Question…Why Become a Mountain State Art & Craft Fair Sponsor?

Answer…MSACF sponsorship works on a variety of levels!

Since the Mountain State is considered the “Granddaddy” of all artisan fairs in West Virginia, organizations that help sponsor the event are supporting one of our state’s premier annual events. Each year the Mountain State Art & Craft Fair helps keep traditional Appalachian arts, crafts, foods and entertainment alive in West Virginia. This alone is reason enough to support the event. However, here are a few more:

Create and Maintain Top-of-Mind Awareness
MSACF sponsorship represents an opportunity to weave your company’s name into the everyday life of your consumer. By becoming a partner with them…someone aiding them in the enjoyment of their community and raising your visibility considerably, you create more top-of-mind awareness.

Win the Customer Loyalty Battle
MSACF sponsorship can provide your product or service an entry into not only the minds of your target customers but into their hearts as well. The public’s loyalty is a hard-won commodity. Mountain State Art & Craft Fair attendees tend to return to the fair year after year, some for more than forty years! The return each year because they have become loyal to the event … they believe it’s not summer in Appalachia without a visit to the MSACF. When our attendees see that you have helped make sure that an event that they value will continue, some of that loyalty naturally transfers to your organization as well.

Extensive Recognition Package
In consideration for your organization’s MSACF sponsorship you will receive benefits including:
• Signage at the event
• A display ad in the printed event program
• Verbal mention via the event public address system
• Complimentary event admission tickets
• And much, much more …
