Sponsorship Packages

There are two Corporate Sponsorship packages available to the military resale supplier community, as shown below, through AREA's Annual Marketing Program. AAFES senior management is furnished copies of marketing materials sent to AREA members and their supporters. You'll be put on our mailing list to receive your own copies.

The sponsorship period is one year, to coincide with our convention planning process. The convention itself is held at a different location each year.

The members of AREA present these objectives for the Corporate Sponsorship Program:

  • To build and maintain long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between AREA members and the military resale supplier community. 
  • To enhance our Friends & Neighbors Programs. 
  • To assist our sponsors through our annual marketing program, and thus aid their visibility in the AREA community. 
  • To ensure the continued growth and success of AREA through our organization's activities and events. 

AREA gratefully accepts merchandise and services from all corporate sponsors for use as raffle prizes given to participants at our annual convention. The prizes may be products manufactured and/or distributed by the sponsor, and services suitable for a raffle drawing.
