Sponsorship Levels

ShoWorks events provide the opportunity to showcase your company to a specifically targeted audience. We offer a variety of sponsorship options that include showcasing in all events or in individual events. These options are not set in stone. We welcome your creativity! Let us help you accomplish your goals.

Alliance sponsorship can help you to reach YOUR specific business goals:

• Enhance your company image -- Looking for ways to make your company look great! Sponsoring events can shape buying attitudes and help generate a positive image.
• Increase Sales -- Showcase your product and provide an incentive for taking advantage of a coupon. This is your audience… make sure they know what you are selling!
• Stand out from your competitors -- The mere act of sponsoring an event, especially an exclusive sponsorship, is a significant way to create competitor differentiation. Your company name has the opportunity to stand out head and shoulders above the competition. Sponsorship allows smaller companies to compete with their industry giants.
• Grow your "Corporate Citizen" image -- Be seen supporting small business and contributing to their economic development – and take the opportunity to “Roar!!”.
