• Distribution of press release announcing sponsorship of event distributed to base, and in some cases, civilian newspapers
• Announcements at the event of sponsors’ name and support
• On-site signage, product displays, and demonstrations

• Possible displays in Lodging and Dining facilities
• VIP status at events for major sponsors
• Event recognition: “Sponsored in part by…”

Three ways to get your product in front of military consumers:

• Commercial sponsorships can be arranged through solicited or unsolicited procedures.
• Under the solicited program, Air Education and Training
• Command (AETC) will announce upcoming major events available for sponsorship in various trade publications. Proposals are then solicited from various commercial companies.
