Here is the small business program we are working on here in Myrtle Beach,S.C. We do a lot of festivals here. We set up a booth with the Fair Tax Banner hung in the back of the booth. What we are going to do is have another banner made with the caption across the top of it saying "Support your local Fair Tax Supporters". The banner will be divided into 100 spaces where a small business will be able to have their company logo put on the banner. We will also print coupons for each business to be included in our information package with the Fair Tax logo on each coupon. The owner of the business will determine what type of promo or discount will be printed on the coupon. We will also have small signs to put on the front door of the business that reads like this:
PUSH Pull
4 the or 4 the
Fair Tax Fair Tax

That sign will be placed where the push sign is normally placed at the entrance to the business. We will also have plastic bags printed for the info packets we give out at the booths for easy carrying. On the front of the bags will be Fair Tax logo and on the back will be for the logos of the business that join this program. The back will be like the banners of Fair Tax business supporters.
We plan to sell these sponsorships for $400.00 a year. We plan to use the money raised to buy air time on our local cable channels to run Fair Tax ads. If you sell 100 sponsorships like this then you've raised $40,000. That's a lot of air time for Fair Tax ads. You could even buy billboard space for a Fair Tax billboard in your town. Even after costs of printing the items you still have a lot of ad money.
So in exchange for the advertizing of the business cosponsors we get money raised for Fair Tax ads or for funding Fair Tax events.
Take it and run with it.
