Friday Night Live- Conference Sponsorships

26 Feb By 27 Comments

Every Friday night at 8:30pm central time we run a LIVE show. You can watch it at Stickam or on our new Social Networking page. Make sure you keep the LIVE page open in a different browser or you will miss the show! You stay commenting HERE in this post and watch/listen on the other post. Ask if you need help and everyone that shows up knows how to help, so no worries. You just be here at 8:30 central and we do the rest.

Alright ladies, tomorrow night we are talking about what everyone in the Blogosphere is talking about…….CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIPS. (And we know a thing or two about it because we had to get THREE for our main bloggers here for BlogHer)

We are going to answer questions like:

  • How do I get one?
  • What do I say to Sponsors?
  • Who do I approach?
  • Do I have to have specific traffic to compete?
  • What makes my blog special?
  • Should I talk to PR reps about Sponsorships.

We are going to walk you through step by step in getting a sponsorship for a conference and then we are going to follow it up with sample letters to help you even further.

Yes, we DO have a prize or two, but your going to have to wait till tomorrow to learn about them.

Who is going to be here?

BlogHer 09 Sponsorship Contest Feb 25

15 Feb By 50 Comments

sponsor1Looking for a BlogHer scholarship (ie sponsorship)? We have your ticket right here!

Label Daddy’s BlogHer 09 Contest in partnership with MomDot.com

MomDot has been sitting on this exciting announcement and we have been given the green light to take off with it. Label Daddy, a made in the USA personalized label company, recognizes how important  bloggers are and how important supporting the blog community is, and they are coming out to prove this in a BIG way.

While they are already fully sponsoring Sara from Momma Findings for the convention and sponsoring Bridgette, Alicia, and I’s hotel fees, they want to go even further and are offering to cover 2 bloggers convention fees (worth approx $200 a piece) and one full ride to BlogHer for a lucky blogger (including plane, convention fee, and hotel cost).

Do you know any other company offering 5  Blogher sponsorships for the Blogging Community? I don’t! Yeah for Label Daddy! We are so proud to be associated with them and all three MomDot MEOs thank them from the bottom of our hearts for assisting us in paving the way to BlogHer.

Now where do you come in? Label Daddy has partnered with MomDot to reach bloggers with this great opportunity and we are kicking off the sponsorship here! You will be allowed to enter the other partial  BlogHer 09 sponsorship contest for your convention fee on Sara’s page and the full ride (hotel, plane, and convention fees) directly on the Label Daddy page. You may enter ALL THREE, upping your chance of selection, and giving you three  separate chances to win one of the three scholarships. We are the first one to post our contest, and those other chances will be coming this week. I will alert the site when they all go LIVE on the other sites.

Please note that each contest is independent, which means to enter our convention fee contest, you must enter it on MomDot, to enter the second convention fee contest, you must enter it Saras page and to enter the Full Ride BlogHer scholarship, you must enter at Label Daddy ( coming feb 1st). Entries are not combined, therefore chances of winning will depend on amount of entries on each site.

SCHOLARSHIP:

We know how important BlogHer is……… not only to Blogs, but to companies! So to bring them together in this huge event, is amazing and know you want to attend. The parties, the glitz, the glamour…me talking your ear off and giving you hugs while you run in the other direction….what is better than that?

Nothing.

To be entered into our BlogHer Convention Fee contest we are requiring that you first blog about this contest to support the company that is so graciously supporting the blog community. Without companies like this, we all would be doing conventions via web cams instead of shaking hands in real life. I think our Etsy post this week showed us that not all companies appreciate the power and influence of the blogger and we should all applaud those companies that do!

Please include links to this post and to Label Daddy and put your anchors (ie links) on the words “Label Daddy BlogHer 09 Sponsorship” so others can find it.

After that, we want you to answer  the following question, in 500 words or less:

1) Why is the BlogHer convention important to you and how would this sponsorship assist you? *(sob stories, cheering, posters, begging, etc are all allowed…impress us with your excitement)

After your initial entry, you may enter as often as you want with new stories and reasons during the duration of the contest, as long as you tweet this contest before you put in an additional entry. Increased entries wont influence us in picking you, rather every entry will be judged on its own for the content of the answered question.

BlogHer '09 In Real Life*You may VLOG your entry or use pictures to illustrate your point, please leave the link for us to see if you do.  Please remember that our site has a spam protector so your link may be caught in our Moderation..we will uncatch it when we sign on*

MomDot will pick the person that moves us (that could be laughing, crying, thinking, etc…we have no specific definition of “moves”, but someone that just truly wants to go and it comes across) the most on Feb 25th, 2008, just in time to get the Early Bird convention fee special on BlogHer.Chances of winning dependent on how many entries there are. Convention fee scholarship worth approximately $200 .

PS Want to purchase some labels at a 10% discount? They could be used to illustrate your reason on wanting to go in your videos/pictures…stick your whole body in labels…lol..use the code LDMOMMY for discount code of 10% off Label Daddy labels

Looking for Sponsorship for Blogging Convention

15 Jan By Leave a Comment

sponsorship-logoWhile there are several great companies that MomDot has worked with in the past that I will be approaching individually, I wanted to put up a post directed to all of the company owners, product sponsorship/review companies, and PR Reps that visit on a daily basis, but we dont always have a contact for.

MomDot is looking to be in attendance for Mom2.0 in Houston (Feb) and for BlogHer(July) later this year. Unfortunately, combined with plane tickets, conference fees, and other associated costs with going, this makes these conferences quite high to attend.

We are reaching out to our wonderful community of companies and letting you know that we are looking for a few amazing ones who would be willing sponsor or partially sponsor one or both of these trips. Attending conferences is a great way to be further established in the blogging community by creating  face to face relationships, networking with other bloggers, and having a free exchange of informational learning. This year, we additionally want to be able to share our brand new blogging charity project BloggersGive.com and need a voice in attendance that can not only be a figurehead for our main blog, but our charity blog as well.

We believe we can bring our experiences back to our community in ways that not only will benefit the numerous bloggers that cannot attend, but also assist the companies themselves by opening up doors that allow our site to grow more roots into our online community.

When we succeed, all of our visitors and companies succeed as well.

We would love to talk to you about our associated costs, how we can make this a partnership between our site and your company, and how we can grow together in the next year.

Please contact me directly  at MomDot@live.com

Thank you for consideration,

Trisha
