Local Media Renascence
Regulation Crowdfunding & Filmmaking Sponsorships-It’s a Win Win
As online streaming has exploded across the internet, film industries have expanded in communities all across the country, spawning new companies and jobs, enabling local talent and increasing local influence. Adding icing to that cake is Hollywood’s collapse under the weight of its own arrogance.
The benefits of local film production of movie shorts, documentaries, music performances and live streaming to the local businesses community is barely scratching the surface. Marketing opportunities that compare to and exceed traditional advertising can be achieved at far less expense.
Companies have entirely new marketing channels that enable them to connect locally and beyond.
Benefits for Raising capital
For growing companies, the potential benefits are far more than many business owners realize. When in need of growth capital, companies are increasingly turning to Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF). Reg CF campaigns are largely dependent on connection with, and investments from their community. Sponsorship of local media and film productions can not only increase sales, but it can also directly increase the success potential of a Reg CF campaign.
Crowdfunding campaign, build your foundation in advance
Why a business that is considering a regulation crowdfunding in the future should consider sponsoring local film projects.
Sponsoring local filmmaking projects is, in many ways, a superior form of business marketing. In today’s world of online streaming, sponsored content creates an enduring internet presence for your business. It says to the community that you are here, you are part of it.
In the future should you look to raise growth capital through a Reg CF campaign the community already knows you, you’re already established.
Since the sponsorship of movies and media is already a part of your strategy you now simply add your new business objective to the sponsorship messaging.
Building a crowdfunding campaign is largely about connecting with community; by sponsoring film projects in your community, you’re making a strong statement of support for the community, and you help to define its image.
These connections are valuable when a company chooses to raise capital through regulation crowdfunding; for one thing, if you have sponsored local filmmakers people in the community and the industry already know of your business, they see your business as contributing part of the community, another benefit is that potential investors see your advertising strategy to be more sophisticated, more enduring and community oriented than simply a basic SEO or paid advertising strategies.
By sponsoring local filmmaking you’re supporting local jobs and creating content that supports your community and opens doors to new clients and to investors. Win - Win - Win.
