VPSU Championship Ad Sales

VPSU produces a brochure for the Championship Swim Meet. Advertisements are sold as a means to raise funds. These ads can be business card size up to full-page ads. The ads are seen by approximately 500+ families in the Williamsburg, York County and Upper Newport News areas. Ads are inexpensive. Last year, a full-page ad ran $80. VPSU refunded 70% of the cost of the ad back to the individual swim team selling that particular ad. Ford's Colony Swim Team will apply 25% of the total ad revenue against this year's dues if the ad is sold prior to the first swim meet. A check will be issued to the swim team family selling that ad. If the ad is sold after the first meet, then 25% of the total ad revenue will be applied towards next year's dues. For example, a swim team family sells 2 full-page ads at $80 each. 25% of the amount sold or 25% of $160 ($40.00) will be refunded to that family. What a great way to lower your family's swimming expense and help your swim team at the same time!   Order form is below:

2005 Championship Meet Program Ad Sales Information

             Selling ads for the championship meet program is one of the easiest ways to raise funds for your team, and it helps support VPSU as well.  This fund raising partnership relies on the participating teams and the VPSU to do their parts correctly.  The VPSU provides the ad sales contracts, creates the championship “heat sheets”, compiles the program to include the heat sheets, ads, and general information, and prints and sells the program.  Teams selling ads use the provided contract forms, submit all ads camera ready (proper size and in black and white), and provides a check payable to VPSU for the league share of the ad sales.

            Profits from the ads are shared at a rate of 70/30, with the team selling the ad keeping 70% of the ad cost, and the league receiving 30%.  The sale prices and shares for the various ad sizes are shown in the table below, along with the maximum size for each ad.  Information to be included on sponsor lines must be clearly written and with correct spelling, but does not have to be camera ready. 

            Be sure to show prospective advertisers one of our previous meet programs, and emphasize that we have 600 or so swimmers (and their families) from Williamsburg and the Peninsula involved with this meet. When you sell an ad, cut the bottom section of the contract off and give to the buyer as a receipt.  Cut the middle section off and attach to camera ready ad copy for submission  to VPSU.
