothing, vehichles, food, drink and lifestyle brands can all benefit from a partnership with WISSA, and event organizers are eager to custom build packages from the ground up in order to suite their sponsors specific needs.
