Training Providers – How We Can Work Together

Promotional Opportunities for Pitchcare Training Partners.

We are dedicated to supporting those working in the turfcare industry, and training and education is an area that we consider to be of the utmost importance if standards of playing surface preparation and maintenance are to be improved and upheld. We are therefore keen to bring the widest possible range of training opportunities to our members through our website and our
bi-monthly magazine with its regular training supplements.

Pitchcare Training Partners can take advantage of a range of promotional opportunities, ranging from the all-inclusive media suite or, for smaller organisations, to simply the inclusion of their contact details in the training partners list published on the Pitchcare website.

The all-inclusive media suite comprises:

  • A single-space ad in one magazine supplement during the year (worth £250)
  • A banner for 12 months on the Pitchcare website (worth £1000)

Plus:

  • A direct hyperlink through to your organisation’s website
  • The opportunity to promote your organisation and its special events, such as seminars and conferences, on our website
  • Access to the expanding Pitchcare members data base (currently circa 30,000) through e-mail newsletters, to promote a course or training event
  • Opportunity to sponsor one e-mail newsletter during the year on a particular topic of your choice
  • The opportunity to contribute articles to the Pitchcare magazine, training supplement and website
  • Inclusion on the Pitchcare database of training providers, through which you may be invited to nominate instructors for bespoke courses in your locality
  • Redirection to you of training enquiries from individuals in your area

This package is typically taken by larger training organisations and colleges, and is available for £100 per month (plus VAT).

At the other end of the scale, for the smaller organisation a simple entry in the Training Partners’ list on our website showing business name and contact details only (address and telephone number) is available for just £50 per annum, with the option of also including an e-mail address and a link to their own website/course list (with free updates) for an additional £25 per annum (both prices plus VAT).

We would be delighted to discuss your individual requirements with you and to explore the best ways of helping you to promote your business to our members. Just call John Richards on 01902 440 256, or e-mail john@pitchcare.com
