I want to go to the Type-A Mom Conference! Held in Asheville, NC the last weekend of September, Type-A Mom Conference is a unique mom blogging conference featuring some of the most influential, admired and insightful mom bloggers talking about topics like power social networking, branding, blogging, finding your voice, and turning your passion for blogging into a real paycheck.
Type-A Mom Conference has a unique policy on personal sponsorship that I think is brilliant. Attendees are not allowed to hand out products, brochures, “swag”, or any item branded with the name of their sponsor. Instead, the conference has guidelines for what attendees CAN do on behalf of their sponsors, AND has an incentive that benefits the sponsors for helping people get to the conference!
Here’s what I can offer you in exchange for help getting to the Type-A Mom Conference, based on donation level:
- Premium ad space in the left sidebar, under “About the Author”. I’ll be creating a Type-A Mom Conference Sponsors section and will post either your text link ad or a small (125×125 px) button with your logo that links to your site, whichever you prefer.
- Your name and URL mentioned at the bottom of all posts about the conference.
- Blog posts that you write for the company or individual, either here on Table for Five or to publish on your site.
- Your name and URL on my business cards that I will hand out at the conference identifying you as a sponsor.
- Wearing of clothing or carrying tote bags branded to your company.
- My ability to network at the conference and talk in a non-aggressive manner about you as my personal sponsor – and believe me, I talk to EVERYONE at blog conferences!
What is Type-A Mom Conference offering you as my sponsor?
In their words:
We will create a page on the official site with the list of personal sponsors, featuring their logo, a link to their site and the name of the blogger or bloggers they are sponsoring, as well as a link to the blogger’s site (or permalink to the post where the blogger describes the sponsorship).
How much is a Table for Five Type-A Mom Conference Sponsorship?
The conference pass, if I collect enough to get it before the tickets run out, is $199.00 plus a $5.97 fee. The hotel is $129 a night if I book before August and assuming all the reserved rooms don’t sell out. I’ll need three nights (Thurs., Fri. and Sat.) which equals $387.00. According to Delta.com, a round-trip flight to Asheville, if I booked today, is $460.80 for the ticket plus fees. That makes a total of $1,052.77.
All donations will be gratefully accepted! These are the sponsorship levels and what you will get:
LEVEL 1: $25.00 donation – Your text link or button posted on Table for Five from the date of your donation until the end of September and your name and URL mentioned in blog posts about the conference.
LEVEL 2: $50.00 donation – Your text link or button ad posted here until Sept. 30th and your name and URL mentioned in posts about the conference, and a blog post written about your site including your choice of text links and keywords.
LEVEL 3: $100.00 donation – Your text link or button ad posted here until Sept. 30th, your name and URL mentioned in posts about the conference, a blog post written about your site including your choice of text links and keywords, and your URL printed on the back of my conference business cards.
LEVEL 4: $250.00 donation – Your text link or button ad posted here until Sept. 30th, your name and URL mentioned in posts about the conference, a blog post about your site, your URL printed on my business cards, AND your text link or button ad posted on MomReviews (a PR 5 site!) until Sept. 30th.
What Will I Get Out of Going to Type-A Mom Conference?
At blog conferences, I get a chance to meet old blogging friends and make new ones. I attract new readers to Table for Five which means more people seeing your ad in my sidebar and seeing you mentioned on my Facebook and Twitter updates. Even after five years of blogging, there’s always more to learn, and I always come home from blog conferences with fresh ideas for how to improve not only this blog but my other blogs as well. Sponsoring my trip to this conference could potentially mean we develop a long-term partnership that benefits us both!
How Can You Become A Sponsor?
All donations will be gratefully accepted. Please see the above suggested donation levels for suggested donation amounts. Use the PayPal donation button below to make your payment using either your PayPal account or a credit or debit card. Payments will then be transferred to my savings account at Bank of America until I have enough to buy the conference pass, book the hotel room, and/or reserve the flight. I will provide frequent updates on the progress of the donations, and if the dollar amount I receive exceeds $1,052.77, I will make a donation to Feeding America with whatever I receive above that amount.
When you make your donation, please include a message with the name and URL you would like me to use when acknowledging you as a sponsor. If you want me to post a small button with your logo, email me at table4five @ gmail dot com with your image link.
Thank you very much for reading this post and considering a donation to help me attend the Type-A Mom Conference in Asheville this September. I look forward to helping promote YOUR site as my personal sponsor!
