Why You Should Sponsor Me for a Conference

Has your company thought about sponsoring a Mom blogger for BlogHer ‘10? What is BlogHer? BlogHer is an annual conference that “will bring bloggers from every corner of the blogosphere together for hands-on learning, rich discussions, opportunities to meet with the brands that support them and plentiful networking opportunities.” BlogHer ’10 will take place on August 6-7, in New York City I will be in contact with over 2000+ other bloggers and brands over the weekend.
In short what I am offering you is that I would be a walking, talking, blogging, picture and video, social media billboard for your brand/company. What I as well as a few other Mom Bloggers try to offer is a face and a smile to go along with the brand that would be sponsoring us. A way to identify and get that connection. Plus it’s way for me as a blogger to learn more about my craft and to become better at it. That’s why I look at it as a win/win situation between the brand who is sponsoring me and my coverage. Right now for BlogHer I am looking for sponsors to cover my conference ticket,hotel, and transportation costs. In total it would be: $1200 until Feb. 28th then the Early Bird pricing will be no longer available. The sponsors paying the full amount would have Platinum status. In return you would receive:
- Above the fold advertising for 1 year with 1 post a month for 6 months advertising your company.
- I would wear a t-shirt promoting your brand on all my travel days.
- I would host a Swag Event in my suite where everyone would come up to my suite for a few hours and I would speak about your brand. I could also hand out some promotional items such as business cards, coupons with a small discount, pens, note cards, bags, etc.
- I would also be live blogging and tweeting during the event with tweeting links to your company every 6 hours or so.
- I could also get a skin to cover my laptop promoting your brand.
- The most important part of being a brand ambassador to me is bringing a southern smile and promoting your brand WITHOUT coming off as being Spammy
Here is information on the conference itself along with the hotel:

The conference ticket, and hotel would be a total of roughly $1200. I would cover all personal expenses. *whew* That was a mouthful. Thanks again for your time and consideration.

Good luck! Also, if you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, that sold out early last year – end of Jan/early Feb. I think. So you might want to buy now and you can always sell it later.
