How Do You Ask a Company To Sponsor an Event?
But first… how do you find your sponsors? If this is your first time, don’t worry—it’s not so hard once you know how to ask for sponsors for an event. And if you’ve got quite a few sponsorships under your belt, you might find something new to consider!
1. Identify your needs
2. Determine what you can offer
3. Create sponsorship levels
4. Build your sponsor package
5. Find potential sponsors
At the same time, don’t overcommunicate. If you’ve already followed up twice and haven’t received any responses, chances are they’re not interested. That would be the best time to call off the chase! Bombarding potential sponsors with tons of calls and emails will just make you seem desperate and unprofessional. Worse, you’ll burn a bridge with those companies by doing so.

Sponsors can also be showcased on event websites and in gift bags, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. These benefits make event sponsorship a valuable investment, offering both immediate engagement and long-term recognition.
