^{Time4Change strives for excellence and innovation in all areas and this includes providing a full range of media resources and on-line services for our clients to utilise for their own marketing and event promotion. We have developed a broad range of material to reflect the diverse needs of our client base which range from national charities with their own in house graphic and web designers to local charities staffed entirely by volunteers.}

^{All services are inclusive. We're aware that some companies are content to turn up on the day and offer little or no support with the actual organisation. We simply match our services to the needs of the event. This allows the client to match their own resources to ours and provides a more flexible approach to marketing and promotion.}

^{Invariably, every company that offers events like firewalking on a sponsored template will tell you how successful these events can be. Of course while we agree with this statement, we always add the caveat that it depends on the necessary support structures such as the right promotion and marketing.}

^{We recognise that its not just about promoting the event itself, it's "selling" the concept of firewalking, board breaking and glasswalking to potential participants. Some people instantly ask where they can sign up when asked to participate in a T4C sponsored event; other people are less spontaneous and ask for lots of information about the event before committing; others still have a number of preconceptions about events like firewalking which need dispelling before they consider participating. The resources we offer address these varied needs and range from DVDs and on-line video of actual sponsored events to comprehensive 'Frequently Asked Questions' information sheets.} 

^{All the print and web based media we produce is individually created to blend and embed the organisation's colours, logos and any specific message within the existing media templates.}

^{Perhaps the key thing that all these resources give the organisers who collaborate with us is freedom.}

^{Part of our huge investment of energy to make all this possible was based on a realisation about the limited time, energy and resources each organiser has to spend on a given event. This includes the amount of time it took each organiser to create marketing and promotional resources before even beginning to think about promoting the event. In addition to this was the added cost to each organiser who had to outsource things like web pages and poster design.}

^{In recognition of this, within a maximum of a week of the organiser securing the event through a deposit, everything you request will be ready for you. By responding to the needs of the client, we free them up to do what they are best at, which is talking to potential participants and promoting the event itself. We see every event as a collaboration and it is as much in our interests as it is in yours for your event to be as successful as possible.}

^{We pride ourselves on having the most experienced firewalking and glasswalking instructor in the UK coupled with the most innovative approach to marketing and promotion. For us it's simple, more media and public exposure means more walkers which means a bigger event and increased fundraising revenue.}

We provide each client with a minimum of 30 DVD discs featuring footage from various past T4C events. Their purpose is twofold; first of all the DVD acts as a recruitment tool for our events and secondly, it can be used by participants in turn to show to potential sponsors exactly what they will be doing to raise funds. We have found that many people who were initially non-committal about participating in for example a sponsored firewalking event, completely changed their minds once they saw the crowds, the excitement of the event and most importantly, people like themselves taking part and having a great time while raising funds.

MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL EMAIL Increasingly, people look to the internet as their primary source of information and emails are one of the main mechanisms for directing where to go and what to see on the net. We design and create an individual promotional email for your event which can be sent out to supporters, the general public, the media and local businesses alike. Unlike the vast majority of plain text emails people receive in their mailbox every day and disregard, the emails we produce are in full colour with your logo, colours, images, text and hyper-links to the promotional web page we create for you. The emails are great "viral marketing" tools as they are free and are invariably forwarded to colleagues, friends and family by the initial recipients, thus ever expanding your pool of potential participants.   To see an example of a full size version of the email on the left simply click here and either open or download it.

^{SPONSOR FORM: All sponsor forms are designed with the client logo and embedded with any specific bylines or messages requested by the client.

The firewalking FAQ for example includes a background to the history of firewalking; the various scientific and non-scientific explanations for why it is possible; all the answers to the questions potential participants invariably ask such as how it feels, does it hurt etc. We also include a detailed account of what exactly happens on the night.}}

^{_{INFORMATION SHEET: Again, like all the other resources we produce, the information sheet is embedded with the client logo. The information sheet is designed as a basic introduction to a given event an includes primary information about the event, contact details etc.}}

^{_{We provide all the above resources in both word format for printing purposes and in PDF format for downloading from the client web page. Organising a sponsored event can be a daunting experience, especially if this is your first time.

^{_{Some participants prefer to have all their material printed for them while others are happy to download and print the material off themselves. Either way, all our resources allow you to hit the ground running when you book an event with T4C.}}

^{There are many companies that offer events such as firewalking and glasswalking on a sponsored template and all will claim to have the most 'experienced' trainers or offer the 'best' services. Some companies will charge less than we do and others far more. Regardless of this, we can guarantee that no company has a trainer as experienced as Cliff Mann of Time4Change nor will any be able to offer the comprehensive set of resources we do. When considering which company to choose it is important to take ALL these factors into account.}
