Event sponsorship can be a critical source of funding for events where corporates give a certain amount of cash or incentives for (most commonly) brand visibility and awareness at an event. While we’ve mentioned before that marketing managers sometimes don’t mind helping student events, do remember that sponsorships are not philanthropic gestures. They are more like a business relationship between you (the event organiser) and the sponsors.
With the above in mind, it must be noted that the sponsor will come out of this partnership gaining as much as you do. First step is to understand the motivations behind the sponsorship, from there you will be able to create sponsorship packages that will meet their goals. To find out how, Click here

As mentioned, and we cannot emphasize enough, sponsorship is a relationship between the organiser and the sponsor. It is important that you maintain a good relationship with your sponsor.
