Sponsorhip and Vendor Packet

Letter from the Founder Dear President, Thanks for showing interest in our sponsorship/vendor program. We are really look forward to building a lasting relationship with your company. Because for us, finding great businesses in the area to work with is a major part of what allows us to produce a wide range of events for our customers’ needs. So, we take our business relationships very seriously and whole-heartedly support companies that share our values and industry standard. However, why get involved with us today? It’s simple! With a deal to promote several high profile events featuring the likes of; Britney Spears, Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga etc, and an expectation to produce 12 major events of our own, our company can expect to attract more media attention and event guests than all our previous years combined. How does this relate to your company? Well, as a company offering us services and/or contributions for our events, you will see immediate financial benefits from our local press and increased business with your company. No matter if you are a vendor or sponsor, you will have an opportunity to boost sales; before, during and after our events. We are committed to helping companies reach their business goals, not only by sharing their advertising message within our market, but also by directly selling their products and services to our target audience. Along with this, we provide companies with; positive brand publicity and heightened visibility, market acceptance, VIP perks, free & discounted tickets and a competitive advantage. Unlike supporting a single event, we offer our partners a year’s worth of events to help establish a higher rate of return and greater success rate in achieving brand and sale objectives. We also have developed a full service ticket retail outlet that will be used to market local events, and event sponsors’ products and services, in a creative face-to-face environment. Using both our events and ticket outlet, we are able to offer your business an unparallel connection and personal relationship with thousands of consumers from all over the Puget Sound and beyond! The deadline to join as either a sponsor or vendor is June 20, 2009 - summer break for many students. After this time, we would have already started rolling out our marketing campaign and events for the year. So to be a part of this program, and to even help steer our events and marketing campaign to reflect your company needs, you must sign up soon. Sponsors we accept after this time will be only on a per event basis. However, we know this can be a difficult decision for any company, so we took the time to fill this packet with all the information you will need! Please feel free to contact me if any questions that still remain at the email address or phone number provided at the end of this packet. Enjoy, Jeremy Smith

Introduction (Nice to meet you!)

Our team As young adults ourselves, we have a personal connection to our event guests of 18-28 year olds. However we understand we have a greater responsibility to our community as a whole in providing events that are high quality, professional and safe for the surrounding area. -Jeremy

Founded in March 2008, Venue Entertainment LLC focuses on providing a wide range of events for young adults. Partnered with an extended network of dedicated event vendors, the company adds the elements of event management and marketing to the team, making it possible to produce its own events. Because of this, the company is positioned as one of a very few businesses in the country that both invests in, and produces, its own events. In Seattle specifically, the company produces, own and/or promote more than 50 major events a year, and stays commitment to improving young adult entertainment experiences by ensure each event is; high quality, safe and professional. Even before the company was established, the idea was to get young adults and the community involved in the events we created. Whether it was doing surveys, polls or just making suggestions, we have been able to narrow down our focus over the year to really making marketing a priority. We also work with the local business community, and city, to increase business and tourism. Since then, our business has always been customer driven and deeply rooted in the success of the entire community. This is why we developed our ticket outlet to reach customers more easily and provide exposure for local businesses and events. Our events has always been—and we always be—a great way for people to build relationship with other people, either for; business, romance, friendship, education etc. What it all comes down to is a willingness to be creative because the possibilities are endless..

Our market

Event guest profile

Events are even more important today than ever. With the decline in moral and lack of confidence in the market, people are turning to entertainment and great events as an escape to the everyday strain. Our events, for instance, are attracting more people than the previous years, and once all are tallied, the numbers should exceed the10,000+ for the year. It is true, prices for these events has slightly dipped, but the crowd still remains the same young, optimist individuals that will grow the economy tomorrow (as shown to the left). Why not reach them today?

College Students (60%)- Studious, energic and youthful, college students’ population in Seattle alone is over 70,000 and makes up a major part of our target audience. Deemed as “poor” most of them are still dependent on their parents for support and have a disposable income not accounted for in their tax returns.

Our marketing campaigns reach (within Greater Seattle Area): •

•

Average HH income: $71,214

•

Median Age: 39.5

Young professionals (30%)-Hardworking, career oriented, this group constitutes about 40 percent of Seattle’s population. Even though they are barely in our target audience, they are a growing market and fit well with most companies needs. Socialites (10%)- High fashion, designer and trendsetting are the defining charactistics of this group. They represent a small percentage of the community, but are local celebrities in their own right. They work as; local artists, djs, models, radio

for young adults’ needs. However, there is nothing easy about the business we are in, but are success comes from how we approach our events in three major areas: The System Our system is a combination of event management applications and event marketing applications that allow us to do high quality events and host our own ticket processing solution online. This is the backbone of our company that gives us an advantage in saving time and money for ourselves and customers. The Idea

Amusement This is an annual event that the company puts together to support that Make-A-Wish Foundation. This event last year was a foam

Live Entertainment The Fantasy Cruise is a great activity for young adults with interest to enjoy a life of luxury on a private yacht for a few hours with great music and company. The cruise takes patrons along the Puget Sound to see all the sights.

Our underline theme for every event we produce is incorporating our own personal touch. This means that we try to meet everyone on a first name basis and search for common interests that can bring everyone together.That is the only set idea, everything else is about being creative, passionate and energic to motivate action—action drives our event. We can take an idea and portray an atmosphere that will entice people to come to our events. It is all about impressing them enough so that they can invite their friend; this means making events fun, purposeful, unique and focused on adding market research to add inspiration and ensure event success. The Elements Because every detail is important. Our company has made it our goal to work with the best companies in the area to help us put all the pieces together. Considering that there are many elements that goes into an event; tables, chairs, china, glassware, food, linens, flatware, tenting etc., our success comes from our vendors. We can count on them.

Charity

Networking

Orginally done for the MS Society, this event is open to non-profits to raise money for their cause. It’s low cost to them and easy for us since we have created a package for them to use.

Something that has changed Hollywood into being much more of a fashion mecca than a movie capital are their premiers. We have taken the same appoarch and designed a premier for several movies only playing in Seattle.

Vendor Program Venue Entertainment’s mission is to create ever-changing entertainment experiences to eventually serve the needs of the local community. It is our responsibility to provide our event guests and business partner’s with; quality entertainment, return on investment, and a sense of cultural involvement for the greater benefit of the community. Our company is in exclusive company wihin Washington State when it comes to producing its own events. We have identified our own market and invest in our own events. This means that we can create events at relatively any times; without needing to wait for a single client. For our business associates and event guests, this is a major advantage since we can directly mold our event around their needs. However, the reverse of this is that we need our affiliates to mold their services and products around our need to bring our events to life. We look for business associates that can offer products and services associated with producing events (list below). In exchange, our company assists our associates with connections, media recognition and exclusivity within our company’s network. We only use our associates as vendors in our events and pay them for their contribution within our event.
