Professor Tattoo : Mike Krausert,
Master of Scenic Design
Intro Class 101 - Successful
Sponsorship Secrets Revealed
Take the fear out of sponsorship writing and
keep it in your Haunt where it should be! Mike "Tattoo"
Krausert will unveil the mystery behind successful sponsorship
writing with this comprehensive workshop covering product,
machinery, food and cash sponsorships. Sponsorships are
not one-size-fits-all in the world of haunted attractions
and you will learn to recognize which sponsorships and partnerships
are the best fit for your haunt. Mike has come a long way
from his very first "sponsorship" of picking through
piles of gummy, damaged soda cans to get free beverages
for their cast and crew and he will help you avoid similar
sticky situations. Learn proven tips and techniques on sponsorships
writing and understand how to package your haunt to be attractive
to potential sponsors. Mike will divulge the top five features
Terror on the Fox's main sponsor Oneida Casino lists as
most important when they receive and consider sponsorship
proposals. Discover better methods for letter writing, how
to identify and package what your haunt can offer, research
the best partnerships for your haunt, how to follow up,
what to do when you get a yes, what to do when you get a
no and more!
I have spent a lot of time working with our
title sponsor for Terror on the Fox. For a while now, my
contact in the Oneida Casino Marketing Department has been
working on a "mathematical equation" that will
help you determine dollar value and "impressions"
for a sponsorship.
I am excited to announce that I have
been given this paperwork and the go ahead to share it with
EVERYONE in my Sponsorship classes! I believe this paperwork
will help anyone and everybody in their quest to acquire
sponsors for their event! This "equation" will
help you to determine and prove value to your current and
future sponsors! We have had incredible feedback from this
lecture in the past and it has led many people to get important
sponsorships in their corporation or haunt.
