    Why should you sponsor?

    Brand Visibility

    Sponsorships put your brand visuals in front of large audiences who haven’t heard of your business. The bigger the event, the more press and social media mentions you get before, during, and after the event day. With many sponsorships, you get featured ads, signs, or radio spots that boost brand recognition.

    If you plan promotional giveaways, a huge number of people will be toting your branded swag. Quality matters, so choose events with a track record of attracting good press and customers.

    Consumer Perception

    Few people are motivated to check out a store that always looks sad, shabby, and empty. Likewise, online shoppers are turned off by e-commerce sites with no branding, business details, or security certificates. Public perception can make or break your business.

    On the other hand, customers form positive opinions when your business is tied to high-profile events. Customers will assume your business is reliable and reputable if you can sponsor other organizations.

    In a 2016 survey, the Event Marketing Institute found that 74 percent of consumers are more likely to buy products after exposure to a branded event marketing experience. Use the clout you earn as a sponsor to grow your reputation in your community.

    Efficient Lead Generation

    Think about the amount of time you normally spend hunting for 10 qualified leads. How about 20, 50, or 100? Not only do events bring you a host of compatible customers, but they also show the human side of your business.

    Forming an emotional connection is half the battle of building brand loyalty. By attending in person, you can learn about customers, promote your products, and build a mailing list.

    Event holders typically provide data about attendees or attendance rates in advance. Do your research well, and you can plan a strategy for meeting as many people as possible.

    Sales Goals

    Along with leads, consumer events allow you to rack up sales on the spot. Picture a restaurant that sponsors a local music venue or sports team. Setting up a branded booth to feed hungry fans is an easy way to get new business. Many companies make the bulk of their purchases at trade shows, and you can quickly earn their respect as a sponsor.

    If sales are your top priority, choose an event with high foot traffic and few direct competitors.  For bigger events, you can often pay more for category exclusivity. That way, you don’t have to worry about selling the same products as another vendor.

    Community Goodwill

    Strengthening your business image is one of the most valuable benefits of event sponsorship. Customers love brands that care about spreading positive messages and helping the community. Linking your business to a worthy cause can draw lasting support and media attention.

    Community involvement also sets you apart from larger brands. People have more incentive to support your business if you’re invested in the local community. Find out what matters to customers, and pick causes that align with their values to boost loyalty.

    8. Audience Insights

    Established organizations and member associations often hand out data about the event performance. In ESP’s findings, 46 percent of sponsors considered post-event reports to be extremely valuable. Thirty percent valued business ideas they gained from events, and 34 percent valued info on audience perceptions.

    Event sponsorship is a beneficial learning experience for new and veteran business owners. After all, a roomful of great minds is better than one. You get a firsthand look at how other businesses differentiate themselves and attract customers.

    Business Relationships

    Are you in the market for new partnerships or supplier relationships? Events are great places to find non-competing businesses you can collaborate with in the future.

    Small business owners are busy folks, so most are happy to share leads and cut their legwork in half. Find out what businesses are participating, and prepare pitches to introduce yourself to key players.

    Return on Investment

    Whether you plan to sell or not, events are about starting quality relationships. The goal is to leave with a list of leads to follow up on afterward. You don’t necessarily need to make a huge profit on event day, as long as you have a long-term way to leverage your investment.

    In ESP’s survey, 55 percent of sponsors said their return on investment increased from 2016 to 2017. To make the most of your event sponsorship, decide what you want to achieve before you go. Come up with a metric to measure your efforts, so you know if an event is worth attending again.

    The benefits of event sponsorship are endless if you put in the effort to forge connections. Take advantage of every resource the event holder offers to help businesses, especially as a new participant.

    Just like any other transaction, sponsorship roles can be negotiable. Before you sign any contracts, make sure the agreement gives you the level of exposure you want.

      Five years ago a small event began; The Waxahachie Guitar Show. The vision at that time was to bring a quality guitar show to Ellis Co. showcasing vintage, custom built, and new guitars along with a variety of other equipment. We are proud to announce the 5th Annual Waxahachie Guitar Show in 2019, and two shows in Lewisville TX.
