Put Your name in the Picture - Company Advertising
What is the Harlequins fundraising site plan?
The site plan of Harlequins club has been divided into 3,200 blocks, each individual block represents funds donated to help build a better future for Harlequins. For a company advertising it represents a chance
to put their logo in Harlequins history. This logo will then be hyperlinked back to the donor company's web-site, allowing visitors to www.corkharlequins.com to visit the sites of our company advertisers. Companies who take space in the plan are also eligible for a series of raffles over 3 years.
Why is the Harlequins fundraising site plan particularly relevant to companies?
For a company the fundraising site plan represents an opportunity to advertise for a period of 5 years at a low cost. It offers companies a chance
to put their logo in Harlequins history. The company's logo will then be hyperlinked back to the donor company's web-site, allowing visitors to www.corkharlequins.com to visit the sites of our company advertisers. Companies who purchase advertising space in the plan are also entered into a series of raffles which run for a period of three years.
What are the major benefits to companies advertising within the site plan

Where on the site plan should companies purchase space?
Companies have a choice of where they would like to purchase space within the site plan.
A selection can be made from any of the numbered blocks still available in the Harlequins fundraising site plan. Companies may have different reasons for purchasing in different areas e.g:
1. Some companies may like to be associated with hockey, cricket and/or soccer, so that may influence the decision to locate their logo on the cricket pitch or one of our two astro turf pitches.
2. Areas of the club such as the clubhouse and car park may be more particularly relevant to companies whose product and/or service has a link with this aspect of a club.
