Why Are Sponsors Important?

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.

WHO ARE OUR SPONSORS?

In this magazine, regarding the sponsors, we want you to notice a few things:

“Founding Sponsor” banner on ads - Indicates a business that stepped up and believed in the vision for this magazine, even before we had one in our hands. They wanted to make sure that Spanish Fork had what everyone wanted - their own community magazine.

“Community Expert” banner on ads and articles - Indicates a sponsor who we want to highlight for their excellence in their field. They have demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise to help you in their particular industry, and they will be sharing their expertise with you throughout our coming issues.

“Content Sponsor” banner on ads and articles - Indicates a sponsor who supports a particular section of the magazine they feel is valued by the community. If you want a particular kind of section to be included in our magazine, the first step is to help us find someone to sponsor it, and let us know you want it!

WHY BE A SPONSOR?

We build a stronger community when we connect our businesses to the residents, and by educating the residents on which businesses care the most. This is your town, so take pride by appreciating the businesses that keep the town going. Our sponsors are mostly other residents who want to support you, so get to know them and check out their services!

One of the biggest ways you can encourage sponsorship is by letting businesses know that you read this magazine and want to see them support it! This helps ensure that all the fun and meaningful things in the magazine can continue to show up on your doorstep every month.
