ASES National Solar Tour- October 3, 2009
Sponsorship Opportunities
Largest grassroots solar event in history – expected to attract up to 165,000 attendees – offers your business a targeted way to reach motivated customers across the U.S. ready to install solar and energy efficient products.
Gain tremendous visibility for your business as part of the largest grassroots solar event in history, the ASES National Solar Tour, which is expected to attract as many as 165,000 attendees next fall. Sponsorship opportunities are now available to help you reach the largest group of solar customers before, during, and after this huge event.
Now in its 14th year, this national event offers participants to attend open-house tours of homes and buildings allowing the opportunity to see how their neighbors are using solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies to reduce their monthly utility bills and help tackle climate change. Attendees learn first hand what products are available, like yours, that they should consider purchasing. Participants will visit some 5,000 buildings in 3,000 participating communities in nearly every state across the U.S., including Washington D.C and Puerto Rico.
Don’t miss this opportunity to reach your target customers in the
world’s largest solar energy event + the national solar buyer’s guide.
When you sponsor the ASES National Solar Tour your business receives tremendous visibility via SOLAR TODAY’s Get Started 2010 issue (circulation of 100,000 +) provided to Tour visitors and available on news stands. The guide is a year-round reference that will help you reach customers who want to become informed about your products and services. It’s packed with the information they need to get started – how to find a local installer, options available for their home, calculating costs and payback periods, rebates, financing, and the most complete listing of some 1,800 solar vendors and installers, organized geographically. Distributed as a special printed edition of SOLAR TODAY magazine, this buyer’s guide is the trusted, must-have resource your prospective customers will turn to just before they buy.
These motivated customers need to learn about your products and services before they make their buying decisions. That’s why this buyer’s guide is such a timely way for you to reach them. The people who attend the ASES National Solar Tour and who receive SOLAR TODAY’s Get Started 2010 guide are the targeted customers you’ve been looking for.
76% of tour attendees surveyed confirm they are definitely or very likely to purchase and install solar or energy efficient systems after attending the solar tour. 33% of tour attendees state that they plan to invest in these technologies within the next year and 51% within two years. 49% have household income of $75k or more.
There is simply no better opportunity to reach a large targeted market that is ready to buy from you.
