(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, April 16, 2016 ) Shadow Hills, CA -- Improving the visibility and status of fundraising events in order to increase giving and attendance means putting on a good show, and the best show in town might be a red carpet-style gala. The extra effort could be critical, since charitable events have a lower ROI than many other fundraising methods according to industry surveys.
Step and Repeat LA has seen the benefit of adding in some glitz and glamour, even for fundraisers that aren't national news. "Most events we see ‘going for the gold'—even kind of smaller ones—seem to benefit big time from adding a little glitz and glam. They get more attention, they attract more celebrities and, frankly, they get more donations," says company spokesman Anthony Klemp.
The Los Angeles-based company specializes in setting up red carpet venues with ‘photo op' logo backdrops and red carpet setups with all the required add-ons such as stanchions, velvet ropes and lights. According to Klemp, the photo op event itself is a big draw. "When you let the celebrity world know that an event is going to get coverage and cameras will be clicking, things start to happen. The red carpet is part ‘A', the cameras are part ‘B'."
According to Klemp, letting sponsors know they can get a logo on the photo wall is another draw. "Backers love the publicity, for sure," he said, "and when you tell them they'll be featured in every photo at a staged event, they perk right up and get involved!" Social media momentum is an additional after-effect of a red carpet event. "Fundraising is tough," commented Codi-Rose Collins, Executive Director of Step and Repeat LA, "but once you have some momentum, things start moving on their own. It's viral. Word gets out and people jump in for a chance to get their photos on the blogs," she said.
Charitable causes get an immediate 10% discount and the company sometimes provides red carpet setups as a sponsor. The website provides a form charities can submit in order to be considered for sponsorship.
