SME Golf Tournament · Thursday, June 11, 2026 · Palmas Athletic Club

A sponsorship that isn't paid,
it's proven.

punto.pio proposes a value-swap alliance with zero cash cost for SME & Grupo Guayacán: a Wellness Oasis with Chicken Therapy on the course and a year of fresh eggs as a flagship prize. We bring creativity, product, and experience: the same sales and marketing ingenuity that EnterPRize rewards.

The offer, in one line

Cash cost for SME: $0.00

Strategic Context

Why this alliance makes sense for both

The SME tournament funds the $10,000 SME Award in Grupo Guayacán's EnterPRize Competition, a cause celebrating Boricua startups that grow through ingenuity and good marketing. We wanted to support it the best way we know how: not with a check, but with an activation that brings a genuine experience to the tournament and reflects our creative and memorable way of building a brand.

For SME

A memorable and photogenic experience on the course, a healthy prize that gets talked about, and a richer raffle. We set up and operate everything ourselves at $0 cost, without taking up a paid commercial slot.

For Guayacán / EnterPRize

We contribute to the ecosystem that drives Puerto Rican entrepreneurs and enrich the event that funds it, with real brand, product, and execution on the day of the tournament.

For punto.pio

Exposure to +120 executives, business owners, and sales & marketing leaders: potential clients, partners, and the visibility we seek within Puerto Rico's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Contribution 1 · On-Course Activation

Wellness Oasis
«Chicken Therapy» by punto.pio

A pause along the way on the course, where players take a break to hold and pet our Silkie chickens (Japanese Silkie), which are docile, have plush-like plumage, and are absolutely calm. A sensory breather between holes that becomes the talking point of the tournament.

Wellness with real backing. The HenPower project, evaluated by Northumbria University, documented that living with chickens improves mood and reduces stress. And a study by Washington State University found that just 10 minutes of animal contact lowers cortisol: exactly the duration of a break between holes.

Photogenic magnet. The cuteness of the Silkies generates spontaneous organic content, associating SME and its sponsors with warmth, ingenuity, and exclusivity.

Networking magnet. The oasis pauses teams and sparks natural conversation, creating a relaxed meeting point for executives.

Contribution 2 · Signature Prize

A prize that rolls
all year long

We donate an annual subscription of fresh eggs to SME to be featured as a prize in the raffle, or as a trophy for one of the tournament categories (e.g., Closest to the Pin). While other prizes are consumed in one night, the winner remembers punto.pio (and SME) each time they receive their eggs over 12 months.

Flexible: SME decides how to activate it: main raffle, category prize, or gift for the winning company of the SME / EnterPRize Award. We adapt.

Value Swap Table

What We Deliver · What We Ask

An alliance with $0.00 cash cost for SME, delivering real value to the event and in-kind recognition for punto.pio.

We don't play, and it's on purpose. Armando and Yari operate the Oasis all day, so we decline the 2 player slots included in the package. Since we also do not provide cash for the prize, we prefer not to take up competition slots: this way we don't compete for prizes, leaving every slot for someone who actually plays. That's why we discount the value of those slots from the recognition we request.

What We Deliver (In-Kind)

A Year of Fresh Eggs · 720 premium eggs, one year home delivery$500

Our Marketing Thesis

Being where our audience is

We follow a simple positioning principle. Rolls-Royce understood that its next client wasn't at large auto shows, but among those attending private aviation exhibits, yacht clubs, and golf courses. That's why it stopped competing for attention at mass trade shows and brought its brand to these exclusive spaces, where it's experienced up close and among the people who can truly purchase it.

punto.pio adopts that same philosophy. Instead of scattering our message, we bring our premium eggs and sensory experience to spaces where those who value authenticity and high quality gather, like a golf or yacht club. The SME Golf Tournament is not just an event for us: it is exactly the channel where our brand belongs. Sponsponsoring in-kind allows us to demonstrate this thesis live, and adds an ally for SME that approaches marketing with the same precision that celebrates this partnership.

Precision Channel

Few contacts, the right ones. Quality of audience over quantity.

Experience over Impression

The brand is remembered when touched and felt, not just when seen.

Brand that is lived

Positioning premium quality among those who appreciate it, in their own environment.
