Eric is in the early stages of a 40+ city tour of the State of Wisconsin, appearing at various venues -- mostly public libraries -- from Hartland to Hayward, presenting his program "Forged in Blood: How the Iron Brigade Earned their Metallic Moniker."
"Forged in Blood: How the Iron Brigade Earned their Metallic Moniker" is a 45-minute program which tells the story of more than 3,000 Wisconsinites who served with distinction during our Civil War. The program serves as fine sidebar and means to sell Eric's novel.
Why should you sponsor?
Eric does not charge fees to libraries or their patrons, ensuring that even the smallest of towns can afford to invite him to speak to their residents. He asks only for the opportunity to sell and sign copies of his book after each event, and then donates a copy of the book to the library for their generosity in allowing him to speak. Your sponsorship will allow Eric to continue this practice of "No Fee" public speaking.
In sponsoring this event, your company will receive exposure in anywhere from 40 to 70 towns, villages, and cities throughout the state of Wisconsin. Each event will draw between 10 and 50 attendees. As of September 21st, 2017, the tour consists of 43 venues. For the $2600 sponsorship, your company would be paying just over $60 per event for those 43 dates. But more events are being added to the schedule every week. Should the tour reach 70 dates, the exposure over those dates would cost your company just $37.14 per event, with exposure BEFORE and DURING each event!
