THE 2007 PUEBLO AIR SHOW was a wonderful success story. Over 10,000 people came to watch the first air show in many years. Families from as far away as Lamar and Trinidad were there. Pueblo again proved to be a wonderful host for families from across southern Colorado. The response from the Pueblo business community was extraordinary. And all of our sponsors left happy and sunburned, talking about next year!

GOALS FOR PUEBLO AIR SHOW 

Air Show Demographics (2006)

• Families: 48% had a child in their group

2006 survey of air show spectators, commissioned by the International Council of Air Shows

1. To promote Pueblo Airport and its long-term goal of "growing" the airport.
2. To develop a top-notch aerial aerobatic and exhibition show;
3. To continually grow and market the event into a draw for regional tourism (the attendance goal for 2008 is set at 15,000 spectators);
4. To serve as a fundraising partner to benefit local not-for-profits (over $14,000 raised in 2007).

EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH

Attendance is expected to substantially increase in 2008 due to the line-up of nationally recognized acts, increased name recognition, and expanded television, radio and earned print media exposure.

Without the generous support of sponsors, THE AIR SHOW would not be possible. Why sponsor an air show? As a sponsor, you enjoy many benefits including opportunities to:

• Place your business in front of thousands of potential clients. THE AIR SHOW is an efficient marketing vehicle;
• Build brand awareness with a greater density;
• Take advantage of outstanding photo and video media opportunities;
• Demonstrate support of our local military;
• Foster community pride and goodwill;
• Provide a great opportunity for unique client or VIP entertainment.

Place your business in front of an attractive, broad-based demographic audience! SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES have been designed to increase your market exposure with your level of investment. These packages provide unique entertainment value for clients or employees while increasing your name recognition to the general public. AIRCRAFT AND ACT SPONSORSHIPS are also available to offset the cost of bringing a specific act or aircraft to THE AIR SHOW. These sponsorships will bring you focused exposure on land and in the air.
