Types of Sponsorship Opportunities

Year-Round Sponsorship Opportunities 

Crop Reports

Sponsor a Crop Report update and receive the opportunity to share a brief message to all ASTA members. Sponsors have the chance to provide a three-minute video about their company’s products and services that will be broadcast at the beginning of the Crop Report update. This recording will be clearly labeled as sponsored content and is subject to review by ASTA. 

Crop Report updates are issued several times each year and are available as video recordings to all ASTA members. This sponsorship opportunity is limited to one sponsor per session and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

The price of sponsoring a Crop Report is $3,500 and is limited to ASTA members.

Strategic Partnerships

Strategic Partnerships are a great way for members to support ASTA in achieving its strategic goals by sponsoring the overall objective of ASTA’s strategic plan. Strategic Partners receive recognition on the ASTA website, in the ASTA newsletter, and in all other ASTA general communications. Strategic Partners are not recognized on specific event communications where event sponsors are already recognized.

The price of a 12-month Strategic Partnership is $5,000 and is limited to ASTA members. 

Dedicated Sponsored Electronic Mailing

ASTA will send a sponsored email with your content to the entire ASTA membership database. Sponsored content may include promotional information about your company’s products and/or services, along with images and links. Mailings will be clearly labeled as sponsored content in the subject line and body of the message. All sponsored content is subject to review by ASTA staff to ensure that it meets ASTA’s professional standards and the association’s policies. ASTA staff will work with your company on the design and will review the final mailing to ensure quality.

Pricing for a single e-blast is $2,500 for Members and $5,000 for Non-Members. 

Event Sponsorship

Event sponsorship is a great way to show your support for ASTA while gaining targeted exposure for your company. Event sponsorship typically opens at the same time as event registration and will close about one month before the event. 

Sponsor Premier Events

ASTA hosts two premier annual events: the ASTA Annual Meetings & Exhibits each spring and the ASTA Regulatory Workshop in the fall. We offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities for these events. 

When you sponsor an ASTA event, your company will receive extensive recognition. Sponsor benefits may include the use of your logo in marketing communications, on signs and banners at the event, or on branded items such as lanyards. Many premier event sponsorships also include additional advertising benefits, such as website or newsletter advertising packages. 

Sponsorship of ASTA’s premier events is an exclusive, members-only benefit. 

Webinars and Education

ASTA is committed to delivering timely, engaging education to our members throughout the year through our virtual seminars on topics of interest to the spice industry. Webinar topics include technical updates, information on new regulations, and more. These events are usually offered live and then recorded and made available for playback. 

Webinar sponsors receive recognition by having their company logo featured in promotional materials, including the webinar webpage, presentation slides, electronic mass mailing promotions, and ASTA’s LinkedIn. Sponsors also receive verbal recognition during the live broadcast.

Webinar sponsorships typically range from $1,000 to $3,500. Contact Margarita Passero at mpassero@astaspice.org for more information or to be notified when a webinar sponsorship opportunity is available.
