FACTORS AFFECTING CONSUMERS' RESPONSE TO TEAM SPONSORSHIP AND EFFECTS OF THIS SPONSORSHIP ON CONSUMERS: CASES OF FOOTBALL-EFES SPONSORSHIP AND BASKETBALL-GARANTI BANK SPONSORSHIP
Abstract
The purpose of this
study was to examine the effects of determinants of sports team sponsorship
response on consumers with two real-sponsorship cases. A total of 284
undergraduate students (139 female and 145 male) aged between 18 and 30,
participated in the study. Data were collected using a Sport Sponsorship
Evaluation Scale (Alay, 2004). Multiple regression, zero-order and partial
correlations, and t-test were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that
"sponsor-event fit", "image of sponsor", "liking
event", "sincerity of sponsor", and "attitude to
sponsor" were the significant predictors of the respondents' interest,
favor and use of sponsor's product. When evaluated, it can be said that
Basketball-Garanti Bank sponsorship is more successful than Football-Efes
sponsorship on most of the factors examined in this study. As a conclusion, it
is suggested that sponsorship decision makers (sponsors and sponsees) should
take into consideration the factors examined in this study when deciding on any
sponsorship agreement or any ongoing sponsorship.
