Tips for Success
Research local market rates
Sponsorship pricing varies by region. Urban and suburban cheerleading programs can typically charge 20–40% more than rural areas. Check what other local teams charge.
Start with businesses near your venue
Businesses within 5 miles of your cheerleading field or facility are the most likely sponsors. They benefit directly from the foot traffic your team brings.
Offer multi-season discounts
A 10–15% discount for season-long or year-long commitments locks in revenue and reduces your fundraising workload. Sponsors get better ROI, too.
Include a thank-you package
Send sponsors a framed team photo, a thank-you card signed by players, or a simple impact report at the end of the season. It costs almost nothing but dramatically improves renewal rates.
Be professional in your outreach
Use your team's letterhead or email domain. Include a one-page sponsorship deck with photos. Businesses are more likely to sponsor teams that present themselves professionally.
Know your cheerleading signage specs
Verify banner dimensions and materials before promising placements. Most cheerleading venues allow vinyl banners with grommets. Get exact measurements so sponsors can prepare artwork.
