WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE TO MAKE THIS THE BEST AIR SHOW!

People are bombarded with advertisements from the moment they wake to the moment they go to sleep. Air shows provide a new and unique opportunity for marketers to escape the clutter and project their messages in a landscape that is not yet crowded with mass advertising. For a period of time measured in hours and minutes, rather than seconds, customers and potential customers are exposed to the comparatively few messages. Air shows are world-class entertainment in a festival environment, organized by the community and for the community, and they provide companies with:

  • Title sponsorship opportunities
  • Unmatched density of exposure
  • Intense fan loyalty
  • Ideal consumer demographics
  • Unparalleled product awareness opportunities
  • Exclusive brand sponsorship and on-site sales
  • Cross promotions between brands and retailers
  • Partnerships with non-competing products
  • One-of-a-kind VIP hospitality
  • Identification with local charitable causes
