Sponsors of events should be given gifts to show appreciation, but they should be useful and appropriate without being too personal. Personalized gifts with the event name and thanks are appropriate, as are gifts related to the sponsor’s interests or hobbies. Expensive gifts like tickets to events or gift cards are also appropriate for high-status sponsors. Personalized gifts can help encourage future sponsorship funding.
Businesses and corporations often choose to sponsor people and events for a variety of reasons, including enhancing their public image and attracting a potentially new customer base. When these companies choose to offer money and resources to support an event, it is considered common sense and common sense to provide sponsors with gifts to show your appreciation. In most cases, these gifts are given to the person who approved the sponsorship, as well as any staff members who may have contributed to the donation. The trick is to choose gifts that are useful and appropriate without being too personal. It is important to consider the individual’s gender and position within the company when choosing a gift.
It’s not uncommon to choose gifts from sponsors that both men and women will like. Personalized sponsor gifts engraved with the name of the event and personal thanks are always appropriate for a person of any age and gender. If the sponsor’s interests or hobbies are known, it is also appropriate to send a gift within a particular theme, such as a personalized golf shirt to commemorate the event and sponsorship. Gifts that can be used in the office are also excellent ideas and can include attractive paperweights, a set of pens or a desk clock.
The person who extended sponsorship funding and resources is likely to hold a high position in society, and sponsor gifts should reflect that status. It is not unusual or inappropriate to extend reasonably expensive gifts if funds are available, such as tickets to sporting or cultural events and gift cards or restaurant certificates. Many people choose to give this type of gift when they are sure that the gesture will be well received and appreciated. The sponsor’s staff can usually provide you with good ideas for sponsorship gifts as well.
If you choose to offer personalized sponsor gifts, it should be personalized with the sponsor and company name, the name of the event and, if possible, the date. This practice helps remember the sponsor of your organization or event, as well as encourage future sponsorship funding. Personalized gifts can even be more than an engraved plaque, and many people thank their sponsors with event shirts, hats, and jackets. These gifts are useful, remind the sponsor of their generosity and your appreciation, and are often well thought out and appropriate for the occasion.
