I lead a team to take over the running of our local / community library in Leicestershire. One of the ideas re income generation is to offer sponsorship of the library to local businesses. But we have no idea what revenue this might generate. We could offer the renaming of the library for a year, 5 years or ten years. Does anyone have any ideas of the value of such sponsorship; we don’t want to ask too little as this put pressure on other cost areas but likewise we don’t want to pitch the number too high and send potential sponsors scurrying away. Help please!
