Why Sponsor a Chamber Event? No matter what type of business you are in, public relations and community interaction are just as essential as advertising! The Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce events are the perfect outlet for your company to gain the publicity and brand recognition that every business needs. Business leaders recognize and appreciate companies that help them gain knowledge and make important contacts. Our Chamber membership represents some of our region’s most important and influential corporate leaders; mid-level managers; small business owners; entrepreneurs; young professional; media personalities; educators; political figures and more. Sponsoring a Chamber event provides a great means of broadening your competitive advantage by improving your company’s reflection, prestige and credibility through supporting events that your community and audience find attractive. Through sponsorships, our Chamber strives to create a partnership that is beneficial to all who are involved. By concentrating on aiding the businesses in Cedar Park and surrounding areas in reaching their marketing goals through sponsored events, publications and web presence, the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce promotes the development of businesses in our region. In addition to enhancing visibility and image, there are many great benefits that coincide with sponsoring Chamber events: •
Access to New Business Relationships – The face-to-face marketing opportunities at Chamber events allow businesses to build relationships with an unlimited number of new clients and customers.
•
Advertising – Exposure in print, on our website and on-site advertising ensure heightened sponsor brand recognition among a targeted audience of business owners, executives and chamber members.
•
Demonstrates Civic Engagement – Small businesses play an important role in the framework of any community and accept a portion of the responsibility of making sure that the community stays healthy and whole. Your involvement in community events exhibits your concern for the community in which you work and live and has a favorable effect on your business.
•
Association with High Profile Business Events – Companies that desire to be coined “Industry Leaders” welcome the benefits of being associated with important business events and programs. Chamber events are among the top places to gain name recognition with high-income professionals, executives, managers and other business decision-makers. Publicity – Chamber events are highly publicized and so are their sponsors. Your company’s name is included in print and online advertising and collateral which will earn you public recognition.
