Why Become a Sponsor?

 
 

Many businesses struggle with how to advertise and acquire customers, it’s not print where newspapers have reduced readership and plummeting circulation; radio has all but disappeared with Sirius and Spotify filling the airwaves; the much-ballyhooed television has an infinite number of channels with a shrinking audience and Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Hulu, and Apple TV have all the “must watch” programs; it’s impossible to read digital billboards racing by at 65 miles an hour; and so forth.

The answer is festival marketing.

As a Starbird Event Sponsor, your brand will interact with over 12,000 attendees & exhibitors! The audience is richly diverse as the festival caters to families with children, wine aficionados who come to sample and purchase locally made wines and spirits to take home, art, craft, and specialty food devotees with 100 booths for shopping and to sample and buy handcrafted jams, jellies, maple syrup, hot sauce, chocolate, and more.

Now, are you asking yourself how does my business fit into the puzzle? It’s easy, fill out the sponsorship form and I will get in touch to discuss!
