You\u2019ve watched your event sponsorship dwindle over the years. Your efforts to rein sponsors back in have been unfruitful. Your sponsors want more, and you\u2019re not sure what to offer them. So, how can you get potential sponsors to buy into your association again?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you\u2019re failing to garner interest, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve overlooked the importance of a diverse sponsorship package with digital-first opportunities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As your members spend more time online, your sponsors are looking for more ways to meet them there. In the past, conferences were the easiest sponsorship products to sell. They attracted concentrated member audiences, created urgency, and provided visible branding opportunities. Sponsors sought exposure at events with logo placements and exhibit booths.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Today, many companies don\u2019t see infrequent in-person gatherings as their only avenue to reaching your members\u2014they\u2019re looking for more meaningful ways to connect with their target audiences year-round that support their marketing, education, thought leadership, and business development goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sponsors are also looking for proof that members are hearing their message. They want measurable outcomes. <\/span>Event attendance numbers don\u2019t offer the specific metrics that help sponsors justify their spend.<\/span><\/a> Sponsors want to know how many qualified prospects engaged with their content, clicked a campaign, attended a sponsored webinar, or downloaded one of their resources.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What Is Digital First?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Digital opportunities are no longer supporting actors in a sponsorship package\u2014they are the leading role. A digital-first sponsorship strategy uses online channels as the base of sponsor relationships with your members, and should include digital advertising opportunities, sponsored content, webinars or educational programs, and email marketing placements. It is important for brands to have a constant presence in front of your members throughout the entire year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This doesn’t make events obsolete. It means your members are accessible in more ways than just in-person gatherings. Today, engagement happens daily through websites, newsletters, webinars, social media, and discussion boards. A digital-first strategy allows sponsors to maintain visibility and engagement at all times instead of relying on a few event-based interactions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sponsors Are Seeking More Value<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Businesses keep a close eye on their marketing budgets and want to justify every dollar spent. They want to know the true ROI of their sponsorship dollars and know that they are meeting their marketing goals, including brand awareness, lead generation, and customer retention.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When creating sponsorship packages, you\u2019ll likely see strong results from integrated campaigns that combine multiple digital channels. Sponsors typically achieve better outcomes when their audiences encounter their message through several coordinated touchpoints.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At Naylor, we see higher advertiser renewal rates for multiproduct offerings as sponsors usually find greater value in their investment. Instead of being forced to make individual purchasing decisions throughout the year, sponsors receive a package designed to support their goals. This approach often sees increased sponsor retention and creates opportunities for larger investments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Give Potential Sponsors What They Want<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Sponsored content, targeted email campaigns, and newsletter placements consistently deliver value to businesses seeking your members\u2019 attention.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But don\u2019t mistake a plethora of opportunities for a sure-fire way to attract sponsors. A big mistake we see is associations trying to sell inventory instead of solving business problems. Sponsors expect associations to understand their business objectives and create programs that align with those goals. This is why it\u2019s important to customize your packages\u2014not all businesses have the same north star.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Ask yourself, \u201cWhat are my potential sponsors trying to achieve?\u201d When you answer that question, you can narrow down how to help them meet your members in a meaningful way.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For example, many businesses want to be seen as leaders in their industry. They employ experts and want to show them off. Potential sponsors value opportunities to demonstrate that expertise and build trust with your members through educational content and industry insights. <\/span>Programs like sponsored emails, webinars, research reports, or white papers<\/span><\/a> are great ways for sponsors to show their standing in the industry while, more importantly, providing value to members.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Sponsors also want concrete evidence that their audiences hear and see their messages. One of the greatest benefits of a digital-first package is the real-time data reporting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Benefits of Data<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Data isn\u2019t just numbers\u2014it tells the story of a successful (or unsuccessful) partnership. It\u2019s much easier to have a renewal conversation when associations can show sponsors the audience reach, engagement trends, and lead generation activity of a campaign. These discussions should focus not only on what happened in the last year but also on how future investments can build on those results.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Transparency is critical, even if the results don\u2019t meet expectations. Sponsors appreciate honest reporting, including both successes and areas for improvement. Reporting schedules, performance dashboards, benchmark comparisons, and actionable insights help make associations trusted partners. Tracking outcomes and communicating results consistently can lead to more sponsorship renewals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

How to Get Started<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

There are several steps to take now to future-proof your association\u2019s sponsorship strategy. Begin by auditing your current sponsorship portfolio and identifying offerings beyond events. If you work with a publishing partner, collaborate with them to develop integrated sponsorship packages that combine multiple channels and deliver greater value to sponsors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What opportunities await on your website, social media, newsletters, or webinars? Where do your members frequent? How do you communicate with them? Most associations already have valuable engagement channels in place that offer untapped potential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Meet with your current sponsors to find out what outcomes matter most to them. Then, evaluate every sponsorship product against those priorities to reveal new opportunities and identify ineffective offerings. Having candid conversations with sponsors allows you to create the foundation for a more strategic year-round program. You may just discover that some legacy sponsorship products generate little value, while newer digital opportunities produce stronger results and garner more interest.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
