90p Admin

MotM sponsorship thoughts. Since everything went so quickly yesterday (last Silver spot just sold btw) ... a few stragglers are coming to me today asking if there are spots available. Are there any other promotional spots that we want to sell? T-shirts? (with conference and sponsor details on them) Notepads for attendees? Anything else? I'm not being very imaginative this morning so I'm looking for ideas and approximate sponsorship amounts. I could probably procure another $1500+ if I have something to offer.

I am thinking some nice magnetic name tags people can where. With name and location.

90mins logo / name/ location

Probably $20 a piece or less.

I'll get a quote

Or you can leave them hungry for the next opportunity...

I'm sorta with Robert - I say that we use this to build a sort of exclusivity so that the next time we go back for sponsorship the companies are eager to sign up quickly. The one thing that I think we should do is have a central database of this information. @JimWoodhead would you be willing to research CRM systems that could hold this info?

Like. Salesforce.com

I am on it

I would also like to get a list of our main contacts - as we have people inquire about products and we refer them I want to be sure that these contacts know where the lead is coming from.

It would work easiest for me if we could do this in 90 Minds shared spreadsheet (Google Docs)

Ok - sponsorships are officially closed. The only additional $$$ will be if they want to send someone to the conference events or meals.

Good idea. @PeterWolf can we create a Google Doc with sponsor contact info so that we all know contact info for admin and for sales. If someone is a sponsor - such as Scanco - provided that we're confident in their product I'd like to be sure that we're recommending them for inquiries. Same with EDI, Sales Tax, etc. And when we make those recommendations or make a web posting I want to be sure to email the sponsor contact so that they notice we have made extra effort to promote them.

I'll get this set up at the end of the day.

Can you use this document - https://docs.google.com/a/community.90minds.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoB99YPgnHqMdEZGRl9uWmJLWkRETmc2RDVJVmlvQ0E&usp=sharing

Change anything you want - just trying to keep as much in one place as possible

I'm thinking that this blurb (""We are not sponsored by any vendor or publisher."") will probably need to be removed from the website now.

Well, 90Minds isn't, just their conferences....

We're offering them placement on the website, aren't we?

Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds? Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds? Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?! Churchill: Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

Yup!
