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.
