New Sponsorship Opportunities

The National Blueberry Festival Committee, would like to extend a heart-felt “thank you” to all of the current sponsors who year after year contribute to making this event successful, and take this opportunity to offer some exciting new sponsorship opportunities to both current and potential sponsors.

In an effort to continue to build upon the success of this event, our online presence has been upgraded, and this addition has added value to both the Festival as a whole, and each sponsoring business in particular.  The website has generated over 22,000 pageviews during the last month, putting sponsoring businesses in the view of a truly national audience.

Desiring to raise the profile of the festival and increase the value of the festival to its sponsors even further, a local web design and marketing firm, Monarch, has taken the initiative to create a mobile site, install a live chat feature to the conventional site, and manage the social media presence for the festival.  In addition there will be staff on the ground to report live from the event on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

These new media outlets are providing new ways for local businesses to benefit and sponsor the Festival.  You can associate your company’s brand with this national event by sponsoring  the live chat, adding your banner to the mobile site, or having the social media team visit your place of business during the festival.

In appreciation for their faithful support, our current sponsors have been automatically included in the new mobile site at no cost.  If you’ve been waiting to become a sponsor, or would like to upgrade your sponsorship, now is a great time to support the work of the committee.
