Step 1
Why sponsor the Memphis Airshow
Sponsorship of this one of a kind event will jet-propel your
company to broad community awareness, unique marketing
opportunities and prominence in a $100K+ advertising campaign.
The Memphis Airshow draws LARGE crowds of demographically
attractive spectators. Memphis Airshow has attracted over 80,000
over a 2 day period.
●Nearly two-thirds (62.6%) report a household income of $50,000
and more and 40 percent report income of $75,000 or more.
●Over 80 percent (80.1%) of air show spectators have at least some
college education. More than 40 percent have at least one college
degree.
●Almost two-thirds (64.3%) own their own homes.
People are bombarded with advertisements from the moment they
wake to the moment they go to sleep. Air shows provide a new and
unique opportunity for marketers to escape the clutter and project
their messages in a landscape that is not yet crowded with mass
advertising. For a period of time measured in hours and minutes
rather than seconds, customers and potential customers are
exposed to comparatively few messages. Air shows are world-class
entertainment in a festival environment, organized by the
community and for the community, and they provide companies
with:
●Title sponsorship opportunities.
●Unmatched density of exposure.
●Intense fan loyalty.
●Ideal consumer demographics.
●Unparalleled sampling, couponing and product give-away
opportunities.
●Exclusive brand sponsorship tied to on-site sales.
●Cross promotions between brands and area retailers.
●Partnerships between non-competing products and services.
●One-of-a kind VIP hospitality.
●Identification with popular charitable causes.
Step 1
Why sponsor the Memphis Airshow
The Memphis Airshow attracts an affluent spectator base unlike

grounds watching, talking, listening and buying.
