SPONSORED EVENTS AND DONATIONS PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE HERE AT BELLE OF DAYTON.
We are very thankful for you and all of our followers and those who believe in us here at the Belle of Dayton. Sponsored events and donations play a very important role here at the Belle of Dayton Distillery. Through these events, we are able to not only give back to the communities we sell our spirits in, but also get to have a great time with our fans! We are always looking for new opportunities and welcome your suggestions and applications.
Please keep in mind that while we would love to be able to participate in everything, we sometimes must respectfully decline. We do have a few guidelines we follow for all sponsorships and donations, please read through them below before proceeding to our application.
TIMING
Requests must be submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the event start date or the date the donation is needed. Any events submitted with less than 8 weeks notice will automatically be declined. We want to give every event we are involved in the best chance for success, which means we need time to plan prior to the event date to allow for logistics, availability of product, proper promotion, etc. While 8 weeks is our minimum time requirement, additional time is always appreciated, especially for larger events.
LOCATION
While we would love to participate in events all over the country, we can only consider requests from states we currently sell our spirits in.
INTERACTION
We do very little traditional advertising- instead we focus our efforts on sponsorships. When we partner with an event or an organization, we like to be involved! That said, if your proposal only involves a logo placement, we will politely decline in favor of events that offer us a chance to interact with our fans.
PRODUCT DONATION
We are always happy to consider requests for donations of Belle of Dayton swag/etc. for fundraisers and events! That said, we do not partner with religious organizations, sports teams, individual athletes, bands, weddings, or golf outings. There are simply too many to choose from.
We also will not partner with any schools/universities or anything related to children. We take responsible marketing very seriously and do not think that schools/universities, children and liquor mix.
Please complete the attached sponsor/donation application as detailed as possible, and submit via email.
