I'm not going to name any names, but every year in my historic, seaside society an occasion takes place to celebrate our town's maritime heritage. I've attended the last seven or eight. Therefore have a look at the following article taking us through the theme your business bill of rights when you support historical San Angelo Community Events.
But simply creating the occasion is not enough, advertising and promoting it is a must! Custom signs and banners are a great way to do just that. They can help make society members aware of the events, give directions for those who are new to the area, and just make the overall experience that much more successful.
Maybe the donor's logo appears somewhere; maybe it doesn't. And that's it. The donors are taken for granted because they are "family, " and the business goals behind the check writing are simply not considered. In my mind, this is just not good enough anymore and the check writers should push back and ask, "What, exactly, am I getting for my donation?" Being "nice" and philanthropic is lovely and appreciated. But what about business?
Make an emergency supply run only if necessary. If your list shows that your supplies are running low - grab your car keys and make an emergency run. Ask a friend or a family member to hold the fort while you are gone, and drive to the closest store in your neighborhood.
And if businesses are not being asked this question, they should either ask it themselves or, frankly, take their money elsewhere. Tough talk, I know. But I think businesses need to ask more questions, stop being taken for granted, and determine their return on investment. The next time you are asked to support a historical society incident, here are some ways you can leverage your donation.
If you know of a store that carries all the items in your shopping list, head for that store instead. It may not be the cheapest you can find, but the amount of time and effort you save more than makes up for the small amount of money you saved if you drove in and out of different stores instead.
Take advantage of deals while you can. Convenience stores are open at all hours and have most items you need on your party supply list, but sometimes the premium they charge on their items can hurt your budget during an emergency supply run. However, some stores also offer deals on bulk purchases, so it's best to take advantage of those.
Those that love your event and want a little keepsake will eat up custom event t-shirts and other merchandise. Having a cool and modern design will attract the younger demographic and make it a shirt they can wear many times after the incident. This is also a great form of advertising. Every time someone wears the happening shirt they are exposing it to the many people, they encounter every day.
