Sponsorships Increase Your Marketing Dollars' Impact
|
|
|
|
Getting the most out of your marketing budget is a vital aspect for most businesses. Sponsorships with the Daytona Regional Chamber can help to provide this unique opportunity by expanding your marketing dollars to serve two purposes.
First, a sponsorship with the Daytona Regional Chamber is a terrific vehicle for gaining exposure to the type of quality target audiences your business is looking for. Your brand’s exposure in conjunction with these events help to create tremendous value before, during, and after an event. In addition to the visibility and impressions your company receives by the sponsorship, other benefits may include VIP admissions to an event for clients or staff or an opportunity to speak to potential customers attending who as well recognized your support.
Second, your company’s support of these programs show that you also support the Daytona Regional Chamber's mission of advocating for a strong economic and business environment. The Daytona Regional Chamber provides representation of the business community in the advocacy and legislative arenas, accomplishing collectively what many business owners don't have the time to do individually. Staying on top of the issues and building relationships at the local, state, and federal level means the Daytona Regional Chamber has the influence necessary to have the business community's message heard loud and clear.
