Are you seeking funding for events? Learn the secrets to getting sponsors to cover 100% of your costs.

Note from the Author

I published the first edition of How To Secure Sponsors Successfully in 2005, it was sold as an ebook on Myspace platform. Anyone remembers Myspace :-). My passion for helping others achieve success without having them do unlawful and unethical stuff is what led me to establish my event planning company. I am self-taught in both planning sponsored-events and securing sponsors and started to secure sponsors in 1997 before launching Vigilance Style & Grace in 1999. Prior to launching my company, I worked in sales so when it came to selling my events to sponsors it wasn’t intimating. It was however embarrassing because I didn’t know anything about sponsorship nor ever heard of it until the word, not the process, sponsor or sponsorship came into my realm – we’re talking about the late nineties when the internet was so new that everyone thought it was going to be a fad – I marry the techniques I learned in sales to my new word and started to secure corporate, local, media and other sponsors in both monetary and in-kind sponsorships. I share my experience, knowledge, and insight for you to get the funding you need, want and desire and connect sponsors with your event audience. The information can be used in every part of the world – it will help you today and into the future and is for beginners and experienced. Start preparing and reading early, it usually takes 6 months to a year or longer to secure sponsors –  in addition to needing time to research and contact sponsors (if you don’t already have contacts), and to follow-up on those missed calls and out of office replies, and to wait until the budget becomes available – passion, perseverance, and persistence are needed. Two major things I would like you to take away from the book – (1) know the value of your event and (2) know how to establish win-win partnerships between your event and sponsors.
