The Festival
North Bengal is the pristine geographical
region. Though the mainstream cultural expressions of Kolkata used to copycat
some of the folk expressions of North Bengal(Like Madhab Malanchi Kainya)
hardly any folk theatre, dances, crafts(apart from two or three popular items)
come across south Bengal.
Kalaboti Mudra and Bangiya
Paromporik Kaaru O Bastra Shilpi Sangha, an association of traditional artists,

Public
Relation
Posters
& banners can be displayed at various districts of west Bengal
as Bangiya Paromporik Kaaru O Bastra Shilpi Sangha has a wide presence(as a
district committee) in all over the geographical area.
Footfall/Eyeball
As this is
the first of its kind in the area organizers are expecting about 5,000 footfalls
at the venue. The organizers will personally visit community clubs – Behala-Barisha-Thakurpukir
Club Samanyay, as well as housing
complex owners associations – Residents welfare Associations to visit this event.
Apart from
this initiatives, massive poster & banner campaign will be launched in this
particular geographical area as well as Kolkata & all the districts of
Bengal to make this event talk of the people.
For The Sponsors
This is
going to be the most premier events of Kolkata and Kalaboti Mudra and its
associates will launch this event every year hereafter. This is the first time
Kolkata is hosting North Bengal Festival named
as UTTORRONGO – of such grand scale. This event on its own will crate own
snowball effect. Apart from its own strength, Barisha-Behala-Thakurpukur-Joka-Pailan
stretch of geographical areas do not have such magnitude of events earlier,
thus it will attract more footfall as well as eyeball to the show. For last few
decades a rapid expansion of middleclass-upper-middleclass population has been
happened in this area, who can qualitatively and quantitatively contribute a positive
support to this programme. So putting advertisement or sponsoring this event at
this stretch and at the venue can create a profitable mileage for the advertisers.
Sponsoring
this event can create an emotional bondage to the people of North
Bengal for the advertisers certainly.
The sponsors will get sufficient media and eye-ball attractions. Name/Brands of the major sponsors(Above Rs.1,00,000 worth) will be placed in all the printouts and flyers or media campaign. Total Branding will put Name/Brands of the sponsor in the front of the event name i.e., AIRMAIL UTTORRONGO.
Main event banner will be displayed
at the venue prior to 20 days of the inauguration. The frontage of the Gurusaday Museum is massive and the attraction of
this banner will be a major one as this place is the entry point to the Kolkata,
laks of commuters used to play to and fro by this point.
