Being instrumental in funding Scottish Fiddle Orchestra's tour of China sounds like a great idea

The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra (a charity registered in Scotland, no. SCO10753) is touring ten major concert venues in China, with a potential audience of 10,000 to 15,000 people, from 28th December to 13th January, 2013.

"We are seeking some financial support in return for advertising and promotion.

1. Gifts for Dignitaries.

"We are told that we should expect a leading Dignitary from the local area to attend each of our concerts and have been advised by our agent to bring twelve gifts which can be publicly presented if this arises. These gifts have potential to lead to wider sales. We would like to find a whisky/other supplier who would be interested in supplying the gifts as promotional items.

2. Advertising in tour brochure.

"We are preparing a tour brochure, translated into Mandarin and handed out to the audiences at each concert. We are advised that 8,000 copies will be required. The cost of the brochure, which we have to fund ourselves, is expected to be of the order of £4,000.00. We are looking for a sponsor for the brochure, who can tailor all advertising to themselves, or for individual adverts at around £500.00 per half page.

3. Tour Sponsor.

"We would be pleased to hear from anyone who would wish to sponsor the whole tour. We are delighted to have received a grant from Creative Scotland, and the performers are also contributing towards costs. We would be pleased to find tour sponsor for £10,000.00, in return for which we would additionally promote the brand at all of our concerts from the stage, and distribute samples and literature as required".
