Getting Better Cut - Through with your sponsorship proposals
Presenter: Daniel Oyston, Director Sponserv
It is established that Return on Investment (ROO) is the most important factor for sponsors to renew a partnership but also that being able to clearly align benefits with stated objectives is crucial in bringing those sponsors on in the first place. But how do you actually do that? How do you align the right benefits with the objectives of a sponsor?
To help you out, the team at SponServe have broken down the most common core objectives of sponsorship. There are eight in total and in this workshop they will examine how you can align your benefits with them and deliver on the reason a brand is looking to sponsor you or renew.
