All sponsors will be featured on NorthCarolinaFashion.com, including a dedicated spotlight post, and your logo and brand name will appear on our homepage.
We’ll also promote your business on social media in the lead-up to the event, with dedicated shout-outs and tags to help drive engagement and visibility.
During the show, your brand will receive a thank-you announcement before the runway begins, and your logo may be displayed on event signage or digital screens (where applicable).
Sponsors who provide items for VIP gift bags will also get their products directly into the hands of our most engaged, high-value attendees.
