What is Sponsorship, Really?
![Page 5: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Sponsorship, Really?At it’s heart, sponsorship aims to achieve one of two things:
Helps your sponsors get something they want but don’t have (customers, leads, brand awareness)
Solves a problem they have but don’t want (brand confusion, bad reputation, lack of customers)

Why start here?
Your inventory tells you who you should be talking toIt guides your budget! No assets, no salesIt gets your leadership, board, admin staff…everyone on the same pageMajor sponsorship requires a major inventory!

Congratulations!You now have an inventory list…
…but what is each asset worth?
![Page 11: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Current Valuation Practices
• Tiered sponsorship packages
• Doing what you did last year
• Starting with how much money you need
• Shoulder shrug method
![Page 12: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Solution?• Make a list of every single asset you have to offer, without exception
• Look at how much it will cost your sponsor to get the same exposure elsewhere
• Determine the value of your tangible and intangible assets
• Don’t forget to add a “bump” to the tangible items based on the value of your brand
• Look to newspapers, digital media, social media advertising, a cross section of similar properties
![Page 13: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Valuation Case Study• Two identical properties, different geographies…same sponsor!
• Property A is giving away space for product and samples as a “value add” to a sponsor
• Property A is afraid to charge for this as they fear they will lose the sponsor
• Property B did a valuation and that same asset, to the same company for the same property goes for…

$50,000
![Page 15: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Valuation 101Many approaches, the two most popular:
1) The market valuation approach applies a value to every logo placement, booth, ad, speaking engagement etc.
2) The value method is easier but is more art than science. You determine that the sponsorship of the wine is worth two or three times the cost to purchase the wine and recognize your sponsors.
![Page 16: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sample Valuation Template
Wine Sponsorship
Wine $750.00
Signage $175.00Branded tent cards $125.00
Logo on website $375.00
Logo on invitation $500
Ad in program $250.00
Cost per view at event ($5 X 250) $1250.00
Sub Total $2925.00
If you use the “value” method then this would be a $3150 sponsorship (3 X the hard costs)
In this case, the two methods reach the same number, but this is rare

Let’s Prospect!
![Page 18: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prospecting is a Numbers Game
Start with your assets and ask:
A. Who is coming to your event?
B. Who does your brand appeal to?
C. Who would want to know about this opportunity?
Look to your board
Look to your committee
Ask current sponsors for referrals
Look to your direct competition
Look to other orgs that are not competitive but appeal to a similar demographic eg. Top 40 under 40, Toastmasters, Professional Designations, Professional Education

Does Your Board Suffer From the Dreaded“Nocontactitis”?
![Page 20: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Cure to “Nocontactitis”
![Page 21: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sponsor Recruiting TipsTreat board and committee members like sponsors! E-blasting them asking for “contacts” won’t work. Meet them for coffee and ask for help
Research your board members and current sponsors and go with a list of people you know they are connected to
Use LinkedIn to determine who is in your network and work in concentric circles, starting with those closest to you
The power of the advice visit! Ask your contacts to meet and ask them for advice as to who else you should meet and what assets you’re missing. Ask them who they can introduce you to. Be specific
Ask for referrals: current sponsors, volunteers, committees, investors, board, business contacts and service providers, your own referral network
![Page 22: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Throw a Party!The business breakfast!
Networking events
One on one advice visits
Ask people for “pre-qualified” contacts
“Friday Five”

Sometimes You Have to Go in Cold
Ask for an intro from all of the sources we’ve covered
Write the e-mail for them, all they have to do is forward
Find something in common and warm up that call with an e-mail
…but not just any e-mail!
![Page 24: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Three Rules to E-Mail Success!
1. No more than two sentences. No exceptions!2. Never send a proposal, your mission, your website
etc. The only action you want them to take is to hit reply or forward
3. Never tell them what you need, instead ask them something
4. Top secret rule number four: “Will Alison’s Boss Read This?”
![Page 25: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Why Bring Nothing?“When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.”
~ Mitch Hedberg
![Page 36: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Here’s What Else it Does:You tell your prospect that you don't care about them or their needsYou care about telling them something vs hearing somethingYou have assumptions about what they want and what they can do for you, and what you can do for themMost importantly, it robs you of accomplishing the only goal of the first meeting: to get the second meeting!
![Page 37: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
So What DO You Bring?
Lots and lots and lots of questions!
![Page 38: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Five Questions for Every Prospect
1. Who is your target audience?2. How do you normally engage in sponsorship?3. What does your target market value?4. What can you tell me about your sales goals for the coming year?5. What would you consider to be the most important elements of a
sponsorship package?
![Page 39: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Now we can make a sponsorship package!
![Page 40: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Sponsorship Proposals 101Gold, Silver, Bronze is dead! Customize, customize, customize!
Think menu, not “levels"
Add all of the things they told you they value, apply your valuation tool and create your package!
Some sections will be standard, like who you are, the rest is custom
Mark it DRAFT and send it to your prospect to ask them for their thoughts
![Page 41: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

I’ve Got the Money! I’m all done…right!?!
Not quite! Now it’s time for Activation!
It is your responsibility to ensure that your sponsor gets everything they paid for
Tickets? Ads? Logo placement? Press? Not only do you have to deliver but you are going to send them a report proving you delivered
![Page 43: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Common Errors• Not planning at least 10% of your
budget for activation expenses
• Not charging for this as part of your valuation!
• Not coaching your sponsors to invest money in activation
• If they have 10K to spend, don’t sell them a 10K package! Make sure they can activate properly
• Ambush marketing

Your Mother was Right!
Don’t forget to say thank you!(Twice! Once in English and once in the language of marketing)

What is a Fulfillment Report?
• Doing what you said you would…and proving it!
• It gives your sponsors a tool to prove to their internal decision makers that they got the ROI they expected
• Sets you up for renewing the sponsorship within weeks of the event or end of your campaign
![Page 47: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Fulfillment Report Basics • Take a picture of every single thing you promised
your sponsor: logos, program ads, people…everything!
• Get a sample of everything you promised your sponsor
• Take screen shots of web traffic and logo placement, social media and earned/purchased media
• Put it all together in a report with stats from your event or program along with all of the pictures and samples and call a meeting!
![Page 48: Major and Title Sponsorship: The Five Stages · marketing firm focused exclusively on: • Sponsorship strategy • Inventory building and asset valuation • Sponsorship coaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041122/5f37bcc35840bc6cf60ec6e9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

RenewalNow you can relax…right?
Deliver your report and ask your sponsor what they thought, what they would change and what they want more of
Now for the fun part! Ask them what you should change in order for them to come back next year
Ask if you can send over a draft for their feedback
And now we’re right back where we started…but within a week of the closing of your event
How would you like to go into your next budget cycle having 80% of your sponsors already sold?
