“…The FACTOr_AWArE variable is found positive and significant for both models indicating that sponsor firms with higher levels of fans awareness are associated with higher levels of financial performance (rOA and rOS). This finding corroborates arguments by Naidenova et al (2016) that sponsorship can stimulate consumer purchase intention leading to higher profitability.…”

“…Singh and Faircloth (2005) suggest that increased leverage impact negatively on a firm's future investment opportunities, which can lead on a negative effect on the long-term operating performance.

The value of sponsorship has been constantly proved not only by the large theoretical volume produced in the area but also the increasing number of companies investing in this promotional activity. 'Associations' built around the brand's image as created by the sponsored activity have been considered to be clear, certain and positive. However, there is a great lack of studies suggesting evidence that sponsorship's beneficial outcome is contributing to enhanced revenues and profitability for the companies vividly counting on its power. This lack of measureable results in terms of financial returns is attempted to be filled with the present study. The results presented here constitute an effort to provide interested parts insights into possible generation of revenue, or better indicators suggesting a relation between sponsorship awareness and profit levels.

Studies have shown that exposure to sponsorship can influence behavior. However, evidence of the effectiveness of sports advertising and its influence on alcohol consumption is inconclusive. The goal of this research is to examine whether sponsorship by alcohol products receives the same attention as sponsorship by nonalcohol products depending on their congruence and the way they influence the intention to consume. Using sports posters, an experiment was performed to measure attention through eye‐tracking. The results show that attention paid to alcohol brands is no greater than the attention paid to incongruent brands and is no different from the attention paid to congruent brands, regardless of gender and sporting discipline. Attention paid to sponsors has no influence on the intention to consume. These results show the need for further research on the effectiveness of sponsorship and its relationship with alcohol consumption.
