4. Why Sponsorship? • Increase brand loyalty • Create awareness & visibility • Drive retail traffic • Showcase community responsibility • Narrowcasting (The ability for a company to hone in on a niche market without any waste.) • Merchandising opportunities • EXCLUSIVE access to an audience • Combat larger ad budgets of competitors • Achievement of multiple objectives. (Sponsorship offers the possibility of achieving • several goals at once. Most companies expect the medium to deliver a combination of the • above benefits.)

5. Troubling Times Ahead? Traditional advertising mediums such as broadcast, print and the internet are expected to see a 4.2% decrease in revenue for this fiscal year. However…sponsorships are expected to rise by approximately2.2% for a projected N. American spend of $16.79 billion. Why…Sponsorships allow companies to engage their target audience in a way that no other medium can provide. It puts brands in hands and creates an actual experience or connection that traditional advertising simply can’t provide. Factoid: Many Fortune 1000 companies are now dedicating over 25% of their total marketing budget to sponsorship programs.

19. Things A Perspective Sponsor WILL Take Into Consideration When Evaluating Your Event • Timing, Timing, Timing! • Budget cycle. • Endemic VS. non-endemic fit. • Audience / Client fit. • The ability for them to “Activate” their brand. • Inclusion in marketing collateral. • Does it bring value to their customers? • Is it inline with their current marketing strategies? • Cross promotional opportunities.

20. What does this mean to me and is my event sponsorable? A few key questions to consider…. • When is your event or program? • Who is your audience? • How many of them will your program reach? • Quantity vs. Quality? • Are you talking to the right person? • Are there programs similar to yours in the market? • Who are the endemic fits? • What do I have to offer a sponsor?
