How to Get Endorsements or Sponsors for your band, tour, record, etc.

While conducting music business industry panels across the country, I’m often asked one question more than anything else: “How do I get an endorsement?” Other variations include “How do I get a sponsor?” or “How do I get free stuff?”

My philosophy is that if this is your point of view, you’re probably already doomed. Sponsors (whether music instrument companies, beer, or clothes, etc.) don’t care about what they can do for you. They care about what you can do for them – or rather, what you can do together. So to begin with, you have to switch the mentality from “What can I gain from this?” to “What can we gain from this relationship?” Below are a few things that I recommend in your approach:

Ask, straight up: There’s a saying that “the answer is always no until you ask.” In the music industry, there are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who wait for things to happen, and those who wonder “what the heck just happened?” Don’t wait for an opportunity. Create it by initiating contact, networking, or asking the right questions that will get you a lead, information on how to get a sponsor, etc. Don’t be afraid in emailing, calling, or scheduling an appointment to do an in-person presentation on why they should sponsor you. That being said…

The Approach: Find a way to be unique, succinct, and intriguing with your initial contact. My rep at the largest music instrument company in the world says that he gets 300-500 emails a week asking for endorsed artist information. So why did he pick my band, The Slants, out of all of those? Because we focused on the company, not ourselves.  We offered a new target audience that they weren’t reaching, we had a unique angle to our music and branding, and they would benefit from working with us. Find a way to explain why you are the “first, the only, the original” of what you do. If you need help, try 15secondpitch.com to help your approach.

Offer an Idea (or 3): Offer an idea right away that the said company could benefit from or that you two could do together to bring more business for everyone. If you are adding value to them from the start, they will be more inclined to listen to you. Make everything more about “we” than just “me.”

Try Untapped Industries: Getting sponsors/endorsements is like rolling a snowball:  once you get started, it becomes easier and more people will start to pay attention. Often times, if the sponsor you’re working with is happy, they’ll refer other companies to you. To get your start, try companies with less competition. For example, try local businesses that you already frequent and see if they’d be willing to do some cross-promotional marketing. Also, smaller indie music instrument companies are often untapped compared to the big brands you see at Guitar Center.

Use Existing Resources: Have everyone in your band or circle of friends create a contact list of everyone they know: where they work, what position, etc. Use those contacts as a start; their company might not be able to help but they might know someone who can. All things being equal in life, people would rather do business with their friends.

Make it a Sales Call: Treat every contact like you would a sales call, because essentially that is what you are doing. Same exact method because you’re selling your music, your tour, your band. If you want them to “buy” through giving your product or cash, then you have to give them a reason to. Create a list of the top 3-5 reasons why they would benefit from giving you what you’re asking for. Are you providing a good return on investment for them?

Don’t Expect Free Stuff: Most endorsed artists through Fender, Gibson, Pearl, etc. don’t get free stuff (unless you’re talking world class level audiences), they get discounted stuff. Even at that, it isn’t about just getting product. It’s about creating a lasting relationship where you can build an audience together with that company.

"Don't Expect Stuff for Free" is so important in this scenario. You have to figure unless your name is at a level that they are approaching you, you aren't famous enough for them to get more from you than you are from them. But a lot of places do offer things to you at the cost they do to Guitar Center. If there's something you have been thinking about buying for six months, but probably won't be buying for six months then you should always contact the manufacturer about possible sponsorship. Once you get sponsorship another possibility is they might be interested in helping with advertising the next time you're on tour. Or on occasion if you tour a lot & talk to a rep a lot you might get to road test an item (though I've known some folks who've had road tests go bad, somethings are too delicate for that life).

Also posted up part 2 on this article, on what they're looking for:

Question about endorsements, we're not looking for free stuff (stickers maybe?), is it a good thing to have an endorsement as a non-headliner act?

Hello, my name is Gloria Harbison. I am a Christian song-writer. I sent a CD to Bill and Gloria Gaither about a month ago. The Gaithers have written the best Christians on of this century The great television Gaither Homecoming professional singers are legiendary. Les Butler, the Gaithers
right hand man who edits the Homecoming Magazine, said that he wants to work with me on my songs for publication. I am a lyricst and I also hear the music for each song also.. I have written over 35 songs and they are all winners. I sent 6 songs to Les Butler, he listened to them and emailed me back and said...."Glo! ...Send them all!"
I am looking for a sponsor..just a small amount of money to get these songs performed by their professional voices and Gaither Band accompaniment. I need three thousands dollars so that Les can get started on the second phase. I can provide proof in what I am saying. If you would like to call and discuss details...my number is 1-210-858-6712.

I'm a stand-up comic looking for a sponser...my main objective is for them to buy advertising in newspapers for my act and in return their names will be posted on my business cards, posters, stationary, and if available I would wear their logo brand clothing and allow them to sell merchandise at my shows...does this sound like a good plan...?

Hello... I really liked reading your article, and I think I brought something away from it. I know it was started quite a while ago, but I hope it's still being monitored (on some level). Anyway, I have a question regarding the contact of potential sponsors... For starters, I have an opportunity to be signed with an indie label in Nashville, TN. The unfortunate part is, indie labels like artists to come "equipped" with sponsorship to help with touring, merchandise, promotion, etc. I have contacted several potential sponsors with the ideas you outlined above, but I usually don't hear back from them, or they tell me they like my offer and will get back to me at a later time. With that said, how many times should I contact them until I get an answer? I want to let them know I mean business, but I also don't want to be a thorn in the side.

Here is my website: http://www.jeffleonardmusic.com You can find links to my other sites which include a lot of my original songs that I've written, and some of the covers that we play.

Thank you for your time.

I have 30 years of management skills and have been asked to manage a new rock band. Im reading and learning as much about this business as possible. This band has extensive experience and we want to kick off in all the right places using all the right social medias as well as promoting this bands songs. Past sponsorships have been available under a different name. This is a brand new band. Im waiting on a demo CD of music so that I can have a better feel for how these guys play together.
Thank you for any tips or adivice you may offer,

Hey so, first off Great Article, it's succinct and really touches on some valid points. Reading the comments i can't really tell if the audience really got the point of what you wrote, which is relationships build sponsorships. If you're a musician and you're looking for help with marketing and exposure, you can try free sites like http://www.immitter.com for free streaming directly to your target audience. If money is what you need then writing blindly on this post most likely wont help you out, you might want to save that for Facebook.

I am a gospel artist i have a debut album and i have been struggling for very long time to bring this album out.and this put allot of burden in my heart. i began thinking, how hard it is for the gospel to spread.my experience put me in a time of prayer, and in my prayers God laid a burden in my heart how the gospel need to go out to the ends of the earth.God showed me that i should create a team of gospel musicians, that we shall move across the streets, towns, cities, and nation to minister in music,christian dramas etc. and this has brought me to a place where i had to put it down in writing.I had stated it last December with my small mobile music and the testimony is wonderful.I have decided to further my studies in order to carry this vision OUT professionally. But to be honest, i come from a poor background and my father and mother are of lat and now i have no body to assist me financially.
Am pleading on anyone who comes across this post to please grand me financial support or contact me for details of this vision, lets spread the gospel to the world Heb:10:25 Thanks Silvanus Away.

As a former TV sponsorship director, I can say that Simon's advice is right on, especially the first tip. If you look at sponsorship as free stuff, you are approaching it from the wrong angle and will be doomed to fail. Instead think "What can I do to serve you and add more value to your business or brand?"

Hi,
My name is Jane. My mom said, i started to sing when I was 2 years old. I guess she didn't expect I would be so fond of music my whole since then. I started to play the guitar when i was in 8 and then the bass guitar when I was 12. I am so fond of learning and always want to learn how to play and master my instrument. I learn by myself and witht he help of my brothers. But I always wanted to go to formal school and learn some techniques and know terminologies and music coz I wanted to teach music. Currently I am based in Cambodia and teaching Music is my means to support myself here. But I am really limited with my knowledge on how to teach and implement music as a whole. I hope someone out there could help me go to music school, here in Asia, might be in Singapore or in the Philippines...I am really interested to learn music formally in addition to our God given talent...I hope you could help me out... here is my facebook account Jhigs B Zaw...hope I find help from you..thank you so much and God bless us all!

Hey! I am the vocalist for an up and coming metal/hard rock band called Horseman 5! We are based out of southern NJ. Please don't read the description of "metal" and think we're a typical modern metal band. Our sound ranges between 80's heavy metal like Judas Priest and Skid Row, to 90's rock like KoRn and Alice in Chains, to some modern influence from bands like Arch Enemy and Five Finger Death Punch! Our whole theme is being "the party during the apocalypse". As most of you I'm sure know, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are conquest, war, famine and death. The reasoning behind our name is "what would the 5th horseman be? What is it that comes after death?" The answer is up to you and, much like our sound, it's whatever you hear in it! Please check us out if you have a minute, thanks!

The thing I think many people utterly fail to realize is sponsorship is not about getting stuff...it about both parties involved expanding the number of people who see them. If company A is going to sponsor anyone, they are essentially looking for someone who is going to expand their customer base. Is that company going to gain a customer because the person or group they sponsor is advertising their product or service....if the answer is no then there is no point in entering into the agreement.
By the same token you should not enter into an arrangement with a sponsor that isn't going to advertise you either, far more important than "stuff" is the opportunity to be seen by that companies customers, who may be interested in what you are doing. Give me a larger forum to expose to my music any day instead of giving me stuff, not that I don't like stuff, but endorsements are all about mutual advertising.
Furthermore, I think you miss the boat if you choose to accept an endorsement from a company that would wouldn't use if it weren't for the endorsement, accept and pursue a company that you would use anyway and you'll both be happier in the experience. After all if you think that the "free" stuff you got isn't up to your standards than not only are you unhappy, but the company isn't getting bang for their buck and you may damage your own reputation as well as someone who doesn't believe in the products they endorse. Which would make other sponsors less likely to have interest in you too.

Hi, Ventino & I are both artists from Rwanda & Kenya respectively. The sought of music that we do can be called 'the music for the new generation'. This is because the topics that we choose to talk about through our music can relate with anyone. The topics are well selected & professionaly written upon to give our music a catchy feeling & definately relay the message to the desired audience. One of the many songs that we have written & produced & a song that has enjoyed global attention is 'The Cry of a Refugee'' by Ventino & Wallace(check us out on Youtube). This song was written in French, Spanish, English & Swahili (native language) thus captured the attention of the world. This song went a head & won the top most award on Plural+Youth Video Festival 2013 & thus used by many universities across the world to give word of the refugee crisis in the world. This goes along way to prove that any sponser willing to work with us will not only enjoy global attention bt also get high returns for his/her work. We are a hard working duo that only wishes to educate the masses via music. If interested feel free to contact me via:

i believe that sharing one's point of view most especially for
Gospel music is a blessing because it's a gift from God to have such a brilliant gift that others are wishing for.
i have read the above information and i 'm deeply impressed.
i am a gospel artist and seeking for a sponsorship due to financial problems.
I am really in need of this sponsorship.

If any one can be a blessing unto us the both parties will be a great benefit.

Thank you for posting this!! I really needed to see something like this. I am looking into starting a school tour type of thing. I see so many anti bullying tours but I feel like they aren't reaching everyone they can, so I want to start a tour that reaches even farther and promotes thinking ahead into your future and touch on self preservation. Google has been my friend in finding information, coming up with ideas and things that will be nessesary to have, and just what all a tour like this would consists of. One of the main things that was brought to my attention was a need for sponsors for something like this, so I began to look into how to get sponsors. I just want to thank you for your post because it has greatly help me. If you have any other advice, feel free to contact me. Thank you again!

Hi am Piatah from Nairobi,Kenya and my fiance has a great passion and desire to nature talents of young upcoming artsist especially the ophaned and those from poor background.To me i see it as a call because he began talking about when he did not have any clue how it would come to be a realit..We are both Christians and we just began comiting this dream he had to God.One day God and also he started sharing his dream with people wherever he went including his relatives.One day God touched his uncle who went bought him audio recording instrument and opened him an audio studio at umoja estate in Nairobi which he named Victorious Sound Studio cause indeed this was Victorious deed by God.That was in 2012.Since then he has seen his dream come true through assisting many talented and windowed gospel artist record albums and also those from poor background realise their dreams and reach out the world with the gospel of Christ through Music.
However due to the nature of this job challenges have been many.First many times he has had to struggle with the Landlord to an extent of being asked to vacate because of house rent.Secondly other challenges like paying the producer have been an headache not to mention finances required to make the studio known to many and getting the artists work marketed through media.For a long time we have had to use facebook to populise it on the endevouer of realising this big dream and a call.
I thus call for advice and help in realising this big dream of my fiance and I of Channging and affecting lifes through helping the less fortunate but with talents reached to the world through gospel music.For more details and evidence please contant me trough this email. piatahmueni20@gmail.com or phone no. +254 725 837528.Thank you.And any of this artist we assist is welcomed atThe victorios sound Studio at Umoja Estate in Nairobi Kenya.All is possible through Christ who stregthens us.Thank you.
