Bournemouth Air Festival 2009 – How to get involved – August 20th – 23rd 2009
Saturday, April 11th, 2009HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Alex Carter is the Managing Director of Wilts & Dorset and is the title sponsor of this year’s Festival, “I am thrilled and privileged to once again be backing the biggest free event of its kind in the UK.
With over 750,000 visitors in 2008 we were overwhelmed with the results and I know we will be again this year. The Air Festival raised our business profile both locally and regionally, further strengthening the image and reputation of our ‘More’ brand. What can do to get involved and how you can do it? There are plenty of corporate support opportunities, including:
- Sponsor aircraft appearances and the evening entertainment
- Reward employees or clients with Festival Hospitality
- Offer company services at a discounted rate to help support Air Festival organisers.
How?
As individuals, partnerships or business consortia you can back the aircraft and sponsor key Festival elements. Why not try a host of grass roots communications, marketing and promotional activity?
Easy promotional methods will have a huge impact on spreading the Air Festival word and
include:
- Word of mouth – friends, family, employees and colleagues
- E-marketing – download the logo (below) or add a link to websites, tell subscribers to your enewsletters
- Printed material – leaflets and posters are a great way to let people know what is happening
- Decoration – decorate your premises, local business or shop front with an Air Festival theme.
Even easier, you could…
- Tell your staff about the Air Festival Volunteer to help on the day
- Have bournemouthair.co.uk as your home page
- Upload the latest press release for your website visitors.
