What's the best way to choose a sponsorship platform for your sports program?
Be sure to add some creative kapow to your offering to ensure if emotionally connects with prospective sponsors. Firstly, bring your sponsorship assets to life by showing potential brands and partners some ideas around how they could utilise or activate your platform. Better still provide some design mock-ups so they can easily visualise their brand as part of your sponsorship property. Lastly, don’t forget to ensure a flow and tell a story within your sponsorship proposal rather than just listing facts. Bold imagery and visual ‘words’ can be a powerful way to help capture the interest of future sponsorship partners.
