I honey didn't think handball was still a thing until I saw the Olympics this year. I thought it died thirty years ago with my beloved high school career. The recent numbers from valueplan I think are very telling. I'm not saying people are milking the system but perhaps the answer to why handball is because we allow it. $50,000 for a $10,000 sponsorship (or whatever). I'm almost sad I didn't think of it myself!
It's a bit sad that not only have most people not heard about this on hive but no one had any choice in choosing if this would be a good idea. Using hive polls I think it could bring quite some improvement on newer proposals to check the "wisdom of a crowd" before partnerships are built or funds spent on certain onboarding attempts.
Have you also heard about the motorcycle and the bike we sponsor in Latin America? I don't remember how much is the sponsorship for them... At least the cyclist was doing well in some competitions, I read at some point.
But overall, I agree with some of the other points made in the comments... General marketing is better suited when you are already an established and known company/platform and you want to keep reminding your potential customers you exist, or when you have lots of money to spend on marketing, like Crypto.com has.
I totally agree with you. Polls are tool that I always forget about, but it needs to start getting used more.
Where do I find polls?
Peakd maybe?
