Re: Sponsorship Opportunities for Maple Grove Days July 12-15, 2012

The official kick-off for planning Maple Grove Days 2012 has begun! Our city is fortunate to continue its economic growth in residential development during the past few years. With the addition of the Town Green, additional Ice Arena, new Sports Dome and numerous business offerings Maple Grove continues ot offer the best to the 63,000 current residents and potential future residents. This and more makes Maple Grove a #1 consideration for commercial development also.

Maple Grove Community Organization takes pride in offering a first class festival; it is a reputation that brings over 30,000 visitors annually to the celebration. We would like to extend an invitation to you to join in the festivities July 12-15, 2012.

Current economic trends show us that even in challenging times the need for celebrations are high, life style events take an added significance during stressful times. There may be a cut back on spending but not on spending time with friends and family. It's a proven fact festivals do better in slower economic times and the upward swing in attendance validates this, as people look for fun and entertainment closer to home, a break from the weekly routines. The continued attendance growth of Maple Grove Days substantiates this fact.

As you look at putting your marketing dollars to work in 2012 please consider investing in Maple Grove as a sponsor of the community festival. As a Maple Grove Days Sponsor, you will:

• Reach 100 percent potential customers
• Leverage your company/organization visibility
• Make your marketing dollars work twice as hard
• Not only support your community but be viewed as a participant of the community.

Comparison of purchasing individual ad space to your company listing as a sponsor, sponsorship gains you ownership in the festival, the personal interaction by being linked with the festival, breaking out of the institutional ad vision and moving into the community involvement. Past sponsor have reported increased customer business during the month in part due to their company's recognition at the Maple Grove Days celebration. With events ranging from a parade, to children's activities, business expo, art fair, bed races, food and entertainment there are countless opportunities for your business to become involved. We offer team building opportunities for your employees and members.

Your company will receive recognition in the official Maple Grove Days Guide produced by Prime Advertising, Osseo/Maple Grove Press MGD's Special Edition, and more, with over 50,000 printed listing of your company you will receive extensive exposure. Direct mailing of the MGD's Guide to over 26,000 homes and 1000's more copies available to the public at numerous locations throughout the community, other announcements strategically place in the newspaper, radio and television plus added exposure year round from the Maple Grove Days website; www.maplegrovedays.org and links, the potential is GREAT! Additional advertising opportunities are available with Prime Advertising & Osseo/MG Press.
