And finally, a look back at why you should partner with HourGlass Couture.
 
Your business is almost certainly not associated with the fashion industry, but if you read the motivation, you can see how beneficial HGC can be to the town and its' economy.
 
Hermanus is a tourism and festival based economy, and introducing a new layer of high profile attraction to the town and its' reputation will have knock-on effects that flow down well understood streams of revenue into local business.
 
The HGC target audience ... wealthy, high LSM group, 25 - 45 age group ... is an unusually high percentage of regional demographics. This audience is brought together to be leveraged by businesses like yours, with the help of the marketing agency/organizer ... if you decide to support HGC.
 
In general though, the benefits look like this:
 
1.   Access to the full and extensive range of services of Aktileda Marketing (that happens to be the organizer)
2.   Custom benefit plan, to meet investor aims and objectives
3.   Exposure of your brand to high LSM discerning product buyers
4.   Opportunities to associate your brand with a prestige event in a famous location
5.   Spokesperson access and product exposure (where appropriate) to a personal-engagement audience
6.   Mentions and logo placement on event participant marketing content
