THE GAME EVENT SILVER CROSS ON SERIE A1 TIM COURTS

This week-end, on Serie A1 TIM, there will be the second day dedicated to the GAME EVENT SILVER CROSS, a real promotional national tour for the Palasport of Serie A1, organized by Signorini Group together with Serie A1 TIM Clubs.

“In the last years” Andrea Signorini, marketing manager of Signorini Farmaceutici explain “we chose sport as main comunication tool; our idea is to develop the diffusion of brand such as Silver Cross and Integra Sport, with the sport itself, because we believe that, sport can pass emotions, besides get the champion closer to our potential purchaser. In this season we increase the relationship with the volleyball world because we realized that volley represents a true sport, full of pasion, in a friendly enviroment that hardly can be found in another sport. With the Game Event Silver Cross we would like to bring in the arenas our direct clients, so that chemists and their families will be able to personally see the sport qualities of the volleyball world, besides been able to show to the crowd some of our products. In fact on sunday at the entry of PalaValentia the Siver Cross hostesses will give to the crowd for free a Silver Cross product, while at the end of the game the Silver Cross prize will be rewarded to most fighting player of the match”.
