Keep it New

I've spoken with several organizations that seem to be in a rut in terms of new ideas to offer corporate partners. For example, an arts organization hosted a workshop series (that was not very well attended) sponsored by a major financial institution. That sponsor pulled out a few months ago. They said it was because they needed something new and fresh.

Unfortunately the arts organization hasn't come up with a fresh idea so they are now trying to sell the old workshop model to other financial institutions.

Take away: Constantly keep in touch with your corporate sponsors. Be prepared to develop innovative promotional elements to keep the partnership fresh.
