Re: Team Sponsorships
Sponsors are giving you money. They want more than a warm-fuzzy at the end of the day.
- Put their logos on the robot - the more money, the bigger the logo
- Put their logos on Team Shirts - see above
- When having special events where mentors from sponsors or employees of sponsors are present, make sure to thank them graciously and enthusiastically.
- Put the sponsors listed on your website (if you have one)
- Publish a newsletter that can be distributed to the sponsor companies showing progress of build, other projects, etc.
Most of the time when teams lose sponsors it is because they stop having a working relationship and just take the sponsorship for granted. The bigwhigs at the companies understand value propositions. Present them with a viable one.
