Euhm ? What could be the reason for a Romanian Studio to spend 5 up to 10K to sponsor a summit ?
Ok, I also invest budgets to recruit, to fund incentives, group-parties and so on...but I cannot understand why so many invest these budgets to be "sponsor" at a Summit in Barcelona or where ever ?
Only one reason I can come up with > Bragging ? And when 1 started, others followed...
Seems to have become kinda "bon ton" "to be seen" "strange eager to show off"...
Cause attending a summit, okay...but sponsoring one...nope, i not see any "return" to be gained from it...
But hey, maybe i am missing something 
Our bizz of course is a magnet for "show-offs"...
No wonder they call us "cyber-pimps"...some surely deserve that name
Post this or not post this...what the hell, yeah post it...click |
Thank you for your thoughts and thanks for posting .... click
You are clearly missing the big picture, it`s not about bragging, it`s about branding.
These summit and events cant take place without the financial support of those sponsors, live cam companies and cam studios. Everyone is showing their support in order to make those events happen so they can meet and discuss business, that`s the main point of this kind of events.
Live cam studios recently started to attend events ( a couple years ago) because they learned it`s the best way to mix and mingle with their business partners. Before that, only live cam companies were sponsoring events, would you acuse them for bragging as well? I think it`s called marketing, brand awareness, it doesnt matter if you are a cam studio, cam site, payment processor, marketing it`s a common language that every person who activates in a business should know - they sponsor an event in exchange of promotion. Simple as that.
Thank you.
