yes, you'll have to set the DJ up in a hotel, pay for his food, and whatnot.
what you can do is make a budget of your absolute necessities. this is your real budget, the one you HAVE to cover. it is for your eyes only. then make another budget, but as bulked up as possible, without going overboard of course. this is what you present to sponsors. i'm not telling you to go in and lie to them, but you have to know what figures you NEED to cover, whilst trying to take advantage of as much money as they're willing to give to you.
talk with a large drink company, one that manages various brands. in this country, we have 3 groups, that compete with eachother. each manages a vodka, whisky, soft dirnk, rum and bottled water brand. we would normally meet with each, and take the best offer. many times, one group will better their offer just to make sure no other group gets you. they may be able to set you up with an open bar. if they do this, you may jack up the ticket price. or, maybe you could do an "open bar till 1AM" thing, so that way, the initial open bar lures people in, and you still make winnings from the bar afterwards.
that or maybe a welcome drink or shot or something. or drinks half off before 12. you figure out what's best for you. |
How do you get sponsors...
