We're
looking for sponsors for 24 Hour Comics Day 2009! We're not looking for
cash, but we are looking for companies willing to provide goods and
services to some or all of the host sites. We are specifically looking
for:
- Snack food: as a 24 hour event, a lot of snacking tends
to take place
- Soft drinks
- Meals: this would be a good sponsorship for regional or
larger restaurant chains. (Individual restaurants that want to provide
meals should email us, and we'll try to hook you up with an individual
event site; you won't be part of the national publicity, but the local
event host may be able to offer their own promotional possibilities.)
- Art supplies and tools
- Transportation services: helping get sleepy cartoonists
back home
- Photocopy services: this would help stores submit copies
of the resulting stories for the official records. Some stores might
also want to offer copies of the locally-produced comics for sale.
We
are open to other types of products and services that would help make
the events comfortable, entertaining, or successful.
You
will be exposing your product not only to the cartoonists participating
at the event sites and their hosts, but also to those visiting the
event sites. Most events are held at comic book stores, and the 24 hour
nature of the event means that at least part of the event will be
during open stores hours (and many stores even choose to remain open
for 24 hours during the event.) And while we cannot guarantee press
coverage, we will note that some of 2007's 24 Hour Comics Day events
were covered with both national and local TV and print, so there is a
chance for some product visibility. Your product will be associated
with an energetic and creative event.
Sponsors
offering support to a substantial portion of the event sites may
receive mention in press releases issued by 24 Hour Comics Day, and
will have their logo and a web link put on the 24
Hour Comics Day website.
Drop
a line to
24HCD@comicspro.org and let us know what you would like to
offer. We'll be glad to answer whatever questions you have.
