Children and adults alike enjoy going up in
hot air balloons. The chance to soar high above the ground and see
everything differently isn’t something that you get to do every day. If
you have a hot air balloon and want to make a serious career out of
hot air ballooning, then you should look for sponsorships. Keep in
mind that hot air ballooning can only happen in the warmer months. So
if you live somewhere cold you have a couple choices, move somewhere
where it’s always warm. Or travel around during the cold places to
cities that are warmer. There are many other tips below.
Contact
fairs and see if they will be willing to let you rent out a space at
the fair ground. While this doesn’t seem much like sponsorship, it has
great potential. If you go to the same fairground month after month,
then you will get the chance to meet the fairground manager and get the
opportunity to ask for a free couple of days. There are other things
that you could get as well. Fairgrounds have to advertise and if you
have a good working relationship with the fairground manager, you could
ask for larger publicity on the flyers.
Contact local businesses and ask if they would like a unique way to
advertise. Publicity stunts such as sky writing or dragging a flyer
behind a plane or
hot air balloon often attract a lot of attention and local
businesses are willing to pay that. Take a sponsorship proposal with
you as you to talk to the business and explain what you have in mind.
Try to go the distance.
Hot air ballooning races, such as going across country or the world
attract lots of attention. And sponsors are eager to get some attention
as well. Start planning where you could go and how long it will take
you and then take your idea to the press. You’ll find that many
sponsors will start to contact you. If you don’t have sponsors contact
you, then you should go to them. Take the press coverage that you got
and go talk to them and you’ll see that they will be ready to become
your sponsors.
If this sounds like something that interests you, consider contacting
