Financial services giant Citibank North America has stepped up the ante for market share, name and brand recognition along the USA's eastern seaboard. As the country’s largest financial institution these announcements have industry implications and strengthen the trend of corporate involvement in high profile naming opportunities in the non-profit sector.

In what should be seen as one of the boldest moves of acquiring naming rights, Citibank just announced two blockbuster agreements on November 9th and 10th.

The first deal involves the Wang Center for the Performing Arts in Boston for about $36 million. The fifteen year agreement should be seen as more than just a giant load of cash landing on the doorsteps of the non-profit arts group.

The next day on November 10th, the multi-national banker / financial services giant, closed a deal to re-name Shea Stadium in New York, home of the baseball playing New York Mets. An official announcement pegged that deal to be close to $20 million.

But look at the way it plays out on the corporate stage. On the Citibank web site the announcement about the naming deal with the professional baseball team is labeled as a Strategic Sponsorship.

While the very next story in the Citibank news archives lists the naming rights agreement for the Wang Center under the title of, ”Supporting our Community”. Isn’t that interesting?

3 Reasons To Develop Effective Leaders Fast In Your Home Business
In brick and mortar businesses, profitability and success rests on developing leadership within the organization. As we realize the importance of team leaders in the workplace, the type of leadership developed in an MLM home business is different.Contrary to a traditional business, leaders in a network marketing business are on the same playing field. They are in the sense because they are CEOs of their businesses just like the person that recruited them. In a traditional business, developing leaders means grooming each employee to be the best at their respective positions. Imagine if suddenly everyone shared the CEO position. This would result in chaos because there’s the need of a corporate structure.And developing a leader can mean training somebody that could replace the manager.The total opposite happens in an MLM business as le

Romania on the Rise: Investing in Eastern Europe
"Moscow aside, if you look at central and eastern Europe, Bucharest is probably the biggest and most interesting opportunity for property investors right now," says Edit Vesser, corporate director for CB Richard Ellis in Bucharest in an article recently published by the esteemed Irish Times.In February 2005, I first alerted readers of Escape Artist to the incredible potential latent in the Eastern European country of Romania. Several readers who contacted me purchased land through a realtor that I advised them of in an area outside of the city limits of Bucharest at 40 Euro per square meter. That land today is now fetching an estimated 200 Euro per square meter.I was cautioned by colleagues to refrain from quoting the above figures as they seem quite sensational. Indeed, they are representative of unique successes and do not represent the a

Advertising on a Budget -- Part 2: Thinking Small
This is the second article of a three-part series. I'm illustrating the marketing challenges of a small business, PrescottWeddings.com.Our goal was to both build the PWC brand and drive traffic to the Web site. Advertising regularly was essential.

We "thought small."We bought one inch by two column inch ads (a column inch in this particular publication is approx. 1.88 inches). The ads were one inch high and almost 4 inches long.To reflect the small ad, the copy also had to be short and sweet. Like so:www.PrescottWeddings.com.

According to Boston Mayor Thomas Mennino the involvement of Citibank will provide a needed boost to the city’s theater district. Survey results suggest that the arts community brings in over $6 million in tourism dollars to the area every year.

Now here is where it gets interesting.

Citibank just opened its’ first office at 491 Bolyston St. in Boston in October 2006, quickly followed by a second location at 100 Cambridge St.. How about that? Just in time to welcome new customers right after the naming rights deal was announced. Good planning on the part of Citibank.

For those that know that part of the country, Citibank is doing battle with its’ international rival Credit-Suisse and what used to be called Credit-Suisse First Boston. Taking a page from the competition, the New Yorkers at Citibank decided on a strategy that brings them into a dynamic and wealthy market through the side door and with a very big splash of publicity.

The soft sell announcement to the press about the commitment to the Wang Center is more like a thin veil that shrouds the intensive drive to capture a slice of market share for Citigroup’s banking and especially the very profitable wealth management division.
