Abstract: The research purpose is to probe into the consumers' purchasing motives with the retailer that owns a sport team and to determine if such motives contain the support of the sport team and other factors regarding the championship marketing campaigns launched by the retailers. The analysis of consumers' motives is made through a questionnaire survey on consumers and the method of factor analysis. The research result shows that the purchasing motives of consumers who patronise the store of a retailer who sponsors a sport team during a championship promotional period include both rational and emotional factors. As emotionally supporting factor and advertising and promotional factor are sports-related purchasing motives, the actual result from a sport game could have an impact on consumers' spending. Based on the empirical result, this study addresses how the distribution and sales activities should be arranged in response to the game result given the uncertainties in it.
