RCC offers a wide range of sponsorship opportunities, each designed to heighten your profile through brand recognition, product/service visibility, and executive-level presence. Your level of sponsorship is based on your participation in our retail conferences, award shows, educational programs, print and Web advertising, industry reports, etc. The more opportunities you choose to sponsor, the higher your level of sponsorship and the greater your value. Sponsorship is based on a year long agreement and RCC will customize a package to fit your needs and your budget. Contra opportunities are also available; ask an RCC representative for more information on the various in-kind services offered.
