Personal websites are always fun and sometimes a challenge. This was a little venture into making an “all-video” type website.

Why Would I Sponsor That?
Posted by AcktiveMedia on Feb 22, 2010 in Blog | 0 comments
Sponsorships are a great way to embed yourself and your businees in the community. Deciding which sponsorship makes sense is a skill that must be learned by small and large businesses. You want to make sure the sponsorship makes sense. Sponsoring a golfing tournament which raises money for a little known charity may seem like a noble cause. But let’s face it, if the only time you mention the charity is the week leading up to the event, then maybe it’s time to rethink your participation.
Sponsorships can be a huge drain on resources and time. Taking on a sponsorship is a committment. It isn’t a quick public relations gimmick. If the charity or sponsorship is a part of your overall strategy as a business, then go for it! Participate year round in the fundraising and/or publicity of the event. Use your website to drive traffic to the event’s web presence. Tell people about charity month’s ahead of time. Make it a point to integrate the mission of the charity as one you value as a person and as a business. You’ll be better off as a company if you just said no to a sponsorship opportunity then if you said yes, and gave no effort. Sponsorships become cheap and meaningless when the only time you talk about them is when the event is about to happen. Successful sponsorships come from committment. Know of any worthwhile sponsorships? What’s worked in your opinion? What hasn’t?

If I sign up, what happens next?
One of our filmmakers or production coordinators will contact you to schedule your shoot and answer any questions you have.
Once scheduled, we’ll send you a confirmation email that includes a link to a web site that will help you get ready for your shoot: Shoot Guide
On the day of the shoot, the filmmaker will show up at the appointed time and spend about 1 hour with you – 20 minutes of preparation, 20 minutes shooting an interview with you and 20 minutes of shooting your business in action.
About 7 to 10 days after the shoot, we will email you a link that will allow you to view your video and request edits to it.
Once you approve the video, we’ll send you the video player code that you’ll need to put the video on your web site.
What if I don’t want to be on camera?
No problem. Anyone can speak on behalf of your company, not just you. You can also speak off-camera — we use your voice telling your story, but you don’t have to be seen in the video. Another great option is having one or two customers share their experience to help tell your story.
I’m overwhelmed!
Shooting a video can seem to be a daunting task, but with just a little preparation on your part and an hour of your time on shoot day, we can truly make a professional, high-quality video that tells your story. We are here for you every step of the way, so if you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask the filmmaker assigned to making your video.
