Sample Letter to find sponsors

Data: September 26, 2007

sponsor.jpg

Hello everyone, this week here's a look at my email. This time it concerns a request for letters to find sponsors (of Fundraising.it subscribing for free to the Fundraising Account will find some examples)

The following email exchange, good reading and some of my recommendations drawn from this exchange of emails and files.

Here then are some tips on how to write a letter to a sponsor:

  • the shape of the letter should be engaging, readable, full of bold, italic, underlined

  • you have to understand from the outset what we earn your sponsor to sponsor your initiative

  • not immediately say who you are but what you do. Not necessary for the story but what you actually

  • after you can tell a little bit 'of history, perhaps with a greater depth to repeat the event you are organizing, highlighting any testimonials showing who will be members
  • how many people will also be listed, how much visibility to the event who will contact you to activate, and it 's important to' do business this sponsorship? We must look for the link between the event and the person to whom you write and elencarei benefits of sponsorship (like, the main sponsor, gold sponsors, silver sponsors, etc ...)

  • In conclusion and say hello to write that "in the coming days I will take telephone contact with you so make sure you have received this letter, but also to answer any questions that you will ask me". Basically looking for a touch to the next item, which can then lead to a meeting in person with potential sponsors.

Dear xxx,
The first attempt is good, I am attaching my corrections.
I expect a second version ricorreggere.
See you later.

    It 's true, I fully agree with the suggestions of Prof. Melandri. Just this morning I met with a major Italian company with which I am dealing with for several months for a sponsorship, the first thing I asked was to show the communication plan the event!
    So the visibility and credibility of the association dell'eveno (built by the numbers, the budget, the testimonials ..) are essential. I basically "selling event" (I should say that I gave them the opportunity to make a proper investment) due to the results of last year (number of visitors ...) and work done through the press!
    Good fundraising! Elizabeth

    I also agree with the Professor, just add a ps to the end of the letter. I would also attentive to the ink of the pen that you use to sign and say hello. In my opinion, the details count ...

    Dear Professor,

    then do a search for sponsors, the steps to follow is:

    1-look around who can do the initiative to sponsor

    2-send the mail on the basis of his instructions to the marketing manager of the company

    3-contact them after a couple of days

    4 - make an appointment to submit the initiative mmateriale

    ?

    at the time of telephone contact, to avoid collapse under stirring and making a fool, that lineup should be followed?
    I assume that whoever is on the other side of the receiver does not have much time and no more than they can phone promotions and pests. Like you can make it clear that we are propornendo to sponsor something for him?

    Soon I will start with the emails and phone calls and are worried about being a beginner.

    Thank you!

    Hi, I'm a guy looking for sponsors to run a rally, I wanted to ask if this example will be fine.

    Good morning,

    My name is ...... and I am a member of a grocery store brand "SISA" and usufruisco of your products.
    I contact you for a possible sponsorship in sports. I am a young guy (22 years) very passionate about rallying, I follow him for many years and now I want to approach this world in a more active, so as to realize the dream of a lifetime.
    In the month of February at the "Racing Spilimbergo" I took a course that gave me the possibility of obtaining the license to run. I attended with a friend, ........, with which I intend to do all the races.
    To start we have made contact with a sponsor management of the area, the "Rally Car Service". We have explained how we should behave at all times but most importantly we have ensured that will assist us as we are all beginners.
    We are therefore looking for a sponsor with which to grow, because we do not want to do a few small race, but we would like to take part in the trophy brand and / or real championships.
    Initially we plan to gain experience in races triveneto after accumulating a bit 'of experience to take part in some silverware as "Run with clio" or "ford brand", raising the level increasingly coming to participate in any trophy or CIR why not some participation in 'IRC or worldwide.
    With this email does not ask you a simple sponsorship but to believe in us because we're young and we get satisfaction in this beautiful sport.

    I'm making a project integration and psychological well-being of persons with reduced mobility.
    I need a sponsor who would offer me some electric scouter in exchange for advertising and appointment as principal sponsor (I thought of every scouter could be clearly visible on their brand and still provide good visibility of the company name)
    The problems are 2
    1) the project has yet to start, so I have no guarantees to be submitted if the backing and support of the municipality
    2) I do not know how to make the request, I'm afraid to be too explicit

    Hello, I am Raffaele Benetti, pilot of the Italian National Paragliding Motor, Italian vice-champion of discipline, and a world speed record holder in engine guard, for which I had some on national network television, in shows such as "Sunday Sprint" and regional news reports.
    They are seeking sponsors for the 2010 season that I will participate in various national airshow and flight competitions and gatherings around Italy and various European countries.
    I banged my nose against a lot of companies to which I proposed to become a sponsor of my activities but often did not even have received.
    During 2010 I plan on trying to establish two new world records, I have agreements with television, especially with the RAI television services ..
    I seem to have a huge potential for visibility, but I just can not pass it to companies that snubbed me so ..
    There are people working to find sponsors for the non-football athletes? I could not find anything so far ..
    I must say that I never sent a letter, but I prepared a handout with all the sports program that will follow in 2010, and the budget for this activity ..

    Thanks so much for this space Valerio!

    I would like to take a course that allows me to get the basics and maybe we can research, what I have learned from experience.
    Can you recommend a course to follow?

    Awaiting your kind of feedback I offer my most cordial greetings.

    I decided to take part in the Mongol Rally, a 'race' that starts in Milan and arrives in Ulaan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia.
    There is no assistance of any kind, let alone filming or photographs along the way.
    This year the race will be resumed (obviously ridiculous lengths and percentage) from National Geographic Channel.
    The competition provides the full amount of registration is donated to charity and the means used to compete to be 'given' organization, so it can be auctioned, always charitable purposes.
    How do I convince a company that makes a profit to send 3 desperate in Mongolia?

    Ahrrr! Master!
    I am an (almost) young pirate pastafariano soon to be appointed Minister of Worship of the nascent Church Pastafariana Italian.
    And it is the first major national gathering of the faithful in Rome on March 10, you need all the help possible!
    I will not dwell on religion Pastafariana, just search on wikipedia (or even on Wiki, which for us is fine equal) to dispel the religious doubts, but I want to emphasize some features of the cult, which also determines the categories of interest for our purposes , and whose contribution is appreciated so much in economic terms as goods in their production:
    We believe that the creation of the world is effected by the Flying Spaghetti Prodigious, a being almost omnipotent and not detectable during a hangover. He has made an unspecified number of long tentacles pasty, two large meatballs and a delicious sauce that permeates everything. His favorite creatures are the Pirates, the progenitors of mankind, and to them was promised a paradise with a volcano that erupts cold beer and a stripper factory.
    This determines that the sectors merciologici of our interest are constituted by:

    Producers of pulp (including rice noodles, soy, or other deglutinizzata)
    Manufacturers of seasonings "ready"
    Butcher (or producers of vegetarian options)
    Manufacturers and importers of beer
    Distilleries, sugar cane and coffee roasters (grog is sacred drink)
    Publishers of adult material, and related agencies Models / Dancers
    Transport, with particular reference to the marine industry
    Internet and telephone (communication networks are sacred, like the sea or the sky, and computers and smartphones are the idols of our ancient totemic animal, the parrot).
    Unfortunately, while booming, we are a young religion, and also does not intend to pay any ticket to the participants that are being organized from various parts of Italy, so we can not estimate the extent of the rally, more accurate data will come with ' approaching the event, but are not exhaustive fear (as a minimum, however, one speaks of hundreds of intervened most of which dressed in traditional clothes pirates)
    The advice I would ask is: should I write a different letter for each category? I have to emphasize or minimize the points of difference with other cults, already present and "famous" in Italy?
    I present an outline of the event, although this is subject to major changes?
    Except for the Sacred Ceremony, in fact, you will play an undetermined number of games and shows, including the honor and conference names under appeal, but that may be unfamiliar to a large audience. I name them and list, or I keep it on vague?
    Thanks in advance, and Vento in Poppa!
