Sponsorship Examples, Local, Entry Level

Here are some TalentFunding.com sponsorship examples at the entry-level local level. These examples assume: 1) The band is still working their day jobs, 2) The band is responsible for getting the below items to the public, 3) The band is not getting a salary from the sponsor, and 4) The size of the local town is small (if the town is large, the below items will have to be kept to a smaller portion of the town). Note: These are not actual prices for any particular band or sponsor; they are just examples from TalentFunding.com to give you ideas. The band or sponsor's actual amounts will be based on the packages that they themselves put together. Note 2: All prices are U.S. dollars.
