Sponsored by Kemp and Kemp

I have to say a big thank you to my Dad. Over christmas I asked him about the professional manner in approaching companies for sponsorship. Whether it was better to just send a letter. Act as a door by door salesman. Or simply give a telephone call. Possibly a combination or a mix of all three? My dad being a busy man said probably letter or email. But it's about being noticed. I know in the restaurant business that that tactic is very difficult (having first hand experience working in the industry for two years) His bit of advise was that it's about the personal connection to the exhibition, the possible gain? Particularly in the climate it's difficult to 'cold' business involved in your work. Would they really want to hand over that kind of money? It was there and then that my Dad said he'd happily sponsor us.
