Friendly Neighbor

The Friendly Neighbor sponsorship tier is designed for businesses, organizations, and individuals who want to make a meaningful impact in the Garden State Gay Socials (GSGS) community while maintaining strong visibility at all events. Priced at $2,000 per month, Friendly Neighbor offers sponsors a mid-tier level of engagement, balancing premium exposure with approachable, community-driven recognition. This tier is perfect for those who want to actively support LGBTQ+ social events for gay men while establishing their brand as a trusted, welcoming presence in the community.

Friendly Neighbor is all about being approachable and welcoming, emphasizing friendship, connection, and consistent support. Sponsors at this level are recognized as key allies and contributors to the success of GSGS events. By committing to this tier, sponsors gain a strategic presence across multiple channels, including social media, event signage, newsletters, and goodie bags, ensuring their brand is seen and appreciated by a highly engaged audience.

Social Media Recognition

One of the most significant benefits of the Friendly Neighbor tier is featured social media campaigns each quarter, applied to all events. These campaigns include:

  • Dedicated posts highlighting the sponsor’s brand, support, and contributions

  • Cross-platform promotion across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and other channels

  • Opportunities for direct engagement with the LGBTQ+ community and event attendees

By being featured in a dedicated social media campaign, sponsors receive consistent visibility, positioning their brand as a friendly, approachable supporter of gay men’s social events. Social media recognition helps sponsors reach hundreds or even thousands of participants, increasing brand awareness and community goodwill.

Event Visibility

Friendly Neighbor sponsors are prominently featured at all events, with their logo displayed on banners, printed materials, and other signage. This ensures that attendees immediately recognize your support and contribution to the event’s success. Your brand becomes a visible and trusted presence, reinforcing your commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and enhancing your reputation as a reliable, approachable ally.

Event visibility also allows sponsors to:

  • Connect with attendees in-person

  • Strengthen brand recognition in a fun, social setting

  • Demonstrate tangible support for the local LGBTQ+ community

Friendly Neighbor sponsorship guarantees that your logo and branding are seen at every touchpoint of the event, from arrival to participation and departure.

Newsletter Recognition

In addition to social media and event visibility, Friendly Neighbor sponsors receive featured sponsor bios in the newsletter for all events. This consistent recognition allows your brand to:

  • Highlight your commitment to supporting gay men’s social networking events

  • Share information about your business or organization with a highly targeted audience

  • Encourage attendees and readers to connect with your brand online or in-person

Newsletter recognition ensures that your sponsorship extends beyond the event itself, creating long-lasting connections with a dedicated community.

Goodie Bag Participation

Friendly Neighbor sponsors are eligible to provide up to three branded items per event, with the logo prominently displayed on the bag insert. Goodie bags are distributed to attendees at every event, giving sponsors the opportunity to:

  • Engage participants with tangible branded items

  • Create a lasting impression that extends beyond the event

  • Build brand loyalty and recognition within the GSGS community

Goodie bag participation allows sponsors to blend marketing with community support, giving attendees a positive association with your brand and a tangible reminder of your commitment to fostering social connections.
