Are you looking for a way to partner with Monterey Bay Parent? We have sponsorship opportunities available. Sponsorships are a great way to support an event or promotion that your customers care about. Your business or organization is then associated with the event by customers and attendees.
Why sponsor?
- You'll build brand awareness outside of traditional advertising. When you're associated with a fun event like our Back to School Bash or our annual Cover Kids Contest, parents see that you are aligned with their values and support the same things they do.
- Increasing brand awareness goes hand-in-hand with increasing sales, and sponsorship opportunities allow you to introduce consumers to your product in a way that encourages them to learn more about your business.
- Differentiate yourself from competitors. When you sponsor an event or promotion with us you're going to stand out from your competitors.
- Generate new leads. If you're sponsoring an event or promotion, you have the opportunity to connect with potential customers who have a need for what you offer.
