Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Think about the businesses you already patronize, especially ones that are very familiar with you!.!.!. your dentist, your doctor, local grocery stores, hair/nail/tanning salons, your bank, restaurants you eat at often, your gym, etc!. Ask to meet with management and explain about your pageant and how their sponsorship will not only help you to compete, but it will also possibly bring new business to them!. Talk to them about the program book they will be featured in (assuming there is a program book) and discuss ad sizes if relevant!. After you go through the businesses you are familiar with, try local ones you are not so familiar with, and consider talking to family and friends!.!.!. if they can't personally sponsor you, perhaps their business can!. Best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
