What does a virtual Book Fair look like?
It will look a lot like a normal Book Fair. There will be over 30 events with the most exciting and interesting Jewish books and authors from around the world. We have books for sale at our online store. We will be finding ways to gather. The only difference is that we’ll all be in our own homes, possibly in our pajamas.
Why should I sponsor a virtual festival? What’s in it for my organization?
We need your support more than ever to continue fulfilling our mission of bringing the best of the world of Jewish books and authors to metro Detroit. Sponsoring the Book Fair provides you significant opportunities for visibility in the community and also programming that you can offer to your constituents. By leveraging the resources of the JCC, you can offer programming to constituents that your organization may not be able to create on its own along with the tools to market and promote that programming. Supporting the Detroit Jewish Book Fair is a way to pool your resources with other organizations and help create something that enriches our community, offers easy-access entertainment and engagement to our vulnerable populations, and brings people together safely.
What does a sponsorship look like in a virtual festival? How will my organization be recognized?
With a virtual festival, all of our interaction with the public happens through our website and social media. That means excellent visibility for the recognition we offer to all of our sponsors and supporters. Based on our experience with virtual events thus far, we expect our web traffic to double from its norm. We also expect to increase both overall attendance and geographic reach due to the convenience of the at-home model and the ease with which people can watch events after the fact. Here are some of the ways we plan to use the increase in visibility to your advantage:
- Our website – Sponsors at all levels will be listed in multiple locations around our website. Additional recognition, such as an invitation be create videos for the website, varies by level.
- Social media – All of our social media posts about a specific event will include the names of all sponsors at all levels associated with that event. Additional recognition varies by level.
- YouTube – All of our events will be broadcast live on YouTube and the video description will include the same sponsor listing as the event on our website. We will also read aloud the full list of sponsors at each event when it happens live.
