“The Name Remains the Same For Fans” – Why Fans Oppose Naming Right Sponsorships
While the fit between sponsor and sponsee is frequently mentioned and empirically examined as a success factor of sponsorship, little knowledge exists to guide the management of such companies that are in the particular situation of a low fit or even reactance of consumers. The present article contributes to the literature by examining the determinants and consequences of sponsorship fit using a qualitative and a quantitative study. Results of the two studies demonstrate that negative effects of sponsorships are especially relevant for the sponsoring company since both brand image and word-of-mouth intention are affected negatively. Based on the results, management implications are derived.
