Eco Chic Craftacular Sponsorship Program

SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION About the Show and Who We Are Eco Chic Craftacular is an alternative juried show that will feature over 60 independent handmade crafters and artists to show and sell their wares. Vendors looking to enter the event are required to have 50% of their items considered eco-friendly. Visitors will have a chance to ob- serve and be inspired by how local artists combine traditional skills with eco-friendly materials and methods. They will also be able to peruse alternative offerings such as vegan lip balm, clutch purses made with vintage fabrics, and upcycled home décor items. This annual show, affectionately named “Columbus Craftacular”, will be run by the Etsy street team, Etsy Team Columbus (ETC). The team was established in 2008, for the purpose of allowing Columbus area artists and crafters who sell their handmade art and wares on the popular Buy/Sell Handmade site Etsy (www.etsy.com), to communicate and collaborate on a regular basis. We are now a team of over 60 strong and have established ourselves as an integral part of the Columbus, Ohio artistic community! Sponsorship Opportunities Etsy Team Columbus (ETC) is promoting the Eco-Chic Craftacular in conjunction with Whetstone Community Center and we are looking for sponsors that will help in this endeavor to make the show a big success. Show dates are May 22 and 23, 2010. Sponsorship benefits both your business and our event. Your business will have visibility on our various marketing materials and in turn will be promoted in line with the eco-friendly theme of the event. This year, we are very excited to have received a grant from Etsy for this event and will receive editorial coverage via Etsy’s Storque newsletter that goes out to a large percentage of Etsy’s hundreds and thousands of sellers and buyers. We will also have printed materials such as postcards, flyers, programs, posters and print advertisements in local publications. For traffic driven to the event website (columbuscraftacular.com), sponsor logos and links to websites and blogs will be displayed so visitors have the opportunity to learn more about your business by heading to your site. We will also market via our Twitter and Facebook pages leading up to our event and include sponsors names to help build awareness and bring traffic to your website. Last but not least, it helps to know that a good portion of your money goes to- wards supporting Local Matters (www.local-matters.org) whose mission is to transform the food system to be more secure, prosperous, just and delicious Page 1 of 3 with strategic community partnerships.
