marketingThe goal of this project is to assist the Cosmopolitan Music Society of Edmonton in creating a sponsorship database and making calls to meet potential sponsors. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:
- Researching potential sponsors and creating a list of potential sponsors.
- Developing a database of potential sponsors and their contact information.
- Making calls to potential sponsors to introduce Cosmopolitan Music Society and discuss potential sponsorship opportunities.
- Maintaining and updating the sponsorship database.
By the end of the project, learners should demonstrate:
- Understanding of the Cosmopolitan Music Society’s mission and goals.
- A comprehensive list of potential sponsors and their contact information.
- Negotiated sponsorship meets with potential sponsors.
- A maintained and updated sponsorship database.
Deliverables: At the end of the project the student will hand in a list of potential sponsors. The student will write a biography of each organization/ key person so that our marketing team can then approach the organization/key person with great knowledge and thus a greater chance of making a deal. As long as the student tries to make contact and set up appointments our organization will be pleased. We do not have a hard number of sponsors that we wish to approach at this time. Once the project is underway we will have a better idea of where we are going with the project.
The student will be supported by the marketing team and manager of the organization. The level of mentorship will be closely monitored to ensure the student feels comfortable in the position. The mentors will work with the student to teach them how to search for potential sponsors and how to interact with potential sponsors to book appointments. The student will also be taught how to create spreadsheets and contact information. The student will have full access to stationary, data, photocopier, computer, and phones. The students deliverables will be looked over at the beginning and middle of hte project so that the student can make the most of their experience.
