Make a list of potential sponsors
This is the first step towards the success of the sponsorship. Not just your immediate group of friends, family and business - think big! Most companies have set aside a "sponsorship" of money that can be given every year. It is important to keep this as soon as possible, as these funds evaporate quickly, and will not expect. Also, consider how you can help. Companies are more likely to give money if they get something in return. I'll cover this more in the next point. For now, this is a list of sponsors who have worked for me and others in the past:
* Local restaurants (most of the local chain of restaurants owned by franchisees who want to promote their location)
* Local shops (souvenir shops, nutrition centers, dry cleaning, formal dress shops, clothing stores, specialty stores, coffee)
* For professionals (dentists, cosmetic dentists, doctors, fitness trainers, spas and salons, weight loss centers, diet, insurance companies, chiropractors, massage therapists, manicurists, tanning salons, and locally owned businesses that can benefit sponsorship in some way - Get Creative!)
* Family and Friends
How does it better than an ad in the local newspaper?
Potential investors can give you the money to finance the trip if they can see how it is commercially viable for them. Prepare a letter or a call to dialogue with a piece that focuses on why it is advantageous for them to sponsor you. For example, if you are vying for the Miss Oklahoma, and last year you placed second runner has a title, it is important to know the sponsorship. Tell them why it makes sense, give you money, think about the facts that make sense to share. 5000 was a program of books sold last year in the game of the State? The average price I've seen full-page advertisements in the state of publication is divided into about $ 1,500. Show them how their sponsorship is economically wise.
If you already have a local title and a professional head shot is worth seeing, let us know! Tell them that if they sponsor, will receive not only the ad in the program book, but are given a personally signed photo shot in the head that can display your business. In my local Deli McAlister, I see it all the time. The holders of government securities with signed photos on the walls. Imagine how many people come to the deli every day and view photos and connect the holder and the organization of the flesh - a lot! This type of sponsorship is beneficial to both parties. If you can provide viable reasons for a company to give you money, it is more likely to get it. Companies care less about the fact that you are competing in a contest, and more in the way of your sponsorship can benefit your business.
Why it's better for them to invest 300 million dollars in its advertising efforts to use somewhere else? Arriving at the rate of its own, and businesses. Have you spent much time developing its platform, volunteering, fundraising for a cause, well in school and receive rewards? They feel confident in your investment.
Connect and Follow-up
Have you ever heard the saying "to get what no one else is finding what you need to do what no one else does?" This is where most participants lose support of potential sponsors. Development of a sponsorship letter with a stamped envelope is an excellent way to ensure sponsors, but you must consider how much mail these companies or individuals receive a daily basis. Most companies are twenty or more pieces of mail a day, you're likely to get lost in the mix. Apply in person. Followed by a phone call, or better yet come to their store and talk to them personally. What better way to say "I can help you if you want to help me" but to demonstrate and show off your polished appearance and interpersonal skills. I recently heard a statistic that in the wedding industry business, most of the reservations usually occur after 10 follow-up, but most companies will stop trying after the second follow-up.
Those who leave after the second follow-up is leaving a large percentage of sales to those who are persistent, the same applies to you with their sponsors. Most people recognize that their letter was not sent only to them. Think of ways you can build a relationship with these companies without having to call each of them every week, creating a blog, Facebook page, Twitter, or mailing list. When people feel connected to something or someone feels compelled to provide sponsorship support.
Develop and implement a plan!
I created a bullet-pointed to a flowchart, you can follow when developing your financial plan for the game.
* Make a list of potential sponsors and their contact information (type and print it for you to keep)
* Brainstorm ways that sponsors can take advantage of funding its own game objectives
* Create a sponsorship letter that can be used as a model
* Make your letter of sponsorship with a letter and a stamped envelope is already taken
* Assemble all materials for the binder, so you can see who sent you the letters, check the sponsors, who have given you, and know that you follow.
* Track your sponsors in one of the ways listed above - ensure that at least one of the times you've followed in a way that is personal. (Telephone calls or personal visits.)
* Write thank you if someone gives you money or help you with your competition goals write them a personal thank you note. It is not only an expression of gratitude in a heartfelt way, but you set up to potentially be a continuing sponsor the next time you make a beauty contest.
This is the basic means to get your show fully funded effort. You can be very successful in obtaining everything you need for your competition if you want to connect with people, build relationships, be organized, and be persistent with your goals of sponsorship.
