As an events and marketing company committed to supporting nonprofits, we understand the critical role sponsorships play in the success of your events. Securing sponsorships not only provides financial support but also cultivates partnerships that amplify your cause, expand your reach, and provide opportunity for future support. The current sponsorship climate is challenging: We’re seeing fewer sponsors at lower amounts and fewer donations. To help you boost sponsorships for your nonprofit events, we've curated some innovative strategies designed to elevate your sponsorship game. Tailored Partnership Packages Craft personalized sponsorship packages that align with each sponsor's values and objectives. Highlight the unique ways their support can make a tangible impact on your cause. Specific Perks vs. Vague Labels Avoid themed sponsorship levels like “lion” vs. “jaguar” or “cultivator” vs. “planter” – these terms don’t convey meaning or hierarchy to potential sponsors. Today’s savvy sponsors want straightforward explanations of their return on investment. If you stick with the traditional silver, gold, and platinum sponsorship tiers, remember to list tangible benefits. Sponsorship tiers tied to one aspect of your event are increasingly popular. For example, a “bar sponsor” may invest $5,000 to sponsor your event’s bar in exchange for branded cocktails named after your sponsor and customized napkins and bar signage featuring the sponsor’s logo. A 'safety sponsor' may support your festival with an investment to be the sole naming sponsor for the ride share pick up area and water station. Providing exposure and value are of utmost importance. Enhanced Digital Presence Leverage the power of digital platforms to showcase sponsor visibility. Develop engaging content, such as sponsor spotlights, behind-the-scenes glimpses, or dedicated social media campaigns, highlighting sponsors' contributions and involvement. Collaborative Experience Opportunities Create opportunities for sponsors to actively engage with event attendees. Interactive booths, sponsored activities, or workshops aligned with sponsors' expertise can deepen attendee interaction and leave a lasting impression. Encourage sponsors to share their knowledge or products in ways that enrich the event experience. Impactful Storytelling Craft compelling narratives that emphasize the shared values between your nonprofit and potential sponsors. Showcase real stories of impact, illustrating how sponsorships directly contribute to making a difference in the community. Personalized storytelling can create an emotional connection and resonate deeply with potential sponsors. Effective brand storytelling enhances nonprofit marketing efforts. Data-Driven Insights Utilize data analytics to demonstrate the tangible returns on investment for sponsors. Provide post-event reports showcasing key metrics, attendee demographics, and engagement insights. Show your sponsors how many monthly visitors will see their logo on your website or how many followers will see your social media post thanking them for supporting your mission. Concrete data illustrating the reach and impact of their sponsorship can attract and retain sponsors for future events. Year-Round Engagement Establish ongoing communication with sponsors beyond the event. Offer year-round partnership opportunities that extend beyond event day. This could include exclusive networking events, co-branded campaigns, or acknowledgment in regular newsletters to maintain the relationship and demonstrate ongoing value. Don’t miss out on potential year-round donors who may prefer a long-term partnership to a single event investment. Sustainable and Ethical Branding Showcase how your event aligns with sponsors' corporate social responsibility goals. Incorporate eco-friendly practices, ethical sourcing, or charitable initiatives that resonate with sponsors who prioritize social impact. Innovative sponsorships thrive on creativity, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both your nonprofit's mission and your potential sponsors' needs. By implementing these strategies, you can cultivate meaningful partnerships that go beyond financial support, creating a lasting impact and expanding the reach of your cause. At BIG DEAL Company, we're dedicated to helping nonprofits elevate their events and secure impactful sponsorships. Contact us today to explore how we can collaborate to make your next event a resounding success. As a collective of experts, BIG DEAL Company specializes in creativity. With superior organization, marketing experience and original ideas, we pull off amazing events and campaigns!

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, create derivative works, or in any other way exploit any part of our materials without the prior written permission from My Big Day LLC As we stand on the threshold of a new year, our industry and our clients are buzzing with excitement and questions about what lies ahead. From the evolution of technology to the changing preferences of event attendees, the landscape of events continues to transform. Here are nine predicted event trends for 2024 our BIG DEAL team thinks will hold true in the year to come. Micro events Micro events are smaller events for 10-50 guests that Bizzabo reports are on the rise – a trend we’ve seen amongst our own clients. Micro events are more affordable in an industry with rising prices, personal and meaningful, and create the perfect atmosphere to network and collaborate. Micro events also allow you to get creative with more venue options, unique experiences that are harder to replicate with hundreds of guests, and promote more interaction with guests leading to more meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Year-round event cycle With micro events comes the year-round event cycle. Where organizations traditionally held one supersized event per year, we’re now seeing a preference among attendees and our clients for multiple, smaller events throughout the year. Mini events year round provide consistent education and engagement for clients and attendees, keeping your mission and brand front of mind in your community. Sustainability is becoming non-negotiable The sustainability wave is hitting the events industry harder than ever. Conscious consumers demand eco-friendly practices, and we event planners are stepping up to the challenge. Corporations are seeing their carbon footprint under the magnifying glass, which translates to their events. We’re seeing clients requesting reusable and recycled event materials, paper-free events, and simpler menus with vegetarian and vegan options. From reducing waste and carbon footprints to sourcing local and sustainable materials, 2024 will witness a significant push towards greener events. Immersive experiences Event attendees continue to seek more all-encompassing, out-of-the-box event experiences – which is where our creative events team excels. Gone are the days of conferences in dimly lit rooms with stale coffee. Natural light, outdoor and nature-influenced spaces, and flexible, intimate settings are increasingly popular. These new event experiences are worth investing in; they are memorable for attendees and yield higher ROI than events of the past. New technology standards Technology also plays a role in event experiences. Attendees can expect to interact with products, venues, or speakers in new dimensions through Augmented, Mixed, and Virtual Reality, enhancing engagement and leaving lasting impressions. In the background, technologies enable more data collection for event planners than ever, leading to better understanding of guest preferences for future events. Personalization Tailoring experiences to individual preferences will be a key focus in 2024. From personalized event agendas to curated content based on attendee interests, the emphasis on creating unique, customized experiences will be paramount. AI-driven tools will play a significant role in analyzing attendee data to deliver personalized experiences. Health and safety continue to drive decisions Post-pandemic, health and safety considerations remain at the forefront of event planning. Enhanced hygiene protocols and contactless technology will persist in 2024. Event planners will continue to prioritize attendee well-being, ensuring that events are not only memorable but also safe spaces for everyone involved. Diverse and inclusive programming Diversity and inclusion will be woven into the fabric of events more consciously. 2024 will witness a broader representation of cultures, perspectives, and voices. Events will celebrate diversity through inclusive programming, diverse speaker line-ups, and initiatives fostering equality and representation. Hybrid events aren’t going anywhere The rise of hybrid events isn't slowing down. In 2024, we expect them to become even more prevalent. The blending of in-person and virtual elements will cater to diverse audiences, allowing greater accessibility and participation regardless of geographical constraints. The ultimate goal is to seamlessly integrate both worlds, ensuring that remote attendees have an equally immersive and engaging experience. As always in the world of events, the key lies in staying adaptable, innovative, and responsive to the ever-evolving needs and desires of attendees. Our BIG DEAL team is excited to be a part of this journey towards redefining the future of gatherings.

Many people believe that handling the logistics and details on their own will save money in the long run. However, what many fail to consider are the hidden costs associated with not bringing in an experienced event planner, like BIG DEAL Company. The effects can extend far beyond the initial budget, affecting both the success of the event and the long-term reputation of the organization. One of the most tangible impacts of forgoing an event planner is the potential for overspending. Hiring a skilled event planner can actually save money. We know this sounds counterintuitive, but professionals possess extensive networks and negotiating skills, enabling us to secure better deals on venues, catering, and other essential services. Without this expertise, your business may find itself paying a premium for services that could have been obtained at a lower cost. In other words, we’ve got the hookup on great pricing. Moreover, the value of time cannot be overstated….seriously. Planning an event demands a significant investment of time, effort, and resources that could be better spent on building your business. A dedicated event planner, adept at managing timelines and coordinating logistics, can streamline the planning process and ensure that the event runs seamlessly. The true return on investment (ROI) becomes evident when considering the impact on the success of the event itself. BIG DEAL Company brings creativity, innovation, and attention to detail to the table, transforming an ordinary event (yawn) into an extraordinary one (hooray). From thematic designs to engaging entertainment options, our expertise will enhance the overall experience, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. In contrast, a poorly executed event can tarnish the reputation of your organization and hinder your ability to draw in future attendees or clients. When your event is a smash hit you will enhance your brand image, foster positive relationships with stakeholders, and generate valuable word-of-mouth marketing. The cost of not hiring an event planner like BIG DEAL Company extends far beyond the immediate financial investment. It involves missed opportunities, overspending, and the potential for a tarnished reputation. The next time you’re preparing to plan the next company event remember that your ROI isn’t just in dollars but also in time, success, image, and future opportunities.

While it may seem less expensive to tackle all the logistics yourself, the potential hidden costs and missed opportunities associated with not hiring a professional event planner can far outweigh the initial investment. Here are a few tangible and intangible returns on investment (ROI) that an event planner can offer. Time is Money: Event planning demands a significant amount of time and effort. Whether you're organizing a corporate conference, a wedding, or a charity fundraiser, the hours spent managing the logistics, vendors, and details can be a substantial drain on your precious time and energy. BIG DEAL Company will streamline the process and ultimately free you up to enjoy the event. Vendor Negotiations: Due to the years of experience planning events, BIG DEAL Company has established relationships with vendors, which often result in cost savings and valuable perks. We are often able to secure deals on venues, catering, entertainment, and other services, ultimately reducing your expenses while enhancing the event's quality. Plus, we can maximize your budget, ensuring that every dollar spent generates a higher ROI. Risk Mitigation: BIG DEAL Company is skilled at identifying and tackling potential risks before and during your event. Whether it's weather-related issues for an outdoor event or last-minute vendor cancellations, our on-the-ground team is always prepared for these contingencies and can prevent costly disruptions and reputation damage. Enhanced Attendee Experience: A well-executed event can leave a lasting impression on attendees. At BIG DEAL Company, we understand the psychology of engagement, and our expertise in designing a memorable experience can lead to higher attendee satisfaction and future business opportunities. Marketing and Promotion: This is a factor we see neglected by many events. We can help market your event effectively, increasing attendance and revenue. We’ll help create promotional strategies to reach a wider audience and generate a higher ROI where applicable. The benefits of hiring BIG DEAL Company extend beyond mere monetary savings and can result in a more successful and stress-free event. When you consider the hidden costs, in terms of time, money, and attendee satisfaction, of not hiring an event planner the choice is easy. As a bonus, we’re a fun and talented team that truly look forward to working with you.
