Benefits for Corporate Sponsors Enhance and build relationships Relationship/business-building The Festival provides sponsors with a number of opportunities to interact with prospective and current clients. These include intimate special events as well as the chance to attend concerts or provide tickets to others. Reach of upscale, engaged consumers Sponsors receive repeated exposure in a variety of ways: on the Festival website, in articles, eBlasta and ads online, in print magazines, newspapers, in direct mailings (online and in the mail), in brochures and flyers, in the Festival program book and on signage at concerts and events in a number of locations. This visibility for sponsors impacts a sizeable and appealing audience with 2015 audience attendance increasing 19% from 2014: 1200 people attended the 2015 LBMF, with about a half from Laguna Beach and another half from about 25 other communities in this attractive area of Orange County. These Festival-goers were nearly evenly split between men and women and were active spenders—90% patronized Laguna Beach restaurants, shops and galleries during the Festival. The number one reason people attend the Festival is to hear outstanding musicians in intimate settings. Another reoccurring reason audiences attend, is to support a local community events. Association with a high quality, popular event The musicians and production values of the Festival are of the finest quality, assured by its highly regarded presenting partners, Philharmonic Society of Orange County and Laguna Beach Live! This reputation has been built over a dozen plus years and the Festival’s ongoing appeal was verified in 2015 when 40% of the attendees indicated they were first time attendees with 60% returning year after year. The success of last year’s Festival bodes well for the 2016 Festival. 93% of those attending in 2015 reported that they planned to attend a future LB Music Festival. Recognition for enhancing cultural life in the area Federal and state budget cutbacks have made it difficult for communities and schools to have access to the performing arts—and residents are very grateful to those organizations that step in to fill funding gaps.
