Become a Sponsor

Those of you who have sponsored us in the past will notice significant changes in our sponsorship benefits this year. We will no longer print a program guide, and this is why: Our website is a little over a year old. In the last three months alone we have had nearly 1300 unique visitors, nearly 9,000 page views, an average of 4.4 pages per visit and 3:25 minutes per visit, and—most notably—an only 7.41% bounce rate (bounce rate indicates how often someone arrives at a site and leaves directly from the landing page). You can download a screen shot of our Analytics dashboard here.

For the website of an arts organization of our size these numbers are astonishingly high. (Our benchmarking is fabulous, too—download this screen shot to see how our site stacks up against other similarly-sized arts sites.) We can give our sponsors greater and more consistent exposure, day after day, by placing advertisements on our website than by printing them in a program guide: Your ads on our website will be viewed by all our web visitors, year round. By spotlighting Major, Presenting, Show & Season Sponsors on the web and in performance programs, handed out to each audience member, and by giving you space to offer special promotions, we can help you better to actually bring new customers in through your door.

As for our poster/postcards, they are displayed on bulletin boards in 190 locations from north of North Conway to Wolfeboro and west to Meredith, distributed at our shows so that audience members can send them to interested friends, and distributed to a number of local businesses, coffee shops, etc. for the same purpose.

Your support is absolutely essential to our work in this community, both to our ability to bring diverse and exciting performers to this rural area and to provide vibrant arts programming for children (you can read about our plans to provide substantial arts enrichment to nearly every kid in Tamworth here). We also want to partner with you, providing you with exposure to the community as a supporter of arts for all ages, and helping you reach new corners of the local market.
