Hello Potential sponsors,
I wanted to put up a little blog about what we expect from our sponsors.
I have been getting a lot of sponsor approvals for discount codes and nothing else...
At Lantacular we DO NOT distribute discount codes to attendees unless there are physical products from the company at the event. I will not force discounts on attendees without knowing how great the products are.
What we want in a sponsor:
In return for year round spotlight on our website (www.Lantacular.com/) we expect item donations from sponsor brands....
We use all donated items for raffles, tournament prizes and goody bags.
Goody Bags:
In the past we have received a crazy amount of swag for our guests to be given at the door.
ex. shirts, stickers, pens, posters, candy, energy drinks, bottle openers, mouse pads, decals....etc.
These are small items that are given in larger quantity so that everyone may have something from the company...items can be branded...we would love that!!! Goody bags are just samplings from the sponsor company! This of course is not required.
Tournament Prizes:
Our sponsors in the past have been extremely generous with item donations. We have received pc cases, shirts, bean bag chairs, energy drinks, candy.....whatever the company makes and sells to the general population.... We want actual items for tournament winners!! This gives the attendees a viewing of the company's products and gives us a prize to give away.
Raffle:
During the event we hold a huge raffle..we draw names for prizes dopnated by our sponsor companies! Raffle items vary and include promotional material and prizes. With the raffle we also demo items from comnpanies and talk a little bit about the sponsor and what they make.
We are a non profit Gaming lan and will continue to stay that way as long as our sponsors will support us.
We offer many opportunaties to our sponsors and want to shine the spotlight on them, we promote sponsors on our website and throughout the event!!
Thank you.
