Indiana Heritage Quilt Show
March 5-7, 2015
Dear Potential Sponsor:
As many as 4,000 quilters will be attending the Indiana Heritage Quilt Show in
Bloomington, Indiana, this March 5-7, 2015. This show features beautiful and
innovative quilts from all over the United States, as well as quilts made by
midwestern artisans. Some of these attendees will be quilters and fiber artists and
who live and work in the area surrounding Bloomington, and some will be visiting
Bloomington for the first time. While these quilters are in town, they will frequent
our local restaurants, shops and businesses, and they will often bring their families
and return to the site of a good show.
Sponsors of the Indiana Heritage Quilt Show have a unique opportunity to attract
these visitors into their restaurants, shops and businesses. Those attending the
show will often walk from the show location, the Bloomington Convention Center, to
the downtown area for a little shopping or a meal with new friends. Quilters often
come to town with money to spend and a desire to socialize and shop with friends,
new and old, and so sponsoring the show can be a very effective way of reaching an
affluent market and developing a devoted and repeat clientele.
There are a number of sponsorship opportunities that will provide your business
with increased visibility and advertising. Downtown show sponsors also receive a
special sign for their storefronts to attract and welcome quilters and to generate
excitement both in the store and for the show itself.
Attached is more information about sponsorship opportunities, including a
registration form. Please email or call Sponsor Chairperson, Donna Stevens,
812/322-2987, or email [email protected] if you have any questions.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity!
Best regards,
Donna M. Stevens
