isit Black Houston is extremely unorthodox in our approach and our perspective won’t accept artificial limits to our mutual success.

We are proud to present this proposal with the intention of empowering show producers and organizers through traditional sponsorship and advertising opportunities. The complete package is designed to make you self sufficient in regards to researching and assembling sponsorship packages so you won’t have to pay anyone in the future.

“There is only one boss.

THE CUSTOMER. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down simply by spending his money somewhere else.”

APPENDIX A We understand that it might be more practical to purchase certain components in order to stay within your budgetary constraints so each item has an investment fee next to it, i.e. ($100) , ($400), ($200). Which means you can purchase these items as needed and as can be afforded.

The complete package can be divided into 2 payments however, the work will not begin until the payment is made in full.

If necessary, we can finance everything through PayPal for 6 months, no interest, which means it’s the same as cash.

This will affect the final total however it is not required to be paid when the total is paid. These upgrade options can paid as needed on a 50% deposit and 50% when the work is completed basis when the upgrades exceed $500.

For example, if a 40 page souvenir book costs $25,000 when produced and distributed for 50,000 quantity and a full page costs $2,000 Then one souvenir book can generate a little more than $80k approximately, gross. $80k - $25k production costs = $55k net $55k divided by 2 = $27,500 net for Visit Black Houston & $27,500 net for your organization if revenue sharing is 50/50.
