Finding ways to attract business partners and sponsorships is a common challenge for the charities we support. Over the last year we have run a series of workshops with businesses and charities to find out what works and how partnerships between charities and businesses can create a win-win for both parties.
In this online session, we will explore different successful strategies for charities.
With hands-on activities, template emails and social media posts designed to turn 'cold' connections to 'warm' and local businesses into partners.
This session will include:
+ Understanding the 4 factors that create a successful partnership.
+ Creating a partnership strategy and action plan.
+ How to use the Purposeful Partnership Model to build great partnerships.
+ How to communicate the benefits of partnerships and demonstrate what you deliver to businesses.
+ Three essential strategies to support your sponsorship campaigns.
During the session you will receive template emails and social media posts designed to turn 'cold' connections to 'warm.'
