Partnering with one or more of these organizations can really expand the scope of your event. Plan your budget. You will need to develop a realistic budget so that you can decide on the specifics of your event. If not, remember there other ways to make things happen than just paying for them. Be sure to consider all forms of in-kind contributions, such as a free place to hold your event, free ad space or donated items to give away.
Sponsors are wonderful people.
Getting local businesses or major corporations to contribute to your event can go along way in assuring the success of your event. Everyone loves free stuff, and getting a free slice of pizza or the chance to win free tickets to a sporting event can entice almost anyone to register to vote. Sponsors can vary from your local pizzeria donating 20 pizzas to MTV, Time Warner Cable, and the Tampa Tribune donating cash, T-shirts, and free ad space to make your event a major blowout. Plan your event. Anything you can do, within reason, to get people to attend your event can only contribute to its success.
