@ Betters, Its a sponsorship package. That’s how companies bring about awareness about their products. you have media at these events and they will be featured on breaks for programmes that are televised or presented on radio and all, thereby increasing the customer base. That’s what they are supposed to do to turn fortunes around if at all they will.
