View source for 2008 sponsorship ideas

This is the page for posting sponsorship ideas, including arguments for sponsors to get involved in WordCamp UK.

== Types of sponsorship ==

A company sponsors a plugin/s the community really wants and in return gets a good weblink/editorial comment from the bloggers using the new plugin.

Put up a cash prize for the winning theme, sponsor has a footer link in the theme template.

== Why sponsor WordCamp UK? ==

I think if the event is looking for sponsorship then the whole thing has to be packaged up to include:
-What the event is
-What will be happening (a break down of talks / seminars / etc)
-Type of people attending (numbers / demographic / kind of jobs they do)
-What kind of sponsor opps are available:
bespoke packages (sponsoring the whole event / sponsoring an element of the event / sponsoring travel / accomodation / drinks / hospitatlity)
-What publicity may be produced to go with the event
-What the offer is:
Your logo on x amount of flyers
Your logo on x blog that has x amount of visitors
You publicity material available to all delegates
 
If we can get all that info packaged it can be sent to (just examples) hotels / airlines (if needed) / virgin trains / hosting companies / software people, etc.
