The sponsorship one-pager that beats a 30-slide deck
23 June 2026 · 2 min read · Simple Sponsors team
The one-pager wins because of what it admits: that the reader is busy, that the decision starts with a skim, and that your event can be judged on its facts. Compression is a credibility signal. Padding is one too, in the other direction.
Five blocks, one page. Here is the layout.
Block one: the event in numbers
Name, date, venue, city, expected attendance, and one line on who attends. This block answers is this relevant in five seconds, because five seconds is what you actually get.
Block two: one image with proof in it
A single photo of a real crowd at your real event. Not a collage, not a stock image, not the empty venue looking pretty. If it is your first edition, use the venue with your setup plan and label it honestly.
Block three: packages and prices in a small table
Tier names, two or three headline benefits each, and the price. This is the block people photograph and forward, which is precisely why the prices belong on it.
Block four: past sponsors or credibility line
Logos if you have them, a factual line if you do not: second edition, first ran with six local sponsors, or organized by the team behind a named prior event. One honest line does the work.
Block five: the ask, a QR code, and a name
A named contact with a phone number, and a QR code straight to your listing or payment-ready application. On Simple Sponsors, that QR can point at your live listing, where the packages sit next to an apply button. The one-pager gets them interested; the listing lets them act on it before the interest cools.
