ABOUT WERAROA CRICKET CLUB

The Weraroa Cricket Club Inc is a non-profit organisation aimed at managing and
supporting local cricket. Originally formed in 1921, the Weraroa Cricket Club Inc.
supports ten club teams including junior teams, college teams, senior afternoon teams
offering cricket to all local region of the Horowhenua. We also offer Twilight Cricket
to 140 social twilight cricket players involving local businesses and other local clubs.
In 2015, the club with the support of the club committee, initiated a 3 year strategic
business plan for the club. This plan has been designed to ensure cricket in
Horowhenua increases its status and continues to grow on all levels. The club now
has grown from three to 10 club teams including our junior cricket teams.

As a part of the last strategic plan, a 24 month sponsorship package was designed to
give businesses the opportunity for cost effective promotion and marketing. What a
success it was for our club, having a corporate sponsor like BNZ and a well know
local business called Top Glass has also helped increase the clubs profile in so many
ways.

Cricket is a game for life, it is one of the nation’s major sports and is an important
part of its lifestyle so why not use it to increase your brand awareness.

        GOOD TICKS
             Sponsorship can generate substantial publicity for a relatively
                small investment. “It’s like using the strength, funds and
                audiences of two organisations to develop your product and build
                your brand awareness.
             You can gain the visual awareness of brand.
             Builds a feel-good factor thanks to its association with the local
                team.

         can build relationships with. It will be a great opportunity for you to
         increase your reach and exposure to new clients and businesses.

         TAX DEDUCTION

         Sponsorship is when you pay to promote your business in a way that
         also benefits the persons or organisation you are sponsoring.
         According to Inland Revenue, costs for sponsorship are deductible
         where there is a connection between the expenditure and the business.

         In order for Inland Revenue to accept that this ‘connection test’ exists,
         you must show that your business is being promoted by incurring the
         sponsorship expenditure.
