12 Days of Thank You

Sponsors & Partners Thank You #2:

This tip comes from one of our Raise a Dream community members:

"Two ways to meaningfully thank a sponsor, would be to:

• Share (through video, text, images) what was made possible thanks to their contribution—e.g. life-changing event, supporting a life/organization, getting books to those who couldn't otherwise have access—via platforms you're on where their audience engages.
• Highlight what they offer, and what humane qualities make them the best choice in delivering that offering.”

As a virtual keynote speaker and two-time best-selling author, I focus on resilience through authenticity, self-acceptance and individual sovereignty, also delivering business talks exploring mindful entrepreneurship across feasible schedules, lean process and pricing. Always, what I share invites you to embrace what resonates and release what does not—on some level you know that you already have the answers within.

Sponsors & Partners Thank You #3:

Write a blog or article and weave in a story about your champion, partners, or sponsor. Tell a story versus saying, "Thank you for being our sponsor." Stories get shared and repeated.

Sponsors & Partners Thank You #4:

Engage on one of your partner’s social posts and recognize them publicly in front of their audience. Be a champion for what matters for them.

Sponsors & Partners Thank You #5:

This tip is from another of our Raise a Dream community members:

"My favourite way to appreciate a sponsor (or even a volunteer board) is to create a video using photos or video clips from the event or the past year. Order the images so that a story unfolds, add some royalty-free music, and save it to a thumb drive or DVD. (You can find some helpful tips for video creation here.)”
