Why sponsor?

The benefits to you

As your partner, Blue Apple is invested in your sponsorship and takes this really seriously. You make a promise to help bring quality theatre to our community, and in return we promise to deliver the best sponsorship benefits to you.

Connect with your customers

Customers are getting more and more discerning about which companies they do business with. What better way to communicate your values than by partnering with a non-profit organisation that matches theirs?

Unique marketing channels

Because we have the longstanding trust of our community, we have access to valuable marketing channels. In addition, our own database includes 17 years of patrons, donors, and volunteers who have given their time, treasure, and talent to Blue Apple, and regularly give their business to our sponsors and supporters.

Tell your story and win new customers

Tell a whole new audience how much your company cares about investing in the arts and ensuring our community can benefit from them. When they show up to support Blue Apple, your brand will be front and centre expressing your shared values.

Give your staff something to smile about

Responsible companies know how important it is to get staff involved in giving back to the community. When you become a corporate sponsor of one of our productions or programmes, you can choose to treat your staff to show tickets and even an invitation to our pre-show drinks reception on opening night!

Added value

After nearly two decades of success, Blue Apple has grown a large network of supporters in Hampshire. As a sponsor, you'll have access to our special brand of marketing. The value we bring to the table includes:

Social media and website exposure

Blue Apple has over 2,350 followers on Facebook, more than 2,000 on Twitter, over 640 on Instagram, and more than 350 on other social media platforms. We're highly skilled at engaging with and leveraging those connections for your benefit. We also had 24,000 website page views last year and anticipate close to 40,000 by the end of 2022.

Proven track record of honesty and accountability

You want to know your sponsorship is working to raise even more funds for Blue Apple. We will provide detailed statements to all sponsors annually.

Increased sales

The arts means business! Attendance at arts events generates income for local businesses. An average arts attendee spends £71* per event including the cost of admission. On the national level, these audiences provided £2.4 billion of valuable revenue for local merchants and their communities.
