Squeeze until it hurts Ed

[Hinequarters]

I would like the club to start by changing their reliance on gambling revenue. North Melbourne have done it so why can't we?

Yeah the gambling is hard to take.. making money off misery and addiction.. it's not a great look

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Subway import most of their product FFS. Emirates, well, never mind...

 

[Collingwoodity]

Ugh. You soft ***** complaining about these sponsors are the same that complain when we don't win a flag every year.

It is you who are soft. We must demand the best from the Collingwood football CLub always.

2 Premierships in 50 years is a terrible return for a Club as rich as Collingwood.

LOL. You're a fool. Collingwood was not rich in the mid 90s. Did you expect flags then?

How did Collingwood get rich? By getting deals with Lexus and Emirates not by pussy-footing about. It's Emirates, not Al Qaeda.

Por que no los dos?

I refuse to fly with them.

Well, my family is frequent flyers with Emirates, have been for 7 years. If they don't sponsor the pies, i will be voting with my $$.
Also, i am over Dubai airport. Bring on QATAR i say.

Emirates - Did you hear the pies signed up 50k members already? Sure you want to play this game with us?

I think we were piloting a program of helicopter flights for each player, a flotilla that might avoid any Buddy Holly type incidents. Might be back to the drawing board. Maybe a full-time repo man to commandeer a Boeing 720, an air starter as well.

Shocking air safety record.

Shocking air safety record.

I'm also not keen on their crash course pilot training methods.

I find some of the replies on this thread really strange... Who cares how premium a brand that sponsors us?

It's all about how much they are willing to pay for us to promote them... For brand association purposes Collingwood are trying to be the biggest and the most mass marketed not some niche premium brand ...

So I don't care if its Joe's fish shop on our jumper as long as they pay 4 million a year (which would be a monster leap on our competitors)

Remember it's them getting exposure from us -- not the other way around ... (Unless your Barcelona who don't need the money)

You are correct to a degree but your clearly not in marketing.You always need to make sure you align yourself with the right brands and the best brands. They do get exposure your spot on but dont kid yourself Collingwood would turn down a 5 million dolllar deal with "Joes fish shop" if it meant a choice between that and a 2 million deal with Emirates.
Collingwood is after brand association so when people think of Emirates it reminds them of Collingwood and vice versa and that my friend money cant buy. Whether you agree Emirates is premium or not is not really the point as most people rate it very highly.
Oh and Barcelona do need the money that club is in major debt.

 

[Enforcer]

Shocking air safety record.

Worst Frequent Flyer rewards program going around.

Barcelona run at a loss, as far as the books are concerned... They're not in financial trouble.

 

[tazzawazza]

Carlton will be probably getting the sponsor now

Very good.
I also heard that we are re routing our plumbing from our shower block drains to Princess Park (or whatever it is called these days), so the Carlton players can shower in our used water.

 

[scruffydog]

I, personally, am entirely unsure as to why we are squeezing Ed.

 

[Smoky]

Why don't we see if MiniSkips want to have a crack at the contract?

50k?? I'm sure the fans of Arsenal, AC Milan, Paris St. Germain, Real Madrid, Olympiacos, and our very own powerhouse, the Western Force (who???? who thre f#$k cares???) could cover the 50k.
Australia is a blip to Emirates. Eddie better not play hard ball for too long.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Who cares as long as they pay the money.

10 years ago Emirates was not a premium brand, neither was Lexus really. Things change. Who's to say a new sponsor won't have the same transformation over time.

Agree.

It may have been said but I couldn't give a rats who sponsors us, as long as we get best deal.

Edit. It has been said but worth repeating. Who cares what our sponsors are. It is your choice to buy their products.

 

[GreekLunatic]

what a non story we signed a 5 year deal with emirates in 2010 so we got still a year to run. they will re -sign with us again

 

[Hinequarters]

Our brand was around a 100 years before them and will be around a 100 years after their oil runs out

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

3.5 a year is a bit much. I assume they'll agree to settle on 2 mill a year which is still double and most likely a sponsorship record.

 

[ZEV]

If ed is asking 3.5 he has a backup ready to go at 3....

 

[Scottabe_pendles]

You are correct to a degree but your clearly not in marketing.You always need to make sure you align yourself with the right brands and the best brands. .

A) I am in marketing at least my job title for the last 6 years has said so..

B) brand association is for the company paying the money to be classed in the same echelon as the company they are paying the money to... (I understand the likeness but that's more about the company wanting to match the brand image of who they sponsor or just purely mass marketing - which is that they'd be doing with collingwood) -- it's the same reason that f1 company's accept cigarette companies as sponsors each year -- purely financial reasons nothing to do with how they want brand association because they don't care

C) Barcelona give up hundreds of millions in sponsorship to promote oxfam and as another poster mentioned run at a loss purposely -- I think they're okay financially haha
