Re: Letter vs e-mail vs phone

I highly suggest visiting sponsors in person as everyone has said.

We have over 100+ sponsors now. We visit each one and give them:

-Plaques (ranging from small to big)
-Offseason Event BBQ Tickets for 2 people
-Robot Demo
-On School Letterhead a Thank You letter

Before we leave, we give them a self addressed envelope with a card asking if they'd liked to:

-Sponsor Donation
-Material Donation
-Machine Time Donation
-Come visit later in the year
-Do Not Wish To Sponsor

We tried the return card last year and it worked amazingly well.
