Sponsorship Information
How
are Sponsor Contributions Used? |
Exhibitor fees pay less than half the cost of the Expo. The rest comes from Sponsorships! Without sufficient sponsors, there's no way to bring you the high quality events and speakers you have come to expect from FMCA, while keeping the cost to attend so low. A second goal is to bring in enough revenue from this Expo to expand FMCA's Member Services -- an idea that can be boiled down to having someone in the office to answer the phone and handle your issues when our Executive Director is on the road -- as he increasingly is! |
There's no better way to show your support!

Gold Sponsor
Questions? |
We've already paid for a booth, but we want to sponsor! For Silver Sponsors and greater, your booth cost will be deducted from your sponsorship contribution. What if we don't want a booth (or table)? We can work out a trade -- a table at the Awards Banquet, for example. We've already registered for hotel rooms. For Gold Sponsors and greater, your room cost will be deducted from your sponsorship contribution. What do we get with the rooms as part of our sponsorship? The cost of the room only. Taxes, room charges, or upgrades are not part of your sponsorship package. Can we get an upgrade? If any upgrades are available, yes. But you are responsible for the cost of the upgrade. Can we offer to host a specific event at part of our sponsorship? Absolutely! Start by speaking with our Conventions Chair, Eric Hermann: 239- 332-1595. What if you run out of rooms and suites? We'll figure something out; minimally, we'll adjust the value of your contribution accordingly. How long a press release? Up to 250 words, plus a quarter-page-sized picture with 30 word maximum cut-line. Copy must be sent electronically. Photos must be 266 DPI in TIF, JPG, or EPS format. Any other questions? |
