To reflect the current financial climate, sponsorship rates this season are being held at the 2007/08 level.

Partnering Bury in Bloom is a cost-effective and popular way of placing your company name and logo before the public, and is a fraction of the cost of newspaper or local radio advertising. Being seen to support Bury in Bloom sends a very positive message to the local community.

Most of the sites that take sponsor signs are on busy roundabouts, and benefit from a constant through-put of traffic.

We have been told that our annual charge of between £900 and £2,200 – is the most reasonable in the UK for this sort of advertising. That is because, although funding is very important to what we can achieve to improve Bury St Edmund’s environment, as significant is forming a good and lasting relationship with our sponsors.

There are also opportunities for companies to offer sponsorship in kind, rather than cash. This is proving particularly effective at the moment with our partnership with Premier Printers, who have signage on the busy Tayfen Road roundabout.

Sponsorship of roundabouts and other planted areas come up for renewal in July each year. Many sites have two distinct planting schemes each year – autumn/spring and summer.
