Reaching the Military Market

The military market is a very desirable consumer target for the commercial world, and Force Support Squardron (FSS) activities are effective channels to that military market. FSS reaches the entire spectrum of the military community; active duty, retiree, civil service, federal employees, and reservists. Everyone at LRAFB is exposed to FSS. It is the life center of the base community. It manages various facilities and programs that contribute to the quality of life for members of our base community and their families. Those facilities include the base golf course, officers’ and enlisted clubs, bowling center, fitness & sports center, ticket and tours office, and many other recreational and support programs. Sponsorship is a great way to promote products or services, increase sales, and improve or change a company’s image. Effective commercial sponsorship matches a company’s products or services to a specific event or program that will be beneficial for both parties. Contact us today to arrange your sponsorship package.
