Utilizing a Virtual Assistant for Sponsorship Research
Introduction
Hosting events and creating content can be an expensive process. From buying materials and equipment to reserving venues or spaces, there is a lot of up front costs associated with producing content of any kind. A great way to help with the funding of these types of events is to find outside companies or individuals to contribute funding in exchange for advertising or association. Many organizations are looking for these types of opportunities, but it can be a challenge to find the right ones who are willing and interested in doing this for your specific project. With the help of Byron, we can assist you with this process by doing all the necessary research into what companies may possibly be interested in sponsoring you and providing back a list of all potential organizations for you to contact. There are a few things you will need to get together before sending off your request for this, so we will be going over what you will need to do to get started.
Purpose of Sponsorship
In your request, you will want to begin by preparing a description of what type of event/content you are producing that you are seeking sponsorship for. In order for your assistant to properly research sponsors, they will need to have an understanding of what this event is in order to find the right organizations for your needs. It will also be extremely helpful going forward if you introduce your own organization or business in order to further convey to your assistant who may be a proper sponsor or not.
Providing Examples
A great way to help your assistant get started with their research is to provide an example organisation that would be your ideal type of sponsor for your event/content. This will help further clarify what you are looking for and the type of sponsorships that you are looking for. You can do this by simply providing a link to this organizations website or referencing past events they sponsored that were similar to what you are working on. This is not a necessary step but this will help guarantee the best results possible going forward.
Contacts
While your assistant is gathering together a list of potential sponsors for your events, you can also have them gather together the contact information of those organizations to further save you time during this process. It may not always be possible for your assistant to find the right person to contact in the suitable organisations they find, but while they are researching they can gather together as much information as possible about potential points of contact they find during the process.
