What is Sponsorship?

Sponsorship by businesses is essentially advertising. Whilst being an extremely cost effective way of marketing a business or service, sponsoring HAODS and Hey Kids also supports us in bringing musical theatre to the local area.

Sponsorship takes three main forms:
· Main Sponsorship
· Quarter, half or full page sponsorship
· Page or character sponsorship

Main Sponsorship*                                                                                                                         

Allows a business to be our main sponsor. For an agreed sum our main sponsor is entitled:

· To have their name on all promotional material including banners, tickets, programmes and local press releases and articles;

· To place their own publicity material in the foyer of the Heywood Civic Centre during show weeks;

· To two free tickets per performance of our two productions.

Quarter, Half and Full-Page Sponsorship*

Allows smaller businesses to place adverts in our programme. As with our main sponsor, the advert can use artwork provided by your business or we can design the advert for you.

Individual Sponsorship*

Friends, family and members of the public can sponsor a character from the show in our programme.

*All sponsorship fees cover both our adult HAODS production and our October Hey Kids production. One price – two productions.

How sponsorship can benefit your business

· Potential readership of 4,000 + per production (audience)
· Potential secondary readership of 4,000 + per production
· Positive public perception of your business

If you wish to sponsor the society or place an advert in the programme, please contact us and our sponsorship secretary will be only too happy to discuss your needs.
