PARTNER WITH BEARAPALOOZA
The Present:
The community of gay men known as Bears is a powerful and growing demographic. They are fiercely loyal to brands that are perceived as having genuine involvement in their community. Bears travel to social weekends, or "Runs" throughout the world all year round, and usually have above-average disposable income levels. Having a presence in this community can give your business an opportunity to market to a targeted audience and allow you to develop brand loyalty with this group of consumers. We invite you to consider sponsorship of an established and well known concert event called Bearapalooza that brings talented performers to Bear events and GLBT establishments across the country.
