National Honey Board Sponsors Minor League Baseball®

null

In its seventh year of support, the National Honey Board (NHB) is pleased to announce its five sponsored MiLB™ teams for 2014. With honey as the official natural energy booster of each of the teams, the NHB will continue its honey education through in-park promotions and a broadcast media presence.

The 2014 promotion will include electronic and billboard ballpark signage that will be displayed throughout the 2014 MiLB season. In addition, each ballpark will host between-innings honey trivia spots to directly engage fans in the honey messaging efforts. For a broadcast media presence, the NHB's Natural Energy Play of the Game will be featured on each team's live play-by-play radio broadcast. NHB will also sponsor the Kiss You Honey cam in an effort to encourage fan participation.

"We've really enjoyed working with Minor League Baseball," said Bruce Boynton, CEO of the NHB. "It's a great opportunity to reach out to the fans, showcasing honey's versatility, as well as highlighting it as an all-natural energy booster."

This year's sponsorship of MiLB will continue to incorporate free team cap offers and discounts on team merchandise for baseball fans. All offers are tied to the proof of purchase (with original receipt) of a bottle of pure honey. This program is designed to increase the awareness and consumption of honey while offering baseball fans discounts on official team souvenir merchandise. The honey purchase incentive program will be supported through radio and television promotions, in-park PA announcements, marketing handouts at the fan service desk and team merchandise stores of each ballpark, as well as banner ads on each of the team's website.
