I'm not going to name any names, but every year in my historic, seaside society an occasion takes place to celebrate our town's maritime heritage. I've attended the last seven or eight. Therefore have a look at the following article taking us through the theme your business bill of rights when you support historical San Angelo Community Events.
But simply creating the occasion is not enough, advertising and promoting it is a must! Custom signs and banners are a great way to do just that. They can help make society members aware of the events, give directions for those who are new to the area, and just make the overall experience that much more successful.
Come summer; my town has a farmers market every Sunday right off the main highway. While that's a great place to have it to attract last-minute drivers riding by, they also have a cute little sign right in front of the property, advertising the time and dates so that people can plan on attending ahead of time, instead of having to turn around and find a parking spot last second.
Unfortunately, most of the nonprofits running these kinds of events don't "get" that contributions from businesses are, ultimately, supposed to benefit the business. It's not how they think. Adding a logo to a poster or a program is fine, but it's only a start. Instead, the nonprofit event planners need to ask the donor, "How can we make this work for you to make sure you achieve your business goals?"
If it's very late - way past regular store hours, you can stop by a convenience store instead since they are usually open twenty-four hours a day. Try to make as few stops as possible. Since you have very little time while going on an emergency supply run, try to make as few stops as possible.
Ask about the marketing/promotion plan for the event, and find out where you can be included. You will be told that your logo and your business name "will be included in all promotional materials." Okay, but where, exactly? Ask if you can provide a quote for the news release about why you are proud to support the event and a word about what you do. Provide a one-sentence descriptor to accompany your logo and business name wherever it appears.
Insist on a link to your Web site in social media messages, email blasts, and from their Web site. If there is a printed program for the incident, make sure you are in it. Perhaps, in the program, you want to make a special offer for incident attendees. You will be told that there isn't enough space to do what you ask in a publication or enough time to add links for "everyone, " or the organization has "never done it that way before." As someone who has provided services to the nonprofit sector for 20 years, I've heard it all. Push back!
