Sponsorship OpportunitiesLooking for a way to get your message, service and products in front of the St. Louis area people who make the recommendations and/or selections for what you offer? PRSA-St. Louis (the local chapter of the Public Relations Society of America) is the place to go. More than 500 different individuals attended our monthly chapter professional growth and networking luncheons in 2003. In October 2004 we had 236 people to pre-register for one event. Our e-mail list reaches more than 850 area professionals from agencies to corporations to not-for-profits to consulting firms and individuals. Multiple by three and you’ll come up with some conservative numbers of the total people exposed to your message. There are three traditional ways to post your message. And you may come up with more. 1) Sponsorship of a Monthly Luncheon Meeting gets you our mailing list (for a one time use), an e-mail list of all who attend the meeting you sponsor (including non-members), a presentation table for you or a representative to appear and meet with attendees before and after lunch, two free meals (one could be used at a follow-up luncheon if you wish), your logo on our Chapter "home page" for a minimum of 30 days, mention in all pre- and post-meeting notices and media releases, as well as our monthly eNews. Your cost? $500. 2) You can also be an eNews Sponsor – for a full year or a three-month minimum. Put your logo at the top of those listings on our Home page for the duration of your run (like a banner ad). It appears at the start of each eNews and with your logo at the bottom of each eNews – both having hotlinks to your home page or a designation of your choice. The eNews and our promoting sponsor are mentioned in e-mail blasts to our 850 (updated monthly) e-mail list of Members and Friends with links directly to the page where your logo will appear. Cost: (full year) $3,000; Quarterly: $750. Go to News Center (see tab above) and click on to Chapter eNews. 3) Academic Scholarships. PRSA-St. Louis has supported annual scholarships to students planning to enter journalism and/or public relations in college. (Contact us for details on these items). You may have other thoughts as what you could offer or a way to partner i.e., your ad on our registration form (you have to go there to sign up for any luncheon). We're open to fresh ideas. Our sponsorships are open only to those whom we feel have a direct professional relationship with our members - so they are well received. And there is nothing better than face-to-face contact to develop relationships and give you the exposure you are looking for. Contact us when you are ready to join our sponsorship list or if you have further questions or creative ideas. Jim Braibish, President |
