Why Most Events Struggle to Close Sponsors

Lack of Knowledge of the Sponsorship Impact

Over-reliance on ticket sales for revenue.

Not Using Professionals

Using overworked staff with limited time or expertise to manage sponsor outreach.

Weak proposals

Not understanding today’s environment with using an outdated approach and not knowing what sponsors are looking for in a proposal.

Lack of Data

Using attendee numbers without audience data and ROI data for potential sponsors

Testimonials

I brought TSE in to run sponsorships for a festival my previous employer was putting on and, from start to finish, really enjoyed working with their team. … For any smaller organization who doesn’t have an in-house sponsorship team, I’d really recommend reaching out to TSE. They help you minimize your financial risk while still bringing in an experienced team to help you add another revenue stream. They were great!
Sean ZellerMinnesota Ice Festival, Eagan, MN
TSE Entertainment has been an absolute game-changer for our organization… locked in 2 large sponsorships with Big Name Companies within a few months and he demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to our success… we've not only exceeded our sponsorship targets but also forged invaluable partnerships that will continue to benefit us in the long term. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve Wilson & TSE Entertainment to any organization seeking to maximize their sponsorship potential.
