Sponsorship Opportunities
If you'd like to reach small businesses with your marketing message, we're looking for event and workshop sponsors. Robbin Block gives 40-50 presentations per year, and they're growing in popularity. On average, each event has 35-40 business owners and people thinking about starting a business. At every event, we're asked for recommendations for products and services. Although we can't specifically recommend our sponsors, this is a great way for you to get your name in front of the right audience, just when they're asking for help. It also gives you access to a market that is difficult reach any other way.
