For our generous sponsors, we want to emphasize that in addition to building goodwill and building brand association, we were actually able to deliver $886 worth of sponsorship exposure at the industry standard $10/CPM. It’s vitally important that everyone at PodCamp had a good time, but secondarily, it’s nice to be able to show sponsors that they weren’t just flinging hard-earned dollars into a big black hole.

I think next year I want to expand the sponsors and try to get some more non-tech companies to want to get involved. Maybe we can get the t-shirts sponsored by a clothing company?
American Apparel has a Second Life store and a video podcast.
