Hibs Sponsorship - Market Research

[woodythehibee]

Admin - Feel free to shift this to another forum if appropriate.

As some of you may be aware, I work for a law firm in Leith and looking to ingather some market research from Hibs fans.

My question is:

- To what extent are you likely to be influenced in choosing a solicitor based on an association with the club?

Can you give any examples?

Any other comments and thoughts welcome.

Cheers :flag:

Massive, massive discount and something for nowt. But you probably knew that without the need for research.

[Geo_1875]

Given all being equal in reputation and cost I would always consider vendors with an association with Hibs favourably.

[cabbageandribs1875]

any special deals for writing a will :greengrin

[linlithgowhibbie]

I would but only if the deal was right for me at the time of needing their services.

You just need to think back to our recent Share issue. We had to buy Shares via an IFA and those with a known affinity to HFC did quite well.

I will change it slightly, I would never use Leslie Deans because of his association with another club.

This is where I would sit.

[matty_f]

This is where I would sit.

Same here, would even consider someone a bit more expensive if they were associated with Hibs.

[Scouse Hibee]

The association with Hibs alone wouldn't be enough for me to consider anyones services.

This for me too

Price, reviews and reputation would come before an association with Hibs but would be definitely be a sway if things were close between firms.

This. But association with Hibs is quite a good way to capture my attention for consideration in the first place.

This!! I've never had a Strongbow.

When I bought my first house I didn't have a lawyer. Didn't use McEwan Fraser because I'd heard they were a bit dodgy (as it happened they represented the sellers and I didn't get great impressions).

Sponsoring Hibs did make them stand out though and made me look into them. Had a more reputable lawyers sponsored Hibs they'd have a good chance of getting my continued business.

I trust Hibernian associates more than I would anything linked to hearts or the old firm.

If I ever needed legal advice or represented it would make me feel more at ease for some reason if I knew they supported us too.

[Firestarter]

This!! I've never had a Strongbow.

Or shopped on all sports. The one in Cameron Toll was over priced rank. Like strongbow.

[Wembley67]

I would class a law firm with ties to a football club a bit 'naff' and would probably shy away. Pricing would be irrelevant.

[jacomo]

Don't know whether to be impressed by the honesty here, or roll my eyes.

[WeeRussell]

The association with Hibs alone wouldn't be enough for me to consider anyones services.

Same.

Apart from possibly being the first name to spring to mind because I remember seeing it at Easter Road/on our kit when needing such services - it wouldn't change anything in my decision making process.

[Beefster]

Cost, the reputation of the firm involved and recommendations from friends/colleagues/family all come before an association with Hibs.

I'd have thought that a firm pays for the increase in brand recognition and the resulting benefits from that, rather than folk just using them because they are associated with Hibs, though.

[surreyhibbie]

If I needed the service I would certainly look at any Hibs-related ones first. cost etc would only then kick in.

[Green_one]

OK so I have bought windows, gin and clothing due to Hibs connections (adverts and sponsors)

So it works with me but it would not be the only criteria and I would not pay a premium. It would be a good way with me of separating yourself from the pack where this is little other obvious criteria. So for example - wills. Tell us you will do a deal for season ticket holders and I am there. Tell me you do conveyancing and I will consider you.

Conversely I was not entirely comfortable buying CR Smith stuff many years ago due to the obvious connections. :rolleyes:

I have a vision of hibees sitting wearing protective clothing in their double glazed, calor gas powered Alfa Romeo with bottles of lager & gin in the cup holders together with a pre-prepared flask of whisky mac.

Very valid point, time for retract 👍

[NAE NOOKIE]

The only thing I have bought that I wouldn't have because of their connection with Hibs is a few bottles of Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer :greengrin

Having said that I would be swayed towards a particular brand of something I already use if they sponsored Hibs .... I don't mind which lager I drink, but to this day my preference is towards Carlsberg because they sponsored us.

As for solicitors ..... It would come down to cost and reputation, but in a near run thing between several I would choose the one who sponsors or has a connection with the club :agree:
