Answer 1

PUBLICITY!!!!

Answer 2

You're proof that it will reach an x amount of audience who will see thier message and how you are going to publicise their name. Are you going to put thier name on your website and all promotional material etc.

So are you going to hold an event how many people are going to attend? Do you send out a newsletter to how many people? They need figures and who are the people you have contact with are these people thier relevant market? Research this first and then pick a company to go for.

Answer 3

Public relations and marketing are important to any business. If this is a charitable event for example any
contributors name should be prominently featured
on the program and in any other appropriate way.
