So the event promoting business hasn't been going so well. I put together a short but sweet sponsorship commitment sheet and that seems to have killed all the interest from possible sponsors that I had. I am not sure why either considering that the most expensive sponsorship request is only $1000 dollars I thought that I would get a lot of call backs. It basically broke down into this....
Presented by rights = $1000
Secondary Sponsors= $250
Tertiary Sponsors= $100
Then told them that the monies were going to pay for 3 bands and a burlesque troupe. I did give them until the 15th of next month to send in their monies but I also denoted that limited space was available in each category hoping to stir a bit of urgency into people. So far it has not worked... I still haven't got an agreement with the bar I wanted to use for this event and my backups are waning at best. So frustrating...
I do have the poster designs ready and I would share them here but they are so large I can't get my computer to reduce them to a viewable size on the internet. Trust me when I say they are impressive though. The design is a gal playing the double bass in the foreground with a psychedelic background that kinda draws you into the poster. The colors selected are black, white, purple, lime green, and hot pink.(I know, I know what your thinking why the fuck hot pink?) The colors in combination really pop, the full intent is to get people to look at this advertisement and I think that these colors will do that. There are a couple of "Roth" style heads at the top with their eyes all bugged out and staring at the girl playing the bass. Between them is the name of the event and at the bottom will be the location, the name of the bands and the secondary sponsors.
Ugh! Worn out!
