Tips for Writing Effective Sponsorship Letters

Personalize Every Letter

Never send generic letters. Research the sponsor and reference specific details about their business or values.

Lead with Benefits, Not Needs

Don't start with "We need money." Start with "Here's what you'll gain." Make it about them.

Be Specific with Numbers

Instead of "great exposure," say "Logo seen by 5,000+ attendees." Quantify everything.

Include Clear Next Steps

Tell them exactly what to do next: call you, email back, visit a website, or expect your follow-up call.

Use Professional Letterhead

Include your logo, address, and contact info. Use quality paper for mailed letters.

Follow Up Within 1 Week

Don't wait for them to respond. Call or email to confirm they received the letter and discuss next steps.
