This article is for people who are looking for sponsorship for the first time or raising their sponsorship levels to a new high. This information will assist you in meeting all your goals.
Abraham Lincoln said ?a goal properly set is halfway reached.? All goals for a sponsor for your show seem lofty at first. You may not have a lot of people around you to support the dream. Just understand that everyone has started at the bottom. You can also reach a goal that is properly set. Most people are afraid to ask for money. They are afraid it will be too much. If you are not sure how much to ask for you have to start by guessing. Then ask and see what the response is. Some companies will tell you that they only put half that amount into these types of campaigns. The will be great information for you. It?s free research! Set the sponsorship goal properly and get comfortable with the amount. If you are not comfortable with the amount, no matter how low it is, you won?t ask for it.
Write your sponsorship goals down and look at them daily. You would be surprised how much off course you can be when you do not do this. You get busy with other things. You do not work towards the goal because it is not top of the mind. You can begin to work on putting out fires instead of getting into the groove of getting the sponsors. Write it down and look at it daily. You can even put it on a wall that you will look at.
Make sure your sponsor goals do not overlap. I once had 2 different weight loss sponsors on the show. It was exciting for me, less so for the smaller sponsor. Make sure all sponsors have their own area that does not overlap and everyone will be a happy camper!
If you have courage you can do these things: write your goals, make sure they do not over lap and get an amount that works.
