Your Perfect Marketing Platform
Race Sponsorship offers the perfect marketing platform, whether that be to promote your business to the masses, highlight a special business milestone or product, or even to mark that special family celebration.
Sponsorship is widely recognised as a unique but very effective and prestigious method of promoting a product or service. Media coverage combined with on-course branding, PR and extensive advertising and promotional opportunities come together to provide an innovative while exciting way to promote your company or brand.
Sponsorship is also becoming increasingly popular as an exciting added dimension to a birthday, anniversary or general celebration.
There's nothing more thrilling than seeing your name in print in the morning paper and presenting the prize and enjoying a glass of bubbly with the winning owner of your very own race! And we'd put odds on that it's cheaper than you would expect!
As Scotland's Premier Racecourse, we have a wide range of Sponsorship opportunities available to suit all budgets and marketing/publicity requirements.
