Why sponsor an airshow?

There are plenty of reasons.

The format and schedule of air shows make them particularly effective at providing businesses with the visibility and brand awareness that they’re looking for as air show sponsors.

Air show spectators are generally well‐educated in both absolute terms and when compared to the fan base of other mainstream sporting and motor sport events.

The male/female composition of air show audiences compares favorably with that of NASCAR, an organization that has built a reputation on its access to female demographics. In fact, more than 20 percent of the typical air show audience is comprised of women in the 35‐55 age group, making air shows both family events and the unique marketing tool for prospective sponsors interested in reaching out to the most difficult-to-reach demographic groups.

Looking for a wholesome family event? There are few events as family‐oriented as air shows. There is strong distribution of children throughout all age groups from preschool to high school. Nearly 63 % of all adults attending air shows are accompanied by children. For adults between the ages of 30 and 44, that number increases to 75%.

The air show spectator base continues to represent a strong, if somewhat more affluent cross‐section of North America. The average Airshow attendee’s family income is over 100,000 annually.

Want to be a vendor?

Vendors interested in setting up a table to sell things at the Airshow can contact our National Vendor, Plane Things at john@planethings.com.

Exhibitors (no sales) can inquire with info@themrbfoundation.com directly to sign up as an exhibitor.

Exposure

West Virginia’s Greatest Air Show offers sponsors and advertisers a unique cost‐effective opportunity to promote their business and services. Attendance is expected to exceed 40,000 fans this year. Air Show spectators spend an average of 6 hours and 15 minutes at the event. They are very mobile, visiting booths, looking at advertiser’s displays and reading signage between aerial attractions.

Community Involvement

As an Air Show advertiser/sponsor, you’ll demonstrate community goodwill by supporting this one‐of‐kind, high-visibility local event. Several community non-profits will receive funding through this year’s show. Air Shows are a proven, popular family outing, which provides affordable, wholesome entertainment.

Media/Publicity

Because of its spectacular visuals, the Air Show will receive a great deal of media coverage including local network television, radio, newspaper, local magazine and cable television coverage. As an advertiser/sponsor of the Air Show, you can benefit from media exposure of your logo, signage and displays at the event.

Escape the Clutter

Only air shows package leading‐edge technology with raw power, modern‐day heroes and the timeless mystique of human flight. The result is world‐class entertainment in a festival environment that provides marketers with:

Unmatched density of exposure
Intense fan loyalty
Ideal consumer demographics
Unparalleled sampling, coupon and product give‐away opportunities
One‐of‐a kind hospitality
Identification with popular charitable causes
Air shows create a point of differentiation and can drive business and increase customer loyalty.
Air shows can unify and motivate associates with once‐in‐a‐lifetime experiences while connecting them to a patriotic, inspirational program.
Air shows are rich in tradition and history, inspiring millions of fans each year.
Air shows are typically the largest, most popular and highest profile events in their communities and provide corporate partners with a tool to demonstrate their commitment to those communities.
Our heroes are real and personify a commitment to excellence not seen in other sports. You won’t find our athletes arrested for drugs or drinking. Their very life depends on flawless execution free of other distractions.

This year promises to be a great show. Many of the booked acts are internationally known, and for good reason. The air show is an event that will have a positive impact on our entire region and it is exciting to be part of it. If you are interested in sponsorship or would like to have a presence at the air show, please contact us at wvairshow.com for more information.
