I can only enjoy the actions of late: Rugbytweetmeet , fasport.ro more famous than sportlocal.ro more new Portariliga1 and many more. world looks to the sport, people wonder: What happens to the sport of Romania. What is wrong? What's wrong?

The blog has not had much activity, but little time to gather a few people. People who have discovered the pleasure of their interest to the sport, which means sports marketing.

You've done the last time sport?

We discuss about sports marketing, sports clubs about issues, about the problems of lack of money, lack of investment in quality training. But forget essential. The fact that we are not educated towards sport. Small are we taught to do daily exercise.

You when you came last in the house just to play sports? You whenever you have subscribed "to the gym" but not to go more than three times? You when you last looked in the mirror and you've said today I needed to refresh by moving. Every time you lift up the stairs to gain?

You've done the last sport?

What is the most hated sports website

I started a small research today on twitter. Things deviated arose as discussions and controversy surrounding the meaning of sports marketing. I understand the question that sports is mostly football. Handcrafts should not be restricted only to the sport.

Returning to # celmaiuratsitedesport answers varied.

Federation are not too good in this area, but no clubs can not boast.

I created a questionnaire right to choose the most, but the ugliest site. To propose you expect to leave comments on this article.

Increasingly many campaigns for sports

Illustrated by a considerable increase campaigns involving sports, not necessarily by athletes but by encouraging the masses to adopt an active lifestyle.

A recent study showed that in Romania there are over 12,000 children in 10 obese and 9 have no chance to return to a normal weight. The causes are the lack of sport and physical activity in their lives but also unhealthy diets: fast food, candy, etc..

On September 27th took place the fourth edition of the running, too, Petrom . If last year building tracks has only to disappoint the audience, look forward to building these tracks this year.

Gillette organized tour Phenomenal - the idea somewhat resembles those of Nike but applauded anyway.

Finally, but not finally make the move online: the bikewalk to play in the park until little of each . The latter is a full-fledged campaign where you can ask for advice even nutritionist. Companies supporter : AGRANA Romania, Coca-Cola Romania, Hochland Romania, Kraft Foods Romania, Mars Romania, Nestle Romania, Unilever South Central Europe.

Sports start receiving deserved attention both online and in the offline. It speaks to people about this sport and its importance can only please us because, as previously stated "Increasingly fewer children and young people are interested in sport in general and particularly the performance". One solution would be putting their sport in the viewfinder.

Sponsorship and sponsorship in sports

Is a public relations, business strategy material support, logistics and / or financial support from a client (individual, non-profit legal person, institution, public authority, show or audiovisual program, a trademark, an exhibition or event to ), a sponsor.

Sponsorship is a legal act by which the parties agree on the transfer of ownership of goods and / or financial means to support non-profit activities undertaken by the beneficiary (Government Ordinance no. 36/1998 on amending the Law no. 32/1994 on sponsorship - republished in the Official Gazette 43/30 January 1998).

Sponsorship to achieve a direct and rapid gain in terms of image and reputation for the firm (as opposed to patronage - more discreet and disinterested action, long-term effects sponsor), by:

- Increase direct audience - those present to place sponsored event (the stadium, the concert or the exhibition - brand name and logo imprinted on sports clothing on competition cars or on billboards located in the stadium, custom promotional items offered to the public, etc.);

- Increase audience indirect - to achieve capital image and reputation through media coverage of the event (increasing number of people attending the event through radio or TV commercials, the news, the ads in newspapers, advertising caravans etc. );

In order to achieve effective communication and enhance the brand, sponsored the event must be closely linked with institutional positioning and company's product portfolio.

Main forms:

- Sponsorship participatory - when it is one of the participants at the event.

Sponsorship is specific, in particular, field sports (supporting a team / sport federation, a sports event / tournament sports) - about 80% of all sponsorships - and art (supporting a cultural event, an artist, a cultural TV show ş . a). Example: Ursus - sponsor of National Football Championship of Romania, Marlboro - F1 sponsor, Coca-Cola - official sponsor of OJ (1996). [1]

After this summary of sponsorship we will discuss further about sponsoring the sport. This topic is very broad and will return with more items to fully understand the scale of the marketing actions.

In recent years many companies have become sponsors athletes. Even companies not considered as a viable source of sports marketing, now use it to convey the message: UPS, Viagra, McDonalds, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and many others have learned that today's sports sponsorship can put in the spotlight consumers.

One of the most famous racing series is NASCAR's world. This started after the Second World War, as a family business and expanded over time and are now where only the best drivers and the best car manufacturers are competing. In addition to drama and adrenaline a lot of sponsors are invited to join the fans who not only support their favorites and to assist such companies.

TV covers most major competitions as an athlete winner is interviewed often, gives the main sponsor free media exposure Many companies choose to base their marketing plans around these media coverage, knowing that their chance to win supremacy in the market. This is especially true for international competitions, where multinationals reach their audience quickly and efficiently.

Generally athletes are bold and courageous figures (for racing cars, motorcycles, etc.). Not only that they have impressive physical skills but fans love charisma and positive spirit that they exude it. Young people want to be like them, girls want to edit them out at meetings, the elders would be truly honored to know and directors want to do business with them. Commentators and writers want to quote them in their books and articles on the contest organizers will make sure they will be present so that the public called to be large.

We classify the types of sponsorship in several categories and several cristerii. Also, sponsorship has both advantages and disadvantages. Of these we will discuss in future articles.

The link between sports marketing and marketing services

Services are activities, benefits or utilities that are offered on the market or provided in conjunction with the sale of a commodity [1] . Another accepted definition of marketing services is that of KJ Blois methods according to which "service is any activity that provides benefits without necessarily involve an exchange of tangible goods." [2]

Also "a service is any action that a subject can do for another, which is usually intangible and does not result in transfer propietăţii". [3]

The service industry, quality of provision is the most important competitive factor. Quality is what distinguishes one company from another. Long term, quality products and services a company is the most important factor affecting profit and most effective way to increase business turnover. [4]

Drawing a parallel between marketing and sports marketing services, we can replace the "quality of provision" with "performance" in the lines above, relating to us the only sport where performance is fundamental. Teams, athletes, sports clubs with good performance will always have loyal audiences and sponsors will enjoy the attention.

Sport is not only a service but also the only one who produces and consumes the same time, social quality of human presence is undoubtedly true because as the focal point.
