Sponsorship

As a sport, racing is very compatible with corporate entertainment. Sponsoring a race or a race meeting offers advertising and promotional opportunities. It also gives you valuable time with your clients, staff, suppliers or distributors, amongst the excitement and colour of a relaxing day at the races.

We recognise that building and maintaining relationships has the potential to realise mutual benefits, which are especially important for both of our businesses.

Sponsorship opportunities exist in many forms including Cup day sponsorship, race naming rights, signage rights (running rails, starting stalls) and corporate partnerships. The cost and range of privileges vary according to the race status, level of prize money, and type of hospitality required.

With 34 race meetings at 9 racecourse throughout the Wimmera we can tailor an offer to suit any requirements. This will ensure that we can provide maximum benefits, visibility, entertainment, PR and exposure to align with your business objectives.

Racing offers businesses unique exposure to a wide audience, not only at the racecourse, but also through the extensive media groups which cover racing, including the TVN network, Sky Channel, the national racing radio network, daily newspapers, country radio, television, newspapers and specialist racing publications.

Wimmera Racing Club has excellent catering and corporate facilities and a strong focus on customer service and customer satisfaction. These strategies assure you of the Club’s commitment to servicing your needs and building long-term relationships.
