Why sponsor?
The benefits to you
As your partner, Blue Apple is invested in your sponsorship and takes this really seriously. You make a promise to help bring quality theatre to our community, and in return we promise to deliver the best sponsorship benefits to you.
Connect with your customers
Customers are getting more and more discerning about which companies they do business with. What better way to communicate your values than by partnering with a non-profit organisation that matches theirs?
Unique marketing channels
Because we have the longstanding trust of our community, we have access to valuable marketing channels. In addition, our own database includes 17 years of patrons, donors, and volunteers who have given their time, treasure, and talent to Blue Apple, and regularly give their business to our sponsors and supporters.
Tell your story and win new customers
Tell a whole new audience how much your company cares about investing in the arts and ensuring our community can benefit from them. When they show up to support Blue Apple, your brand will be front and centre expressing your shared values.
Give your staff something to smile about
Responsible companies know how important it is to get staff involved in giving back to the community. When you become a corporate sponsor of one of our productions or programmes, you can choose to treat your staff to show tickets and even an invitation to our pre-show drinks reception on opening night!
Added value
After nearly two decades of success, Blue Apple has grown a large network of supporters in Hampshire. As a sponsor, you'll have access to our special brand of marketing. The value we bring to the table includes:
Social media and website exposure
In FY25/26, Blue Apple Theatre reached over 400,000 people online in FY25/26, generating more than 402,000 impressions across social media and Google search, alongside 14,700 website users and 83,000 website engagements.
Proven track record of honesty and accountability
You want to know your sponsorship is working to raise even more funds for Blue Apple. We will provide detailed statements to all sponsors annually.
Increased sales
The arts mean business. Attendance at arts events generates vital income for local businesses. For every £1 spent on a theatre ticket, an additional £1.40 is spent in the local economy - supporting restaurants, transport and high streets. Across the UK, this equates to around £1.9 billion each year in additional local spending.
