When sponsoring an event, charity, sports team, or other organization, maximize your sponsorship by leveraging creativity and promotional products to leave a lasting impression.
Design Tip - How to Send Your Logo
Many sponsorships come with the opportunity to have your logo included on a t-shirt and other event materials. Make sure your logo stands out by using these tips:
Send Vector Files You don't know how big or small your logo might be used. Vector files are infinitely scalable, so your logo will look nice and crisp no matter where it's used. SVG files are vector and can be used on both websites and print materials.
Send 2 Files: Color and B&W Use the colors in your logo to your advantage in full color applications, like banners and flyers. But often items like t-shirts are printed in only one color. Sending in your own version of a one color (aka B&W) logo gives you control on how your logo prints.
Have a Dedicated One Color Logo, NOT Grayscale When printing in one color or B&W, you want as much contrast as possible. If you convert to grayscale, all of your colors become gray and blend in more. Try to have a logo that's purely black to maximize contrast and clarity.
Need help converting your logo to vector or creating a one color logo? We can help!

Sponsorship Opportunities
Community Sports Teams
Little League, summer sports, and even adult sports teams are always looking for sponsors to help their team.
School Sports
Even if you don't have kids who are students at that school, encourage the success of youth by sponsoring a high school, middle school, or even elementary school sports team.
Extracurricular Activities
Look beyond sports for ways you can support local schools. Band, theater, dance, and more also need sponsors.
Charity Events
Show your company values by sponsoring a charity event like golf outings, runs, galas, auctions and more.
Business Events
Nonprofit business organizations are often looking for sponsors at their events, which gets your brand in front of a targeted audience.
Influencers
An innovative new way to get your brand out to an engaged audience is partnering with growing accounts on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and other social media.
Promotional Products for Sponsorships
Many sponsorship opportunities allow you to provide a giveaway for attendees. 90% of people who receive a promotional product remember the brand name. Giving a physical item instead of a printed flyer makes a significantly bigger impact.
