Sponsorships, which are fantastic marketing tools, are available for the 2022 ATA Trade Show in Indianapolis, Jan. 11-13. Over the last five in-person events, the ATA Show has averaged more than 600 exhibitors and 8,000-plus attendees. The ATA’s 2022 post-Show survey indicated 74% of exhibitors planned to release at least one new product at the 2023 Show. Sponsorships have the power to drive sales, support the industry, heighten customer awareness, and help your brand stand out from the competition. And they’re available right now!

Sponsorship Testimonial
Many ATA members renew their sponsorship annually and praise the ATA for offering premier opportunities. That includes Jonathan Clark, who oversees media, marketing and shooting staff for Last Chance Archery. He sponsors the Wi-Fi and educational seminars each year and receives a good return on investment for his purchases.
“We continue to purchase these sponsorships because of the visibility the sponsorships give us during the ATA Show each year,” he said. “These are two sponsorships we try to keep each year. The advertising benefits during the Show far outweigh the current cost of each sponsorship.”
Clark likes that every person who uses the internet sees the Wi-Fi splash page, which displays the Last Chance Archery logo and links to its new products, therefore keeping the brand in the forefront of dealers’ minds. Sponsoring the seminars puts the Last Chance Archery logo and name on signage all over the Show floor. It also gives Last Chance Archery the opportunity to put catalogs in the seminar rooms and present a seminar to highlight its products.
