How to Find Sponsors for College TechFest Events?
Some of our old CEans have shared some really useful tips/advice and ideas here -
#-Link-Snipped-#
From what I've seen happening in my college, students generally prepare a letter draft that lists down the basic details of the event and what all activities will be conducted in there. A separate page of the letter speaks of the companies/institutes/shops will benefit by sponsoring the event. Then target companies that you think would benefit from exposure to 60,000 students. Are they going to be on a t-shirt? Poster? flyers? Are there any local tech companies? If there is a local hook, Companies will have a better reason to sponsor. Once you have this list you could drop off the letter in person, and follow up with a phone call or in person again.
Some CEans have asked me in the past if they should contact the companies through emails? or What is the best time to pitch-in the prospective companies/institutes with sponsorship proposal?
What do you think, folks?
