Many not-for-profit (NFP) organisations tend to offer a corporate partner the world, without truly understanding the value of their offerings. To the right sponsor, your organisation is an invaluable marketing partner that provides a direct route to their target market. That’s why it is essential that you are correctly evaluating your most important asset – your organisation.
There are some situations, however, when accepting a smaller investment initially might prove to be more advantageous in the long run. New, small or little-known NFPs may need to take a smaller investment initially, especially if it is from a well-known national or global company. This type of partnership may not generate great monetary returns to begin with, but it can be used to leverage brand equity, which is invaluable.
The Australian College of Midwives (ACM) – a not-so-well-known, but truly worthwhile, organisation has partnered with global vitamin company Swisse. Running for several years now, both Swisse and ACM have found this partnership to be mutually beneficial – ACM has allowed Swisse to communicate its message to their membership base and use the ACM logo on Swisse’s pregnancy supplement.
By allowing Swisse to use their logo, ACM has been given exposure to a much larger audience, which they wouldn’t have been able to reach alone. Swisse’s powerful brand, marketing and distribution channels have significantly boosted ACM’s brand equity – conversely, ACM has added invaluable credibility to Swisse’s pregnancy supplement. 446618.png
