Expand your Company’s Marketing with an MTBC Sponsorship

Are you looking for a cost effective way to increase your visibility to potential customers? Want to find a way to gain an excellent return on your marketing dollars? The MTBC has the answer. Become a sponsor of an MTBC event!

“Over 1600 people combined attended the Management and Technical Luncheons in 2008. The Tech Link Golf Tournament has over 150 players and volunteers participate last year. Tech Titans had over 750 in attendance. So, the benefit is that the sponsor has the opportunity to target its message to the specific audience it desires at a very reasonable cost when compared to other forms of advertising, “said Paul Bendel, Senior Vice President of the MTBC.

The benefits of being an MTBC sponsor go beyond just having a corporate name attached to an event. Sponsors send their unique advertising message directly to decision makers of member companies and non-member companies that attend MTBC events. Sponsors increase their level of engagement with the MTBC which in turn showcases their products and services.
