I'm thinking about our business running a sponsorship competition online (via facebook, websites etc.) for us to sponsor a local rider for a year. I'm trying to work out how best to do it to get the biggest response. I saw another company run a competition recently and think it was a case of a list of 5 or 10 was drawn up from a list of entries (where they send us details of themselves, level competing, what they could do for us etc.) and then they have to try to get as many people to vote for them as possible (via FB) so they have to share and hopefully their friends will share as well (thus pushing us further out there). Does this sound like a good way???
Then it comes to what to offer. I've been sponsored before myself and I used to get branded clothing and freebies but because we aren't an equestrian company as such, we cannot offer clothing or items in kind which the rider might want (we are more of a service, without stating exactly what we do or HHO Admin will tell me off for advertising no doubt!!). I was thinking branded clothing of course (jacket, saddlecloth, rug, maybe sticker for trailer/lorry?) and then we offer our "services" 3 times through the year which in value terms would be £300+. It's so annoying I can't say what we do but I don't think I'm allowed to so very hard to explain what we can offer!!!
