Organising a vibrant and memorable Christmas market is a fantastic way to celebrate the Christmas season and create a magical experience for your community. However, one common challenge that event organisers often face is securing funding to ensure the market's success while providing value to both sponsors and stallholders. In this article, we'll explore how to attract sponsors for your Christmas market and offer value to stallholders through the innovative Instant-Images Photography Service, a solution that aligns with the expectations of today's microwave culture and offers robust branding, social sharing, and analytics capabilities.
The average Facebook user in the UK now has about 330 friends, though the median number is quite a bit lower at around 200. If we give them a Picture taken at the Market, Sponsor branded and hashtag attached, they share it on their timeline and its seen by their 200 contacts. If we take 100 pictures which are shared, then that means, 100 x 200 = 20,000 - the number of imprints your branding would achieve that afternoon. A small competition drives sharing with hashtag.
Crafting an Attractive Sponsorship Package
To secure funding from sponsors for your Christmas market, it's essential to create an enticing sponsorship package. Start by defining the various sponsorship tiers, each with its own set of benefits. These benefits can include logo placement on promotional materials, signage at the event, and mentions during announcements.
With the Instant-Images Photography Service, you can offer sponsors an additional, highly attractive benefit. Explain how the service works: professional photographers capture the joyful moments of market visitors and instantly share these photos with attendees. Each photograph is fully branded with the sponsor's logo, ensuring maximum exposure. This immediate visual connection with eventgoers provides sponsors with a unique opportunity to engage with the audience.
Leveraging Social Media for Maximum Exposure
In today's digital age, social media is a powerful tool for both event promotion and sponsor visibility. The Instant-Images Photography Service integrates seamlessly with this medium. Each photo taken at your Christmas market is tagged with a specific event hashtag, making it measurable when they share their experiences on social platforms.
Sponsors can tap into this by having their brand associated with these photos. When attendees share these pictures on social media, the sponsor's logo and message will be front and center, reaching a broad and engaged audience within minutes of each photo being taken. This real-time interaction aligns perfectly with the fast-paced expectations of today's audience.
Adding Value for Stallholders
Christmas markets thrive on the participation of enthusiastic stallholders. To further enhance the sponsorship offering, let stallholders in on the action. When our photographers capture images of your stallholders and their stalls, these pictures are shared directly with them. Any subsequent photos that include the stallholders in the near background are also shared with them.
This not only boosts the social media coverage for the stallholders but also deepens their engagement with the event. They become active participants in sharing the magic of the Christmas market with their followers, all while highlighting their partnership with sponsors and event organisers, so building on the community you have created.
Demonstrating Our Worth with Analytics
To cement your Christmas market's value proposition for sponsors, be sure to back your offering with comprehensive analytics reports. Instant-Images Photography Service provides event organisers with valuable insights into participant engagement, social media reach, and the effectiveness of branding efforts.
These analytics can showcase the impact of the sponsorship on a granular level, allowing sponsors to see the tangible benefits of their investment. It also empowers event organisers to fine-tune their marketing strategies and provide evidence of their event's success if they need to provide feedback to Local AUthorities or other funding sources.
Securing funding from sponsors for your Christmas market is not only about attracting financial support but also about creating a mutually beneficial partnership. The Instant-Images Photography Service not only meets the expectations of today's microwave culture but also offers an innovative way to deliver value to sponsors, stallholders, and attendees alike.
By incorporating branding, real-time social sharing, and comprehensive analytics into your sponsorship packages, you can make your Christmas market sponsorship opportunities highly attractive. This win-win approach ensures that sponsors see a return on their investment while helping you create a magical and memorable Christmas event for your community.
