APPLY FOR A MEGA-EVENT
We would love to have your business represented at our event!
You'll be able to invite your database to this event and set up a booth in our Business Walkway to generate leads to grow your business!
Why is your event valuable for my business to be a part of?
At MEGASPHERE, we firmly believe that the best way to generate leads for your business is to focus on your past customers, not chasing new customers. By giving back to your customers, you stay top of mind with them. When asked for a referral, they then refer you because yours the first name that comes to mind.
But Mega-Events are the vehicle, not the destination. Our Mega-Events are designed to generate a significant number of hot leads for your business. Lead generation starts before the event begins and continues after the event ends.
The event becomes YOUR party that you are throwing for your customers, because we provide you with invitation graphics that are branded for your business! You will send them out (unless you are part of the CCM) to invite your database.
Most small businesses can't afford to do events like these on their own. But when you join with a group of other businesses, each of you only pay a small part of a BIG party AND grow your business at the same time!
Mega-Events are only one of the ways we help you to stay top-of-mind with your past customers. If you'd like to learn of the other ways MEGASPHERE can help your business, come visit us at our Lehi Community!
First, we ask each business to provide a "giveaway"--a FREE (or heavily discounted) something--that your business will give to each guest who requests it. We ask for that on the application below, so be sure that you know what that is before applying. We generally have 1000 households at our events and we anticipate 2-3% of those taking us up on our offers; please keep that in mind when choosing your giveaway.
Second, each participant is required to come to a mandatory Event Prep meeting on Tuesday, September 24th at 8am. It will be a 90 minute meeting to go over event details and create a plan for turning the event into a lead generation vehicle for you.
Third, on the day of the event, you'll need to bring
• A branded booth* with a branded table cloth
• A fold-out table and chairs
• A container to gather raffle tickets and pens (we recommend ones branded for your business!) to write on the back of the tickets
• Flyers or other advertisement materials for your business
• Branded swag (optional)
• At least one raffle prize for a guest to win
• A volunteer (they will help out at the event, not be in the booth with you)
* MEGASPHERE highly encourages the use of our standard booth. This booth is 10x10 with a pop-canopy with a back wall, a branded tablecloth for a 6 ft table (table not included), 12 ft tall flags, and a carrying case for it all. A cohesive, village-like feel is created when all the booths are the same size and shape and guests feel they’ve entered a professional (but still fun!) environment. Each business owns its booth, so it can be used for other events. A high quality booth is a great investment in the future growth of your business. If you don't have a branded booth, we can help you get one! Contact us for details.
MEGASPHERE provides the same package to each business that has been approved to join the event. It includes
• Landing Page for all Business Giveaways (so invitees can see all the giveaways from all businesses, regardless of attending the event)
• Graphics/Flyers (branded for your business!) to invite your clients by email and text (there will be one you can print if you'd like)
• An advertising plan for sharing the graphics/flyers
• A 10x10 space to set up a booth
• Raffle Tickets to give to guests at your booth
• Emails showcasing the offers of each business sent to all event guests, before and after the event
Plus we do all the planning and prep-work for the event: work with the venue, obtain permits as needed, supply food trucks, etc.
Yes! You don't have to be a member of the Sphere to join our events. We have spots available for your business and our Mega-Event package (what MEGASPHERE provides) is given to any business that is approved to join the event. It's an opportunity for your business to team up with other businesses, meet potential clients, and let your clients have a fun event!
However, Sphere members do have the first option for a space at the event. If you'd like to apply as a non-member, you can do so below. We'll keep you on a waitlist and let you know before the advertising plan begins if your application has been accepted.
Can I post the events to social media?
Yes, but only in private groups (such as neighborhood groups) or your business page, not for the general public. These events are solely for those already in your database or in your personal contact sphere. This is true regardless of if you are a member, a non-member, or a waitlisted business.
When our events have 20 businesses participating, we anticipate 3000 - 4000 guests, which would represent around 700 - 1,000 households.
Due to venue cost differences, some events are $2,000 and some events are $4000.
Sphere members receive a discount on these prices and priority for a space at the event.
