1. Put Your Business in the Spotlight 2. Get in Front of Your Target ...
The CSI Annual Convention will be held in conjunction with CONSTRUCT, September 13-15, 2017 in Providence, Rhode Island. Sponsorships are now available, and there are options for exhibitors as well as non-exhibitors.
1. Put Your Business in the Spotlight Having a presence at a CSI event at CONSTRUCT positions you and your business as an authority in the commercial construction industry. You gain respect and credibility by standing out from the pack of attendees and prominently displaying your products and marketing materials. Instead of just attending CSI events at CONSTRUCT and looking for people to share your business card with, sponsorship brings attendees who are eager to find out about your business directly to you.
2. Get in Front of Your Target Market CSI is spending time and money marketing CSI events at CONSTRUCT to your target audience, bringing these attendees into the room. Your job is to come prepared to take full advantage of this opportunity by making sure to create eye catching, professional signs, marketing materials and product displays that draw attendees to you.
3. Lead Generation and New Contacts Be sure to have some sort of lead generation system in place the day of the CSI event you select to sponsor. People will give up business cards and email addresses in exchange for a chance to win a great prize in a drawing, samples or candy at CSI Night Out. Or think about sponsoring a signature drink at the CSI Welcome Reception. Be creative! We can work with you to develop other promotional item giveaways that will meet your needs.
4. Get Your Brand Noticed Being featured in the Honors & Awards Guide, or on CSIResources with your logo and having a giveaway at an event like CSI Night Out are all great ways to leverage your sponsorship and get brand recognition.
5. New Clients, New Customers, New Business Not only are CSI members and other event attendees potential new clients and customers, so are your fellow sponsors! You can form new business partnerships and meet like-minded industry professionals who also want exposure to the CSI audience, but are not in competition. Check out all of the CSI sponsorship opportunites at the Welcome Reception, Young Professionals Mixer, Honors & Awards and CSI Night Out to determine which event will best meet your needs.
6. Give Attendees a "Taste" of Your Business Bringing samples to a CSI event at CONSTRUCT as giveaways are a terrific way to capture attention from attendees. Be creative and think of out-of-the-box ways to stand out -- we can help you do this! By sharing a sample or trial offer of your product, you engage attendees and increase your chances of turning them into new customers. Let us know what you'd like to accomplish and we can provide you with the opportunities that will best meet your needs!
7. Market Your Business Inexpensively We all know how much advertising your business can cost. It can run five thousand dollars or more to place an ad in a well-known local publication for only one time! Spending that same amount or less to sponsor a CSI event at CONSTRUCT is a much wiser investment that will bring a greater return on investment. Remember, you will be in the same room with hundreds of CSI members and other attendees who are your target market. By leveraging the event to your advantage, there will be no limit on your potential ROI! Sponsorships start at just $500 and can be tailored to meet your needs and budget.
