View Full Version : Marketing: Sponsoring An Event
I've been offered the opportunity to sponsor an event, I wont be the main sponsor but one of a handful.
I've not sponsored an event in years, certainly never in Porn.
My hunch is that I wont directly make my money back & therefore I'm still 50/50 about agreeing to it.
Have you ever sponsored an adult event ? If so what should I be pushing for & trying to acheive ?
In short any ideas for demands I could make prior to agreeing & therefore enable me to get some sort of return ?
Thanks
:)
what type of event?
Fetish :noway2:
Fetish :noway2:
a club night or something or what?

Yes, something ;)
I'm not sure whether to directly advertise a handful of chatlines on the promo material, such as flyers etc or simply go for branding by way of purely my web URL.

Ooh can I come. My current slut is coming round in PVC tomorrow and I have rope, floggers and paddles at the ready :) I might even get out the violet wand :noway2:

Did you get my violent wand pun then? As in "current slut"?
BTW, she insists on much worse than slut when we're playing :)

Perhaps if you tell us what event it is as oppossed to a 'something event' advice may be forthcoming.

Sorry SD, it's transference or something.
Back on topic, I'm not sure about the chatline thinggy - but I don't know the market. I would have assumed people who go to fetish events are "out" on the fetish/BDSM scene and would have the contacts for r/l play rather than your Jo surfer who phones chatlines because when the wife's in bed, etc. So you could print a load of things, but would the people at this "something" be potential customers or would it just be a pointless exercise.
TBH, the few events I have been to, most of the glossy brochures, dildos with program URLs on, and t-shirts advertising websites, have gone either in the green wheelie bin or the black one. I guess if you were selling fetish gear, that would be a more likely avenue.
I could be completely wrong, but you do have to consider whether the sponsoring may well inflate the ego but deflate the budget...

My personal feeling is the same as Mobster's. I think if I were at a fetish event I wouldn't be remotely interested in chatlines. I might be interested in someone selling fetish gear. So I would be tempted to not be tempted, if you see what I mean.

You've all got it so wrong!!!
Jerry has sponsored everything from the opening of an envelope to Damians cock enhancing surgery and look where it's got him :gaylords:

We used to sponsor the Night of the Senses, but we never got back anywhere near what we put in. It's a good way to raise your company profile offline, which was good for our dvd range etc but I wouldn't do it purely on a commercial basis.
If anyone wants to sponsor an non adult even then let me know ;)

I am shocked to see that SD has not been back to say thank you for all the helpful replies in this thread. It really is typical of webmasters not only to not help each other out, but when they do help out they are not even thanked so it's no wonder most of the time they are not so helpful.
It's a real disgrace that the constructive advice in this thread has not even merited a return visit from the OP, I think this should definitely be considered a banning matter otherwise people will think they can just take liberties and get free advice and not even say thank you for it when other webmasters have taken the time to help when usually they don't even reply to threads when they don't know the answer. :(
