I a lua duzin� de po�t� electronic� �i socialist media approaches fiecare s�pt�m�n� de la oameni privire pentru sponsorship de lor website, afacere, televiziune manifestare, document, educativ, sau whatever. Meu publicare cu this isn’t that ei s�nt contact eu – I’m fericit la spre inim� de la orice de tu! – numai that so mul�i seem la spre have un misguided notion de ce sponsorship is.

�n caz de website, televiziune, �i document “sponsorship”, 99% de la examples Eu v�d aren’t sponsorship la tot. Offering interzis ads, rezultat sau logo placement, acknowledgements de cin�, backlinks, etc does nu Ecuator la spre un sponsorship, numai un media buy. (�i “sponsoring” art.hot. telecast de un sear� is nu art.hot. same as sponsoring art.hot. sear� – it’s de asemenea chiar un targeted media buy.) I’m nu saying ace�tia investments don’t have value, numai it �ntr-adev�r is un entirely different animal.

UN sponsorship is un culegere de benefits �i entitlements that provide un rachiu cu un opportunity la spre a lua un economie de pia�� result. Art.hot. way ei a lua that result is g�t leverage – proactively doing things cu art.hot. benefits la spre achieve special objectives. Leverage a putut a cuprinde adding value la spre lor target markets’ sear� sau rachiu experiences, promotions, involving lor staff, integrating cu alt media activities, a crea socialist media platform�, �i much much mai mult. Sponsorship is reciproc �i despre nurturing relationships, �i has both art.hot. emotional greutate – oameni �ntr-adev�r caring despre ce is being sponsored – �i art.hot. critical masaj la spre a fi un catalog pentru alt economie de pia�� activities.

UN media buy is un outbound comunic�ri strategy. Acesta este buying timp sau perioad� �n�untru care la spre showcase un rachiu sau rachiu mesaj. Media buys e�ti ce ei s�nt, �i e�ti nu leverageable. Dac� tu can’t imagine un companie running un advertisment sau embarking on un PR campaign sau a dezvolta un staff program sau a crea un socialist media hub around ce you’re a vinde, it’s nu sponsorship.

As un example, I was recently approached by ni�te privire pentru “sponsorship” de lor website. Ei were offering interzis reclam�, links, rachiu tot �nc� o dat� art.hot. site, �i participation �n e-newsletter. That Mai well a fi un valuable investment, pentru art.hot. right rachiu, numai it’s nu leverageable. Serios, po�i tu imagine orice rachiu taking this sus �i apoi atunci running un series de magazin ads pe ei around lor activities on that website? Embarking on un socialist media campaign? A crea un staff program? Eu nici un.

De course acolo e�ti exceptions, numai nu foarte mul�i.

�i pentru tot tu deget mic companie cu mare ideas, numai nu bani, iar, that’s nu sponsorship. Tu e�ti privire pentru un financiar spate – un investor, silent partener, sau alb knight – cine voin�� a voi provide ni�te bani �n�untru �ntoarcere pentru (probably) un equity position. �i oameni privire pentru ni�te la spre “sponsor” lor educativ e�ti privire pentru benefactors.

�nainte al t�u organisation privire pentru societate sponsorship, tu nevoie la spre a asigura that ce tu e�ti offering �ntr-adev�r is sponsorship, �i art.hot. easiest way la spre afl� is la spre a intreba tu �nsu�i dac� acesta este leverageable sau nu. Dac� it’s nu leverageable, it’s nu sponsorship, �i it’s timp la spre a lua un different approach.

Dac� you’re �ntr-adev�r a vinde un media buy, apoi atunci aceia e�ti art.hot. v�nz�tor channels tu nevoie la spre folos. Dac� ce tu �ntr-adev�r nevoie is un spate, al t�u primul chemare voi a fi la spre al t�u contabil. Don’t seek sponsorship dac� that’s nu ce you’re �ntr-adev�r a vinde, sau tu a putut risip� o mul�ime de timp �i effort care merge g�t un foarte tare proces aceasta este tot destined la spre fail.

It scrobeal� cu c��iva duzin� dr�gu� femei �n�untru portocal� autobuz mic- �mbr�cat cu nu apparent rachiu a �nso�i art.hot. Netherlands’ primul rotund meciuri. “Dutch supporters”, ei spuneau. FIFA correctly thought otherwise, apoi atunci f�cut chiar despre art.hot. t�mpit thing ei a putut have done.

Ce FIFA voi have done…

• A lua lor own megalomania jos contract.
• Rol� lor eyes la art.hot. lame a �nso�i la spre “ambush” art.hot. Cupa mondial� cu un low-impact, primul-generation visibility grab.
• Real that 36 dr�gu� fat� �edere together �n�untru portocal� �mbr�cat is nu mergi la harm art.hot. burete, specific dac� ei aveau done un bun job de leveraging lor masaj investment. (It was Budweiser, numai cum mul�i de tu knew that?)
• Inform art.hot. broadcaster nu la spre dwell on pe ei.

Dac� ei �ntr-adev�r vrut la spre a fi tare, ei a putut de asemenea have informed art.hot. femei that dac� ei �ntoarcere �n�untru that sau un similar a lua- sus, ei trec.de la will nu a fi allowed intrare la spre future jocuri.

Ce FIFA actually did…

• Eject art.hot. femei, �inere �i �ntrebare pe ei pentru patru or�.
• Arestat art.hot. ringleaders �n�untru contravention de anti-ambush legislation.
• A face Bavaria Bere �i lor model un global phenomenon.

Bun on tu, FIFA! You’ve nap un inconsequential, cosmetic ambush into art.hot. cel mai mare sponsorship poveste de la Cupa mondial�.

Actually, FIFA’s reaction was so predictable (as e�ti tot art.hot. variabil Cupa mondial� organisers �i art.hot. IOC) that Bavaria was probably banc� on FIFA la spre a face tot art.hot. rai lifting pentru pe ei! Tot art.hot. while, Nike is running ramp� cu viral vizual that actually is a crea economie de pia�� value pentru pe ei �i reducing art.hot. effectiveness de Adidas’ sponsorship.

Wake sus, organisers! It’s timp la spre oprire dwelling pe inconsequential �i scrobeal� tackling art.hot. mare publicare �n�untru ambush economie de pia��. C�nd art.hot. ICC (Cricket’s global ruling corp) scrobeal� care merge g�t fans’ r�coros �i dumping afar� lor Coca-Colas, it made Cricket Cupa mondial� burete, Pepsi, privire asem�n�tor un spoil sporturi. C�nd organisers de major sear� a face fans nap lor T- c�ma�� �ntors pe dos, it a face both art.hot. organisers �i art.hot. sponsors privire petty �i mean.

De ce a face organisers a face this? Fiindc� cel pu�in it arat� ca they’re doing ceva. Ce they’re nu doing, totu�i, is stopping art.hot. kind de ambush that durere lor sponsors. La spre a face that trec.de la will a cere pe ei la spre admit that ei can’t contract it, tell lor sponsors that mare leverage is lor cel mai bun defence, �i la spre work �i a fi flexible cu aceia sponsors la spre afl� leverage ideas that voin�� a voi work vizavi art.hot. entire sear� experience.

A face I think this voin�� a voi fiecare fericit? Nu, fiindc� being pedantic, sabre-rattlers is easier.

I’ve recently been involved �n�untru un ficat discu�ie on LinkedIn despre art.hot. value de online sponsorship submission format. Art.hot. r�spuns has been scufundare, la spre say art.hot. les�.

Ni�te oameni advocate lor folos, cet��ean doi principal reasons:

1. It allows pentru un m�r- la spre- m�r comparison de properties.
2. Acesta este un mai repede way de vetting sponsorships than care merge g�t stacks de unsolicited proposals �i a cere scrisori.

I s�nt nu un evantai de ace�tia format �n�untru orice way, although I a putea understand de ce ei au apendice. Pe valuri care se sparg de ��rm, it absolutely arat� ca un timp- a salva �i un objective assessment unealt�. Dac� tu privire un bit ad�nc, totu�i, acolo e�ti ni�te fatal flaws �n�untru this premise.

Sponsorships e�ti nu m�r

As pentru making m�r- la spre- m�r comparisons, fiecare sponsorship is so different, it trec.de la will a fi impossible la spre compact pe ei unless distilerie into art.hot. most basic de commodities. C�t de mult expunere, bilet, spital, etc pentru c�t de mult bani? Sponsorship simplu isnt’ un commodity industrial, s�u’ un a crea ideas industrial. Imagine dac� advertisment agen�ie had la spre pitch pentru afacere folosire un online format!

Sponsorship a veni �n�untru tot form� �i sizes, tot degrees de engagement �i creativity. Art.hot. huge sponsorship voin�� a voi tens de millions de impressions Mai privire bun on un format, numai offer foarte deget mic real value contra art.hot. objectives de un mature rachiu. Ei Mai a fi totally disengaged. Ei Mai a fi un nightmare la spre work cu. Tu po�i de asemenea a face enormous �ntoarcere de la mic sponsorships that e�ti leveraged creatively, numai pentru un burete la spre a vedea that potential, art.hot. propriu nevoie la spre a fi capabil la spre showcase art.hot. a crea leverage ideas that voin�� a voi a crea that �ntoarcere. Ni�te de la les� “sexy” sponsorships a putut provide art.hot. cel mai bun �ntoarcere, �i vice traducere. Nici unul de that – positive sau negative – voin�� a voi a veni afar� �n�untru un format.

Art.hot. value isn’t �n ce fel tu a lua, it’s ce tu a face cu it

C�nd tu invest �n�untru sponsorship, tu e�ti investing �n�untru opportunity. Acesta este leverage (aka “activation”) that provides art.hot. results. Art.hot. cel mai bun sponsorship seekers e�ti providing aceia a crea ideas pentru leverage �n�untru lor proposals, making it foarte simplu pentru un burete la spre a vedea cum ei a putea a face it work pentru lor rachiu.

Vechi school sponsorship seekers tell sponsors ce ei’ despre, list� art.hot. benefits, �i �n�untru efect, say “ tu figure it afar�”. That “figuring afar�” de ce’ �n�untru it pentru tu a lua un timp �ndelungat, numai thats’ exactly ce sponsors a ezat a aranja themselves sus pentru c�nd ei folos sponsorship submission format.

Dac� tu �ntr-adev�r nevoie la spre figure afar� care de aceia proposals submitted g�t un format voin�� a voi work pentru al t�u rachiu, tu nevoie la spre energie g�t art.hot. proces de idea dezvoltare. This a lua mult mai mult timp than reviewing art.hot. ideas that mare properties voin�� a voi provide la spre tu, dac� tu a da pe ei art.hot. scimbare. �i dac� un burete isnt’ preparat la spre energie g�t art.hot. proces de “ cum a putut noi a face this work pentru our rachiu”, apoi atunci ei s�nt making decisions despre cine la spre burete sau mai �ndep�rtat a considera �i cine nu la spre baz� on les� virgul� denominator mechanisms.

Meu recommendation: Sponsorship guidelines

Rather than a crea perete, cum despre sponsors  chiar being mai mult deschidere �i special despre al t�u nevoie. �i nu, a cuprinde art.hot. linie “ noi unic select sponsorships care adunare afar� nevoie” does nu �ar�. Tu ai la spretell art.hot. sponsorship seekers ce tu nevoie.

• A crea un a ezat a aranja de sponsorship guidelines �i a face it �ntr-adev�r simplu pentru seekers la spre a lua pe ei.
• A pune pe ei online, numai dont’ bury pe ei �ase links ad�nc on al t�u website.
• A asigura al t�u voicemail says, “ dac� tu nevoie la spre submit un proposal, a face pe plac la understand noi unic a considera properties that adunare our nevoie, as outlined �n sponsorship guidelines tu po�i afl� xyz”.
• A asigura fiecare point de intrare pentru sponsorship requests has accent la spre electronic copie. This a cuprinde rachiu conduc�tor, regional conduc�tor, v�nz�tor conduc�tor, �i senior executives ( cine often say “yes” chiar so ei don’t have la spre say “no” – this a da pe ei un afar�).
• A asigura al t�u switchboard knows that dac� ni�te chemare asking la spre “speak la spre ni�te despre sponsorship”, ei voi sincer pe ei la spre al t�u sponsorship guidelines online.
• Definitiv, a face it absolutely clar al t�u’ serios. Art.hot. primul semn un proposal doesnt’ completat, a trimite un po�t� electronic� telling pe ei that art.hot. proposal wasnt’ compliant �i dac� ei vor la spre a fi a considera, ei nevoie la spre a urma al t�u sponsorship guidelines.

Anecdotally, art.hot. num�r de proposals tu a lua voin�� a voi drop by around 60-75% �i art.hot. calitate de aceia proposals voin�� a voi ridicare dramatically. Ei voin�� a voi a fi mai mult comprehensive, a crea, �i objective- �ofer. I a lua o mul�ime de dragoste scrisori de la sponsors despre cum sponsorship guidelines have made lor ficat easier.

A lua al t�u drum liber,comprehensive sponsorship guidelines template.

Dac� tu folos un template as un starting point, a crea sponsorship guidelines a lua poate un or�. Tu vei probably have la spre a lua semn-off, care a putea a lua un bit de timp �i fin-tuning, numai meu experience is that tu a putut have pe ei on al t�u website �i �n m�inile tot de al t�u proposal touch points (electronically), such as rachiu conducere, local �i regional conducere, senior conducere (usually lor assistants), �i mai mult – cu despre doi s�pt�m�n�.

Sear� mai mic sponsors a putea benefit de la having bun sponsorship guidelines. Ei Mai nu have art.hot. masaj workload that a veni along cu hundreds sau thousands de proposals o lun�, numai ei lini�tit nevoie bun proposals that e�ti despre lor nevoie. I know mul�i mai mic �i mid-sized companie that e�ti foarte fericit cu art.hot. reduction �n�untru workload, �i especially art.hot. higher calitate de proposals, that ei a lua. I sear� know de mai mul�i companie that have guidelines pentru mai mic sponsorships (eg, pentru investments jos $2000) that e�ti nu as demanding as lor guidelines pentru mai larg sponsorships, numai lini�tit a cere un degree de strategic benefits �i ideas.

Ce despre sponsorship seekers?

Meu puternic advice la spre sponsorship seekers is la spre a nesocoti aceia format �i energie drept la rachiu conduc�tor. Dont’ pitch. Contact pe ei having done al t�u homework �i seek la spre plin �n gol so tu po�i a crea un customised, a crea proposal cu mare ideas pentru pe ei la spre leverage. Dac� ei tell tu that tu ai la spre submit via art.hot. format, ei au chiar told tu “ nu” �i basically didnt’ nevoie la spre a face it themselves. Energie ahead �i submit, numai art.hot. ultimate decision voin�� a voi pauz� cu art.hot. rachiu conduc�tor, �i dac� s/hes’ chiar a da tu art.hot. flick, s�u’ highly unlikely la spre a fi “ da”.

Pentru mai mult on gata art.hot. semn, I recommend meu blog, “�ase Semn un Burete Is Chiar Nu That into Tu”.

Pentru art.hot. �ntreg proces de offer dezvoltare �i v�nz�tor, I suggest meu carte,Art.hot. Sponsorship Seekers’ Unealt� 3rd A redacta.

Art.hot. upshot

Art.hot. upshot pentru tot concerned is that sponsorship submission format e�ti un false economie. Ei work unic �n�untru un mediu that rewards vechi school thinking �i constrain art.hot. a crea proces aceasta este tot part �i parcel cu gaining art.hot. cel mai bun �ntoarcere la art.hot. les� posibil spend.

By foarte,foarte popular demand, Ive’ a crea un zece-minute tutorial despre cum la spre a crea un sponsorship proposal that voin�� a voi a face al t�u offer suport afar�, increase al t�u value la spre potential sponsors, �i dramatically �ort al t�u odds pentru un “ da”.
