Remland Carpets Sponsor Folkestone Invicta FC (8/10/10)

Club Chairman Lynn Woods underlines the importance of proactive engagement with local business, which benefits the club not just in direct financial terms but in highlighting Invicta's community role and social facilities. "Despite the difficult economic situation, it has been very heartening that traders have stepped in to boost the club's advertising and sponsorship revenue. They like what they see in the Club's commitment to its community and are keen to be part of its role in Folkestone's regeneration".

For Remland Carpets, owner Trevor Ballard identifies closely with the Club's support of youth and disability football. "Remland has always supported Invicta and we are delighted that the Club is back on its feet and progressing so well. We also know from experience that Invicta offers excellent commercial exposure for us and has a loyal base of fans and youth members and parents who let us pitch for their business. It is very much a two-way relationship".

Invicta Company Secretary Jim Pellatt sees other similar opportunities for businesses to use Invicta to promote their message. "We are keen to find businesses who will promote themselves through the Club to raise their profile outside the normal setting of media and static advertising. Sponsoring the Stripes Social Club might be an especially attractive option, and of course we can always accommodate firms who would like to take a boundary board or programme advertisement.
