Corporate Sponsorship

1013 questions to get you started

Common Misconceptions

“My business is too small.

Sponsorship is for “big”

companies 

” “We cannot offer much value to

sponsors”.

By answering the following questions, you will realize that your company can add value to sponsors by building relationships with brands that fit your mission.

What is the benefit?

When seeking sponsorship, remember why they benefit. A company sponsors an event for either brand awareness, lead generation or corporate social responsibility. Provide examples and generate innovative ideas for brand building that will help your sponsor get the maximum bang for his buck. Understand their business needs and explicitly state and show what places can be branded, what activities can be done at the venue, and so on.

weary about what the outcome of their sponsorship will be. They might not get what they signed up for and end up losing money. In order to build your credibility as the host, provide the potential sponsor some information about previous events.

Testimonials from attendees and sponsors

Add some PR clippings List of previous
