PDA TOURNAMENT PROGRAM ADVERTISING

The club is offering the PDA teams the opportunity to sell advertising in our tournament programs as a fundraiser. This year we will host three tournaments, in April, May, and September. For each of these tournaments we will produce a tournament book to be distributed, free of charge, to all attending teams. Teams may start selling ads immediately!

The ad sales order forms, prices, and support materials are available online at www.pdasoccer.org under the advertising tab on the left side of the page. After a team sells $500.00 (previously $1000) in ads, the club splits any additional sales 50/50 with the team. For example, a team selling $2000 in ads would get $750 for their team. These ad sales can easily earn your team enough money to fund budget shortfalls such as paying for winter training, extra roster spots, equipment or additional uniforms for the teams. The $500 number is very easily attainable with a full-page ad for three tournaments being $1350. The smallest ad for three tourneys is a 1/8^th page ad (the size of a business card) for $165. Obviously getting a commitment for three tourneys is the best value for the vendors and for your teams. This means it is important to get off to a fast start to maximize your fundraising.

The first ad sales deadline is April 1 and the subsequent deadlines will generally be the Saturday three weeks before the tourney. A transaction will be complete when the club Ad Sales Coordinator has received: the order form, which includes the ad size, the team who sold it, and the number of tourneys; the check made out to PDA; and the ad copy which is to be emailed to the club Ad Sales Coordinator. It is easiest for everyone if they are all delivered at the same time. Detailed instructions are included on the Tournament Ad Book Order Form.

We look forward to a great year. We know it works so make it work for you! Good luck!
