Sponsorship Opportunites

The SSPCC does not receive funding from the USPS. Our only source of revenue is from the events we organize and our generous sponsors. When the pandemic hit and we were limited to online learning these sponsor ships helped keep us solvent, and even allowed us to purchase equipment so that we could hybrid meetings once things opened up again. In order to continue providing the highest level of service possible to our industry, we are always looking for corporate sponsors to help us fund our programs.

Would your organization be willing to support the SSPCC by serving as a sponsor this year? A SSPCC sponsorship will increase the visibility and reputation of your organization in the direct marketing community. Sponsors will be recognized on the SSPCC website, in event mailings, in our newsletters, and more. See our Sponsor/Join page for more details.
