The problem

Most sponsor packages are a list of logo placements at three price points. Sponsors want access to your members. Logos rarely deliver that.

When to run it

Four to six months before your event, before the sponsor ask goes out.

The steps

  1. Ask last year's sponsors what worked

    Call five of last year's sponsors, including one who did not renew. Keep each call to 15 minutes. Ask: "What did you get from us that was worth the money, and what was not?" Write down their exact words.
