Some companies sponsor sports as a way to advertise themselves. Some people think it is good while others think there are disadvantages. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Sponsoring

sports

has become a common way for

companies

to market themselves. Advocates for

this

idea believe that

this

can make

companies

popular and well known while others think that there are drawbacks to

this

. In

this

essay, I will outline both opinions and state why I believe that

companies

should advertise themselves in sport sponsoring.

To begin

with, some people believe that

companies

should be spending

money

on sponsoring

sports

because

this

is a win-win situation.

Sports

need funds to keep on going and

companies

with benefit from the popularity of

sports

to advertise for their goods.

For example

, football players wear t-shirts on which some

companies

print their logo and

consequently

all the fans will get the same t-shirt making the advertisement go viral. The more popular the game the faster the company will be known.

On the other hand

, opponents of

this

idea think that

this

is just a waste of

money

. They believe that

companies

can get advertised through television or street ads with way less amount of

money

than that spent on

sports

. The

money

saved from sponsoring

sports

can be spent in making attractive offers for the public.

For instance

, a reduced price offer can attract a lot of people during the offer time. The less

money

spent on advertisements the more attractive offers they can make. In conclusion, a growing number of

companies

choose to advertise themselves through sponsoring

sports

. Despite some opinions who believe there are better ways of marketing for

companies

while spending less

money

, I believe that

this

is a great way of advertisement as it is done for a good cause which is supporting players and at the same time getting advantage from their popularity. In the end, it is a win-win situation.
