CJ Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Following on from this thread here, I want to set up a web site introducing MAC 1 to potential sponsors and to show the plan. The problem is, I have very little experience with this type of thing and so I am looking for advice as to what sort of content / pages should be on there. I have come up with the following so far: 1. Details of the sponsorship deal on offer 2. Image of MAC 1 to show sponsors what it will look like 3. List of potential national shows that will be attended 4. Commendation from Macmillan 5. Links to sponsor 6. Links to past events (currently just Austec charity day). 7. Link to small donation site such as BT Donate - Justgiving (not to be used for sponsor deal but for one off smaller donations) 8. My story? 9. Build page showing progress of MAC1? Can you folks think of anything else that should be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I had my website designed and built by http://www.tndcreative.co.uk and he basically did the whole lot. Asked me to write a few bits and pieces and he did the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 A fellow member has been helping me put together the site and has come up with this do far: http://www.mac1.org.uk It is not finished yet and some of the links are not working but I am very pleased with the way it is taking shape.

Soopra Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Looking very good Just wondered if you'd sell smaller space on the car for less than £500. The thread where the guy wants £3 from everyone to help him build his dream car gave me the idea. Was thinking that maybe for a smaller donation people could have their forum name, or a message, or a memorial for a loved one lost to cancer on MAC1...

Selling smaller space would not be a problem but the cost needed to be charged might be. What I mean is that I would have to take into account the cost of producing each message and the cost of putting it onto the car. In order to make a goodly amount of money to go towards the build, I would probably still have to charge a considerable (considerable for the general public I mean) amount of money. Whilst I like the idea, I think I will initially stick to the corporate sponsor route and see how that progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 How about a white wrap on certain panels, and get Stick-R's sharpie guy to do the smaller messages. Devide his cost between those who want small bits and bobs, keeps it cheap for all and pretty quirky. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idea The whole idea of selling the advertising space is to raise the £10k it is going to cost to make MAC 1 onto something unique and therefore a crowd puller at shows and something magazines will want to write about. Unfortunately, I honestly can't see me realising that kind of money from selling name spaces. However, should the corporate sponsorship succeed in raising the funds, I would be quite happy selling name space with the money going direct to Macmillan.
