Why Would a Company Give You Cash or Materials?

Because it's an exchange of value. This is precisely why we were able to raise $70,000 in corporate product sponsorships to build our Homazooma Tiny House even though we had never built one before. Companies, large and small, frequently sponsor teams, projects, events, charities, and just about anything you could think of. Why? Because it’s good business. Sponsorships are typically part of corporate advertising and marketing strategies, because your use of their product, is valuable to them.

Why build a Tiny House and How Long Will it Take?

It's a fantastic business opportunity and it makes great financial sense! Do you like paying rent or a mortgage? Like us, you probably don't. The timing for your Tiny House sponsorship project is great too, since increasingly, Tiny Houses are being featured in mainstream media. They're becoming more popular as part of the solution to a growing national housing crisis. For you, and your sponsors though, it means a great opportunity with mutual benefits. If you apply the steps in this book carefully, you could have all your materials inside of three months, and a completed Tiny House worth $40,000 or more. If you get your labor sponsored, within three months to a year, you'll have your completed home. You'll be able to move in, rent it, go traveling in it or even sell it. Can it get any better?

Can Anyone Do it?

Absolutely! No special skills or background is required. All you need is a desire to get a Tiny House on wheels paid for by sponsors, this book and access to email and a phone.

12 Steps to Getting Your Tiny House Build Paid For By Sponsors

1. Know Why You're Asking - What's Your Plan? Create a mission statement and learn what value sponsors are seeking.

2. Your Tiny House Project is a Business. Understand the sponsor's only concern: What's in it for me? Understanding that, makes it easier for you to manage it, like the business it is.

3. Dealing With Sponsors - Understand the Basics. Learn how to create value for your sponsors, understand the various types of sponsors, and the how each size of company operates within the 'sponsor world'. They can be small local businesses or multinationals.

4. Finding Sponsors. A materials list is included in this book, so you know which sponsors to pitch. Learn how to find the contacts in each potential sponsor company, and create your pitch letter. You can use our template or create one based on step by step instructions in the book.

5. Tiny House Sponsors Tracking. The spreadsheet you'll download makes it super easy to manage the entire process. You'll track your materials, contacts and all communications so you'll always be on top of the entire process.

6. It's Not Just About the Money, But It's Still About Value. In some cases, you'll get support, but your value to sponsors may not be what you think. You, as a consumer using and promoting their product can be more valuable to them than a professional product commercial with paid actors.

7. Choosing a Lifestyle That Works for You and Merits Support. What you offer your sponsors must be something you're already doing or are planning to do. By the way, it doesn't matter where you live, or where the sponsors are.

8. Materials, Cash or Both? Materials for your Tiny House are easier to get, but depending on the sponsor or your project, cash support is possible. You'll understand the approval process and the difference between taking discontinued products and new products being introduced by manufacturers.

9. The Pitch How you approach sponsors can make or break the deal. You'll be able to send that email with confidence and handle yourself like a professional on the phone.
