Sponsor-Funded Branded Swag
A simple sponsor-funded gift your association can try with no upfront cost.
Gloozie is a golf-glove-style drink sleeve with a magnetic ball marker sponsors can brand for golf outings, trade shows, client gifts, and events. Offer it as a sponsor-funded gift, collect payment before placing the order, and keep the margin. If no sponsor says yes, you lose nothing.
No inventory. No upfront cost. No fulfillment work. TAP and Gloozie handle design, proofing, production, and shipping.
Setup is free. No order is placed until a sponsorship is funded.
Why it is easy to test
Offer it to a sponsor. If the sponsor says yes, your association makes money. If not, you lose nothing.
- You do not need to buy inventory.
- You do not need to guess demand.
- You do not need to manage production.
- You do not need to ship anything.
- You only place the order after a sponsor says yes and funds the sponsorship.
Why sponsors like it
It gets used
It earns a spot in the golf bag and gets reused long after, instead of ending up in the trash. More useful than the usual outing giveaway.
It puts the logo where people look
The sponsor's brand rides on the magnetic ball marker, across the course and into everyday use long after the event.
It makes the sponsor part of the event experience
Their brand becomes part of the outing, the hospitality, and the day attendees remember.
Gloozie works especially well for golf outings, but sponsors can also use it for trade shows, client gifts, staff gifts, and other events.
A simple way to package it
Position Gloozie as a premium event gift sponsorship. The sponsor gets their logo on the magnetic ball marker, attendees receive a useful branded item, and your association keeps the margin between the sponsorship price and the order cost.
- Sponsor a premium golf outing gift
- Put your logo on the magnetic ball marker
- Give attendees something they will actually keep
- Give sponsors an item they can reorder later for trade shows, client gifts, or staff gifts
Sell the sponsorship. Keep the margin.
Your association sells the sponsorship and collects payment from the sponsor. Then your association places the Gloozie order, uses the sponsor-funded payment to cover the order cost, and keeps the difference.
Example: sell the sponsorship for $3,500, collect the sponsor's payment, then pay $1,250 for a 100-unit custom Gloozie order. Your association keeps $2,250.
Separate from the initial sponsorship, your partner link can be used for future direct orders. When sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, or companies order later through your link, your association earns a royalty without handling inventory, production, or shipping.
How the money moves
- Your association offers Gloozie as a sponsorship.
- The sponsor pays your association.
- Your association places the custom Gloozie order after sponsor funds are secured.
- TAP and Gloozie handle design, proofing, production, and shipping.
- Your association keeps the difference between the sponsorship price and the order cost.

Ship

Sponsor setup and future reorder link
- For sponsor-funded event orders, your association collects the sponsorship first, then places the Gloozie order after funds are secured.
- For future direct orders, sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, or companies can use your branded storefront and partner link.
- Those future direct orders create non-dues revenue for your association without inventory, production, or shipping work.
What it costs
Custom orders start at 50 unitsA single Gloozie retails for $18. Custom-branded orders start at $12 per unit.
There is a one-time $50 setup fee per logo. Reorders with the same logo skip the setup fee. A typical 100-unit golf outing order is $1,250 all-in. Your association only pays after sponsor funds are secured.
Earn on reorders, too!
On top of the sponsorship margin, every order placed through your partner link earns your association a non-dues revenue royalty. You earn $1.00 per unit on the first 50 units, then $0.50 per unit on every unit after that, on each order through your link, with no inventory, production, or shipping work on your end.
The royalty is paid on every order placed through your association's link, and the more units an order includes, the more your association earns.
