Sponsorship 101
Chrysalis 501(c)(3) DBA/Dream Catcher Balloon is excited for your interest in our program. We are always on the look out for those individuals and corporations who want to add the human element into personal and business lives. Every donation is invested 100% into giving a hot air balloon ride for those who have dreams of flying but have held back due to financial, environmental, or physical limitations. As a sponsor, you can give back the opportunity to have a Dream Flight and be a hero.
A hot air balloon is one of the most cost effective advertising mediums available to a company. Promotionally, balloons create a deep impression in the minds of your potential customers - once seen, never forgotten!
We are open to the following:
- Sponsor for Travel Accommodations (Hotels, Airfare, Shipping, Gas, Food)
- Sponsors for Events (Propane, Event Costs and Fees, Brochures, Buttons, and Gear)
- Corporate
Research has consistently indicated that the 'retention factor' for a balloon is more than 5 times than that for more conventional promotional media. With this media exposure, it is easy to think of the Dream Catcher Balloon when looking for a different way to focus attention on your company.
Direct cost of balloon advertising per 1,000 opportunities "to see" your product or service is lower than the figure for print or television advertising. Sponsoring a hot air balloon which is ADA friendly and gives back by paying it forward, makes Dreams come true and is a winning combination for success.
A majority of Americans now say they get their news via social media. When the Dream Catcher Balloon gives rides to everyone including mobility challenged individuals, seniors, Veterans and Warriors cameras capture the moment that bucket list is fulfilled or a life challenge is overcome. Family, friends, caregivers, and passersby pull out their smart phones, take videos and pictures, and post to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media locations. Quite simply it's in our nature as human beings to be interested in the things that happen to fellow human beings.
A human interest story puts people at the heart of the event. Doing this brings a two-fold benefit by giving the reader someone to relate to and taps into our natural curiosity in the lives of others.
Thank you for your interest in being a sponsor of the Dream Catcher Balloon.
Corporate Billboard
A great way to bring your company to life and create goodwill at any event is to be a Corporate Sponsor. A 35' x 15' banner space on two sides of our special shaped balloon are available. Each banner is made of a special light weight polyurethane coated rip stop nylon at a cost of $1,000 each banner. This includes a full color billboard graphic and can be reused each time the Dream Catcher Balloon is at a public event or flying the local area skies. Cost of events vary per area. Events cost $1,000 to $1,500 plus travel and garnish amazing media potential.
As a Corporate Sponsor, we would be pleased to sit down and talk about the potential to give back and also enjoy a tax deductible donation to our Chrysalis 501(c)(3). Thank you again for your interest in our non-profit organization.
We are happy to be of service.
