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.
