We love bloggers and we love being able to support them as they participate in blogging conferences. That means you! So we’ve dreamed up EIGHT sponsorship opportunities for the upcoming Relevant Conference in October 27-29, 2011.

The Relevant Conference may be sold out, but we’ve already got some tickets reserved for those of you that we sponsor!

Take a look and see if you think any would be a good fit. Even if you have already registered. Because we’ll work with The Relevant Conference organizers to cover ticket costs up to the early bird price. Then send us a proposal no longer than 3 pages and no later than Monday April 11, 2011.

{ Sponsorships }

1. A Hope & Encouragement sponsorship (for someone who loves the ministry of cards and wants to partner with DaySpring in dreaming up creative ways to spread that ministry across the Internet).
2. An (in)courage photographer sponsorship (We’d like a dedicated photographer at Relevant to keep adding to the wonderful portfolio of images for (in)courage, DaySpring and Blessings Unlimited). Please be sure to link to a flickr portfolio as part of your application.
3. A Home blogger sponsorship (for someone who loves to share her home as a place to experience and express Christ’s joy, hope, and encouragement every day, everywhere).
4. A Frugal blogger sponsorship (sharing creative ways for how DaySpring can help you save)
5. A Micah 6:8 Sponsorship (for bloggers that are telling the stories and sharing the avenues for social justice, mercy and ways we can change even small parts of the world, starting with ourselves)
6. A Writer’s Craft sponsorship (for bloggers who love to weave words and use their writing and story telling to inspire us, connect with our products and impact the audience with their stories).
7. A Newbie sponsorship (for someone who’s been blogging less than a year because we love being able to offer a helping hand to someone who’s just started out on this blogging journey and who needs someone to believe in them).
8. A Veteran sponsorship (for someone who’s been blogging longer than four years and can bring their  social media insights and experience to the DaySpring perspective)

{ What a DaySpring Sponsorship Covers }

• A post on (in)courage announcing who you are and a link to your blog
• Free product (for thematic sponsorship promotion) and/or covering proposed promotion expenses
• Promoting your blog and helping drive traffic your way to benefit you as an affiliate.

{ Proposal }

{ Where to Send It }

Sponsorship inquiries should have “Sponsorship Inquiry” in the subject along with which sponsorship you’re interested in (for example “Sponsorship Inquiry: Home Blogger”) and be emailed to: incourage@dayspring.com

{ What to Expect }

We can’t wait to read your proposals!

However, even if we can’t sponsor you, we sure can offer you the opportunity to host a giveaway of some fun DaySpring product on your site or partner with us in other ways. If you are interested in partnering with DaySpring & (in)courage, please let us know here!

Most importantly, you should know that sponsorship or not, we think you are the absolute bee’s knees!
