footballcv.com LTD.
footballcv.com started life as a website for 'would be' young footballers who wanted a trial with a football club to show them their ability, but, having written dozens of letters to clubs, seldom got a reply. As the organisers all worked in the football industry, and during this period had made many good contacts, they decided to start a business they would enjoy, both through helping youngsters achieve their aims, and from working in an environment they enjoyed. As the business expanded they went a step further and started their own trials. Most recently they held trials at Leeds United FC, Charlton Athletic FC and Coventry City FC, dividing the players into age groups. In addition they sent invitations to all the managers and scouts of Premier League, Football League and non-League clubs for them to come along and view the players. They have held further trials at Northampton Town FC, Tranmere Rovers FC, Swindon Town FC, Gateshead International Stadium, Falkirk FC and many non-league grounds. There have been many 'success stories' from these trials - these can be viewed at www.footballcv.com, the organisation's website, which shows that there are up to 2,000 registered members, with the number increasing every year. Website trend for last 3 months  •  Average monthly visitors: 19,325   •  Average daily visitors: 630  •  Average monthly page views: 100,174  •  Average daily page views: 3,266  •  Average time per visit: 445 secs. Recent developments include working with Manchester United FC where footballcv.com will be running an exclusive Trials Day for 6-9 year olds for the Premiership club. Now they know that they have an idea that works they are looking for a Main Sponsor. They have a vested interest to ensure the programme works. The market is footballers from the age of six to those in their late twenties. With 1,700 members registered they would be able to send out mailings and introductory offers. There are also several thousand potential members who register their details on the website before completing their registration. For the Main Sponsor there would be a banner on all pages of the website with links to the sponsor company's website and of course they could promote the sponsor using their extensive database. The sponsor's name/logo would appear on all Trials Day programmes and other publicity material. They have just purchased an entire range of new kit. The sponsoring company could appear on all the players' shirts and on the kit worn by the staff on the day. footballcv.com point out that local radio and TV usually come along to the Trials. They have twice featured on SKY Sports, on GMTV, BBC Radio and TalkSport, as well as appearing in several publications such as Match magazine, 4-4-2 and The Non-League Newspaper. footballcv.com takes regular advertisements in the football magazines and the national and local press. If their proposal is of any interest they would be pleased to meet with any potential sponsor to discuss the possibilities. Contact: Graham Starmer, Director.
