WHY IS SPONSORSHIP SO IMPORTANT?
There is an important difference between advertising and sponsorship. Services which are free to the public such as events and this magazine can only exist with the financial support of sponsors (be they residents or businesses). While sponsoring this magazine allows a business to include an ad to show their support, it mostly allows us to bring your magazine to you. Sponsorship creates meaningful connection between businesses, residents, and a valuable service. Thanks to them, you get this magazine every month for free! Businesses are vital to every community. Without them, towns shrink and die! However, not just any business will do, at least not for our town. We want to foster the best relationships between our residents and the businesses who care the most about Spanish Fork. And this brings us to why sponsorship in this magazine is so helpful to our local businesses. The only way for them to grow and succeed is to establish deeper connections with their surrounding community. What better way to do that than to show all the residents in town every month that they are stepping up to support this important publication?
As a resident, YOU can help us by letting us know what you are passionate about seeing featured in your magazine. Even more importantly, let your local businesses know that you want this magazine and that you would love to see them support it. There are so many more things we want to bring to you in this magazine, and none of it can happen unless sponsors step up to support it financially.
WHO CAN BE A SPONSOR? Anyone can be a sponsor of the magazine - resident or business! If you love what we are doing and want to support it and be featured as a sponsor, please contact us at sponsors@ mycommunityutah.com.
ARE YOU A SMALL HOME-BASED BUSINESS? We have a great and affordable way to feature our residents who run small businesses from their homes! This can be a game-changer for reaching a wider audience. Head to http://tiny/
