Business Sponsors
By becoming a business sponsor of People Power, you support our advocacy efforts toward sensible transportation needs in Santa Cruz County.
What People Power Members Get
Business Sponsors provide People Power members with a discount on goods or services. Amount and conditions of discount are determined by each business individually.
What Business Sponsors Get
- For a minimum $200 donation to People Power, we will run a one-time, 3.5" x 2" ad in the Update (up to two per issue), or a story about a business if there is something of particular interest to our readers.
- A list of Businesses Sponsors is listed on the back page of every Update as well as on our web site, including a link to the Sponsor's web site.
- The People Power Update is mailed four times a year directly to almost 400 members with approximately 800 more distributed through local bike shops, tabling, Bike to Work day, Bike Valet Parking, and other locations.
How It Works
Business Sponsors arrange membership with People Power. Our graphic designer can work with you to create an ad for the Update. People Power only accepts business sponsors that we think members will be interested in. We reserve the right to refuse a sponsorship for any reason.
When doing business with a Sponsor, People Power members present their membership card for discount on goods or services. Member cards are valid for the calendar year (January - December) and will be renewed annually.
