  • Sports Reference Sponsorships

    I sent this letter off last night to Sports Reference as a potential idea for sponsoring pages. The response I received follows. I just feel the point of my letter was completely missed.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    >It's really a shame you have the system you do for sponsorship pages. I understand that players that receive more hits you believe deserve a higher price tag for sponsorship, but after sponsoring Matt Adams for 1 year at $25, I saw the price tag for his page increase nearly 8 times.
    >
    >It's a business decision. I get that.
    >
    >But here his page remains unsponsored...and I don't believe his page has been sponsored since my sponsorship ran out in June of 2013. I'm still willing to sponsor his page, but at $190 there is no way.
    >
    >Have you ever thought of running a sort of Personal Sponsorship program for folks who don't want to use your page to promote a business? The thousands of pages you could allow for year long sponsorships at a discounted rate...maybe even let the individual choose the amount they wish to donate to sports reference in exchange for a page sponsorship.
    >
    >Perhaps if a page sits unsponsored for more than 3 months, maybe allow individuals to sponsor. You can have them choose their message, have it reviewed for "business references", rejected if it contains a business message, and lock it for the year if approved.
    >
    >It's really a missed opportunity, as I would have continued with a $25 sponsorship of Matt Adams page for the last 2 years...a $50 loss for your organization.
    >
    >I feel bad his page isn't sponsored...he's a proud Rocket from Slippery Rock University, just as I am. But at $190, all I can do is just hope his page is sponsored.
    >
    >I just wonder if you ran a program like this, how many thousands of dollars more you would have each year.

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear that you think this is unfair. We appreciate your feedback.

    Best,

    Mike
    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
