Timing your outreach can make or break your collaboration opportunity. Trust me—getting this right can make a world of difference.
So, When Is the Right Time?
📆 Brands Plan Their Budgets in September
Most brands finalize their budgets and sponsorship plans for the upcoming year in the fall.
Example:
If you're planning an event for 2025, you should start sending out your proposals by July or August 2024.
Here’s why:
Get in Early
Brands allocate their budgets and plan their activities for the next year in September.
📌 Reaching out in the summer puts your proposal in front of them right when they're making decisions!
Stand Out from the Crowd
Most people wait until the last minute to pitch their event or project. Not you!
📌 Sending your proposal early gives you a competitive edge and increases your chances of securing the deal.
Less Stress, More Prep
Starting early means you have plenty of time to:
✔ Craft a killer pitch
✔ Gather all your materials & sponsorship packages
✔ Follow up without feeling rushed
