ADVERTISING at a football stadium is a great way for a company to put its name in front of a local, regional, national and sometimes international audience.

Cost can be a prohibitive factor at Premier League and Championship clubs, but Walsall FC have set stadium advertising rates at a very realistic level for the 2011/12 season, bringing it well within the radar of medium-size and smaller businesses.

Advertising rates start from just £800 (including VAT). There are no hidden extras - all advertisers have to do is provide the artwork. The cost of manufacture and installation is included in the basic price. You will also get your company contact details in every edition of the Matchday Programme and online via the Official Walsall FC Website - www.saddlers.co.uk.

Just think of the audience you will be reaching. Banks's Stadium has an annual footfall of 1.3million visitors; football supporters, conference delegates, guests attending functions and visitors to the Sunday Market etc.

Over 150,000 spectators will attend matches during the season; highlights of all League and Cup games are shown on TV, and if the stadium hosts a live television game, when the television cameras are on all four sides, it will reach an audience of around one million viewers.

Stadium advertising is a great way for a company to improve its profile as well as earning itself status and prestige. At these prices even a modest business return would make it self-financing, and it could be much better than that.
