Sponsorship ideas

We have been thinking of possible ideas of the kind of programme that we could sponsor. We have already come up with an idea of sponsoring something like 'Come Dine With Me'.

While researching sponsorship adverts, we came across one for 'Come Dine With Me' and their concept was similar to what we intend to do: they acted as if they were in the show and inviting guests over for dinner. They did not use humour in their advert because it was for a wine, they just showed a few guests coming over and giving the wine as a present and the host being extremely pleased. We think that including humour in our advert would attract the audience more and leave a more memorable impression in their minds.

We thought the advert could be of a woman/man preparing a meal for their guests. The person could be making the meal and because of lack of sight, accidentally use something like dog food in the cooking instead of the proper ingredients. We would then see the reaction of the guests eating the food and perhaps a shot of the empty dog food tin in the kitchen for example. Although this would have ruined the meal, we will see them all laughing about it because we do not want to end the advert on a bad impression and everyone being upset because this will not be appealing to the audience. This advert will relate well to the programme it is sponsoring because that is exactly what the programme is about, it also contains humour which we intend to use in our other advert we are making.

Looking at the results to our questionnaire, we can see that our target audience, The Mainstreamer, like to keep up to date with the latest fashion but still consider the price and comfort of the glasses they are buying. From this information, we know that having an advert which includes humour rather than focusing on what brand the glasses are and how great they look will appeal more to our target audience. In an advert focusing on designer glasses, they tend not to mention the price but concentrate more on telling the audience how great they look, but looking at our questionnaire we know that our audience want something that is good quality and good price, therefore we will most likely not sponsor a programme like 'Project Runway' or 'Next Top Model' because these programmes are all about how you look and not about comfort or prices etc. It is important to sponsor a programme that our target audience will also be likely to watch and frequent and entertaining programmes which include slight comedy such as 'Come Dine With Me' and 'Dinner Date' are examples of the type of programme which we would like our advert to sponsor.
