BPB Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities
Why should your company become a BPB sponsor?
BostonPrintBuyers.com is a magnet for professionals working in or with the graphic arts industry, for several key reasons:
-
BPB was established to help bring information about the printing industry to professionals who purchase or influence the purchase of printing. We focus on attracting site visitors who represent "both" sides: buying print and producing it.
-
Our free weekly e-column, Print Tips, is emailed to more than 3500 people worldwide. Our subscribers are both purchasers and producers of printed materials, as well as suppliers of related services, including paper, design, mailing and fulfillment. This niche publication has an established reputation in the industry. It is a magazine-quality column that is reprinted around the world by trade publications and organizations as well as in the higher education field.
-
In every issue of Print Tips, we direct readers back to our site. If you already receive these Tips, you know that they are always pro-printer as well as pro-buyer. No other published content in the trade can say as much. The Tips, written by Margie Dana, have been published weekly since 1999.
Boston Print Buyers offers four levels of sponsorship opportunities to benefit companies that want to increase their business by increasing their visibility to prospects.

The value to this sponsorship level is simply this: four times every month, sponsors' names get pushed out to thousands of Tips subscribers. The Tips have been published weekly since 1999. They are known throughout this industry around the world.
- More business.
As a lead generator, your listing on Bostonprintbuyers.com is a live link to your web site. Your contact information will be used to create your own directory listing on our Sponsor Directory page.
- New business opportunities.
Our Sponsor Directory page is alphabetical and contains detailed information about your services, plus key contact information and a link to your web site.
- Improved name recognition.
Your listing on our site is a cost-effective way to advertise your services on an industry-centric web site. On top of that, your listing on our Print Tips e-column vastly increases your visibility, as these emailed columns are regularly forwarded to multiple readers by our subscribers.

One contact person's name

This makes it especially easy for visitors to click through to your web site once they realize you have something that they need.
- A link in our weekly Print Tip newsletter.
In addition to emailing our Print Tips each week, we post the Tips on our web site. As a BPB Sponsor, your name will be included on this web site page.
- Preference as a Print Tips contributor.
Many of our weekly Print Tips are created in collaboration with industry professionals. We interview printing pros, designers, paper reps, educators, and others in the graphic arts for our weekly columns. As a BPB Sponsor, you will get preference as a Tips' industry resource. However, there is no guarantee you will be used in a Tip. We retain editorial independence and control over the Print Tips columns.

Level 2: BPB Dinner Sponsorship
Boston Print Buyers offers networking and educational opportunities for professionals who purchase or influence the purchase of commercial printing. One way we accomplish this is by hosting dinner meetings. Meetings for 2010 are still being planned.
Dinner meetings have different formats. Sometimes, they're Roundtable Discussions. Another format for these meetings involves an educational presentation during dinner. If you want to deliver a 30-minute educational session at one of these meetings, please contact Barbara Graham at 978-490-0100. This year, we are looking for sponsors to host our BPB meetings at their facilities. We handle all event registration and promotions.
