Your blog might suck if you are your blog’s most frequent visitor.</description>

		<description>Hi there M!

I&#039;ve been and had a quick peek at tyour site and it looks good!  I especially like the line you have in your &quot;about us&quot; section that says:
 
&quot;Sellers and buyers of reliable brands in the four corners of the earth are as near as your five fingers.&quot; 

Very good!  All the best with the company.  Let us know how you get on.  When is the offical launch date and what have you got planned for the launch?  Anything special? 
Kindest

		<description>Hi Danielle,  cheers for the comments...in case you wanted to have a look at what I&#039;m on about with our ad, if you follow this link, you&#039;ll see the ad we are running this month (Sept) in a regional glossy mag.  We&#039;ve got the right hand side page for this, and the &quot;Stress Free&quot; sponsorship is right there at the bottom. :-)

Hi Mark,  Good advice - keeping it tight is very good advice when using paid for sponsorship as a form of advertising...also if you do any form of sponsorship - we&#039;ve found that you need to squeeze it for every penny worth that you can get...ask for extras - if you sponsor a local rugby team, ask for tickets to games, meals in hospitality boxes, perimeter boards, ask to be allowed to send a specific email to their season ticket holders on a regual basis (even if they send it for you) ask to be able to hand out flyers at the math, get their logo and get permission to use it on your headed paper, Ask for one or two of the players to attend your external events...then and only then when you get all these extras is you sponsorship deal going to start to look anything like good value for advertising spend!  ;-)</description>

		<description>Great advice. While we often recommend our clients narrow their focus of audience and products and markets, the same is true for sponsorships. Don&#039;t try to be all things to all people, throwing your money out to anyone who comes to the door. Find one amazing opportunity - such as a non-profit organization - that perfectly aligns with your brand and your market, and go for it. It&#039;s better to be important in one arena than to be just another sponsor in a number of arenas.
