This is your opportunity to market your company and products at the largest non-toxic festival in northwestern California. Now in its fourth year, the Organic Planet Festival is held every August on the shores of Humboldt Bay, attracts exhibitors from across the region, is attended by thousands of concerned citizens interested in natural products--and features the world's largest organic salad.
Using the universal appeal of great music (David Lindley, Joe Craven et al.), the festival showcases nationally known speakers (such as Lois Gibbs of Love Canal fame and Berkeley's nutrition guru Chef Ann Cooper), offers great organic food, beer and wine, and dozens of workshops on alternatives to toxics.
It’s no surprise that the Festival is an ever-growing success (more than 2,000 patrons attended in 2007). The local population demands products and services that fit a natural lifestyle. The area supports at least four major natural food stores, and even the smallest grocery maintains a large inventory of organic products. In addition, Humboldt County residents spend statistically significant dollars per capita shopping on-line and through catalogs. That's why such national brands as Cliff Bar, Knudsen, Santa Cruz Organics, Organic Valley, American Apparel, and many others have happily taken part in the festivities year after year.
Californians for Alternatives to Toxics (CATs) will spotlight our sponsors through a vigorous promotional campaign including print media, radio and television, posters and flyers, and a direct-mail distribution of festival information to our own mailing list of 8,000 households. We are enhancing our website (www.organicplanetfestival.org) in 2008 for more focused marketing of local and national sponsors, and adding a catalog-style event program to our promotional materials.
2008 Sponsor Levels
Underwriter ($5,000 and above) |
Partner ($3,000) |
Promoter ($1,500) |
Booster ($500) |
Promotional space and exposure is commensurate with your level of sponsorship, though at every level you will receive significant publicity prior, during and after the event. It is our goal to help festival-goers find you and your products. We will consider in-kind donations as a significant portion of any sponsorship level. CATs is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.
This is a fabulous marketing opportunity, and we'd love for you to join the core of satisfied exhibitors. Details and applications are on our website organicplanetfestival.org, or to have any questions answered, please contact Georgianna Wood at 707.445.5100. We’re looking forward to having you there!
