Chicagoland DockDogs presents a Unique Sponsorship Opportunity for YOUR COMPANY OR GROUP in northern Illinois!
The Chicagoland DockDogs Club, part of the DockDogs Worldwide organization, is available to add fun and excitement to your festival, event, open house or promotion!
We can provide days of exposure for a sponsor like you that is wishing to reach a targeted and proven market.
Our competitors (150+, per history for our club’s events) treat their dogs as members of the family, complete with high-quality foods, treats, training, health care, travel, and equipment.
Our spectators, (200+ at open events) look forward to our events every year and have grown to include the areas’ large competitive dog community as well as family pets. They are also prime customers for your company or group.
We work with non-profit groups or as part of festivals/events, our competitions have access to media that provides low-cost but extensive exposure for you. Our events have been featured on the front or center page of the local papers in the event area. They have also enjoyed television coverage on at least one of the major network TV stations in during local news coverage. Your prominent sponsorship would inevitably allow you to benefit from this coverage.
