PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Is it worth it? I just try it and the yearly cost completely blow me away. The one I have right now costs me only 45k a year (scunthorpe) and 57k (krasnodar). I asked the board to get an affiliate team to promote team brand overseas and they returned with 5 options, the most expensive one cost a cool 2.5 mil a year!!! (New England Revolution), while the cheapest one, the one that I finally chose still costs 643K (Dallas FC)... Is it actually worth it? Will my merchandise income actually increase by more than that? Seems like a crazy amount just to have an affiliate team... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 643K per year is fairly cheap!! What team are you? I'm Arsenal with New England and Guangzhou as affiliates. I pay out £2.7m altogether. As as a reward they will help me bring in £18m of merchandising per year in total. Obviously most of this income is domestic, and it's hard to tell how succesful a foreign merchandising link can be, but it's always worthwhile. You tend to get your money back. Plus, on occasions you will be invited to tour USA in pre-season. Which is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPPPPPPPPPP10 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm barnsley on 2nd year of premiership... Now I look back at it I probably rushed the decision to make that kind of connection a bit . My mechandise sale last year made me 4.6 mil while so far this season (jan 5, so a little over half way) I had made $5 mil, but I guess I'll check what difference it will make in the next couple of years. It would be great if I actually make money of this. I was really surprised at the costs though since the other affiliates that I had costs so little Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
