FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Air Pirates Radio Theater Producer to Speak at Business Conference

On June 3rd Paul Ellis of PEP productions, producer of The Air Pirates Radio Theater, Music from the Valley and Culture Connection, will be presenting at the Hudson Valley Business Edge, a conference being held at the Holiday Inn in Fishkill, NY.

Business Edge is an all day business to business educational conference providing tactical, practical, usable information to business owners in the Hudson Valley. Choose from 20 workshops, presented by local experts, designed for the business professional.

Ellis will be conducting a seminar entitled “Sponsorship: Charity Begins at Home”. The program will explain why sponsoring events and programs is not charity. The results may be helping or enabling a charitable project, however; a sponsorship is a valuable component to any business' promotional plan. This workshop will demonstrate how your business can leverage sponsorships and increase your exposure while helping to build community relations. Ellis has been a successful producer for over thirty years and has managed and designed sponsorship campaigns for both events and sponsors. For example: The Air Pirates sponsorship program was designed to accommodate the small business owner enabling them to participate in a comprehensive marketing campaign. Sponsors include: Ecclectic Tech, Style Council, Weinert T-Shirts, Croll Organizing, D & H Canvas, Meeting Tree Computer Corp, Winn Cards and Comics, 1st Advisors Mortgage and Empire Signs of the Hudson Valley. “These are businesses that have been able, for a small investment, to participate in a campaign that includes print, direct mail, radio and on site promotions. This is something that is most often only available to large corporations. By designing a cooperative sponsorship program we have been able to leverage our marketing dollars.” said Ellis.

Early bird registration is $76, register with Coupon Code "PEP" for a $10 discount. The price goes up to $99 next month, so early register is encouraged. Registration for this all-day conference, June 3rd at the Holiday Inn in Fishkill, includes continental breakfast, lunch, and a networking cocktail hour in the evening.
