HeyYou Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Does MTN's sponsorship of Qhubeka, the charity, have any influence/impact on your choice of Cell Phone provider? Does their sponsorship of MTN - Qhubeka professional cycling Team make you want to support them? It's a conundrum, we're all cyclists, but does MTN's spend encourage us to support them???? PS: I've been an MTN subscriber since 1995, 20 years!!!Shucks, I've paid them a lot of money!!!
Al Pal Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Sponsorship is the main business, giving us cell phone coverage is more like a sideline hobby
NotSoBigBen Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Are they not about to retrench 600 employees?

fanievb Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 MTN for data Vodacom for calling. Sponsorship doesn't make me support anyone purely because if the sponsorship
RocknRolla Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Is mtn not pulling their sponsorship from cycling? Sponsorship does not affect my choice of buying anything.
Boerklong Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Does nothing for me. played golf and was a Tiger fan but never owned any Nike products. Altus de Wet is a home town hero but im not into Fox for my Offroad gear.
eddy Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Of course sponsorship plays a role in decision making. I'm with MTN because Vodacom sponsors the Blue Bulls
betaboy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 MTN is the only brand actually interested in the sport of cycling, I have yet to see any others really get involved in a team setup. MTN is leading the way for future tech companies to climb on now as its value for money compared to other sports.
Madone69 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 on another note regards sponsorship from MTN: MTN sponsorship for the local Club100 has been reduced , at least for Club100 Cape Town , or that's what they say .
betaboy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 ^ That odd, you'd think it would be going the other way since now its in the spot light? I still reckon the best sponsor is the LOTTO, just look at how many teams in europe were involved in cycling. If only Our LOTTO would help grow the sport at grass root levels.
RocknRolla Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Correct, MTN does a lot for cycling teams in SA. However, when I am looking for a service,i do not go onto the companie's list of sponsorship deals to determine weather or not i want to use their product or service. I do my own research and try and not fall for marketing blurb.
betaboy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 ..well some sweet marketing will sure be around, i mean how would you like to update your contract and recieve a free TDF phone cover and fridge magnet, but wait.. t's & c's apply.LOL.
Patchelicious Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Who cares, the "where does coffee come from" ad has gone, PHEW.
