Sprint (Presenting Sponsorship Proposal)

2/6/2014 Dear Darrick, I’ve prepared a proposal for you to please share with Sprint marketing as discussed.

The concept is simple: Charlotte Prowler Magazine ESPN Charlotte Go! See! Do! Events are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. We have just added DiSH Network, Harrah’s Casino and Hendrick Lexus to our exhibit partners—and we have more to announce in coming days.

We will exhibit at over 80 festivals, trade shows, sporting events and gatherings this year including Charlotte’s largest and most-anticipated events.

In addition, our sales and marketing staff meets with hundreds of prospects and clients each month from uptown to Ballantyne to the lakes.

We need quality technology and data to execute with our kiosk, data collection efforts, media trailer and street teams. In return we can provide far-reaching referrals and exposure for Sprint—essentially becoming a pseudo-sales and marketing staff at every major event in Charlotte for Sprint. And your own staff can attend and conduct product demos and sales at every event as you like.

In addition, Sprint will have video, signage and handouts plus an ad in Charlotte Prowler, which will be distributed free onsite at every event.

Sprint would also have weekly access to our 366K subscribers/readers in On The Prowl—our weekly eNewsletter to deliver specials, technology updates, etc.

Sprint will also have a full color ad in Charlotte Prowler Magazine which is distributed around Charlotte and also at these major events for free.

And each Best of Charlotte award—which recipients proudly display—will have the Sprint logo.

In addition, there will be many opportunities throughout the year where we will be involved in early event planning and be able to recommend Sprint for signage, trade show exhibits, etc.

Let me know your thoughts as soon as you can. I would like to have the opportunity to meet with yourself and members of your marketing department to fully present the scope of our 2014 event exhibition calendar.

Thanks in advance for your review and response.

Best, Randy Stimpson Publisher/Editor/Creative Director Direct: 704-352-4280 2520 Sardis Road North, Suite 100, Charlotte, NC 28227 R ST I M P SO N @ ST I M P SO N C R E AT I V E . CO M

2014 Way back in 1992 your now well-aged Prowler Magazine staffers began sorting and anointing standouts in the Queen City. Our humble opinions— opinions they are—are given to share with city newcomers and natives alike the things we find and love on the road more frequently travelled. While most Charlotteans will dine, dance, shop and socialize within a limited radius, our own profession and passion drives us from South End to South Park, from University City to Ballantyne and from Davidson to Lake Wylie. It’s our hope that our collection will inspire readers to take a trip—across town or a little further down the street—to enjoy one of the best experiences our great city has to offer. Please, enjoy.
