Sponsorship Opportunites
Visit Knowle strive to boost visitor footfall, increase spend within our local businesses and work to make Knowle a more attractive place to be.
Visit Knowle is a membership organisation, with over 70 businesses supporting us as paid members. Whilst most of our work is delivered by volunteers, we also secure funds, which include sponsorship and funding from local stakeholders to deliver projects. Projects include a programme of events, improvements to our street scene, business support initiatives and marketing.
In the last twelve months, we have built strong marketing campaigns with good engagement with the local community. We have generated over 6,000 visits to our website, and have circa 7,000 followers across our social media channels, reaching several thousand more through our posts.
Looking forward, we have a number of sponsorship opportunities that you could get involved with.
Visit Knowle members who chose to sponsor an event attract a discounted rate equivalent to the value of annual membership. For non-members who offer £500 or more sponsorship, complementary Visit Knowle membership for one year is available.
Where we can, we aim to match your sponsorship opportunities with what you are looking to achieve. If you would like to discuss any of the future sponsorship opportunities listed below, or if you'd like to discuss a tailored package, then please do get in touch.
