What's it all about?

Sacred Circularities is expanding it's focus from yearly retreats to retreat scholarships and monthly videos! We're putting in place a plan to help hoopers and flow artists who want to come to our retreat, realize that dream. A percentage (15% to be exact) of your sponsorship will go toward getting one or two spinners to Bali.

Last year, Jaguar Mary and friends produced some very well-received hoop dance videos. Our tutorials of hoop dance teachers Jocelyn Gordon, Khan Wong, Baxter, Ann Humphreys and Anah (Hoopalicious) have been viewed thousands of times and have received accolades in the hoop dance community via Hooping.org, Hoopcity.ca, and Revovla Hoop Dance.

We'd like to keep the ball rolling! Sponsorship advertising is a chance for you to get involved and help bolster the documentation and experience of a vibrant and growing movement community. You can be an in-video sponsor or you can sponsor us by placing your logo on this website or in the Sacred Circularities monthly newsletter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people visit the Sacred Circularities website per month?
The Sacred Circularities site is visited between 50 to 75 times per day. That number is based on our busy video promotional season which usually starts in October. This year, we expect to increase those numbers by starting the season early with our Sponsorship campaign, initiated by the release of Rainbow Michael's video on June 15th.

How many people receive the Sacred Circularities newsletter?
Currently, about 800 people and growing!

Those numbers are little low for me, will they get better?
Yes! Every video release by Sacred Circularities acquires more and more committed viewers. We're in a beautiful expansion phase right now and we appreciate your interest in taking a leap of faith with us and becoming a sponsor of Sacred Circularities projects.

What is In-Video advertising?
SC offers three types of in-video sponsorship experience. Content: your text ad appears in the body of the video accompanied by a black and white graphic. Logo: your color logo appears immediately after the main content. Scrolling: your text ad scrolls after the logo ads appear. Watch this example featuring Rainbow Michael from Synergyfirehoops.

Where will these videos show, exactly?
The videos will be posted on the Sacred Circularities website, YouTube channel, Facebook page and the Facebook and YouTube outlets of the artists involved. SC videos receive an average of 1,000 and 2,000 views in the first month following their release date. This is why it's a good idea to advertise monthly!

How many views can I expect if I sponsor a scrolling text ad at the end of the video?
While Scrolling ads are a great budget option, you'll get more visibility by placing a Content or Logo ad. Using YouTube tools like Insight, we can tell how much viewership drops off toward the end. We've discovered that there are story-telling conventions that keep viewership from dropping out totally. Currently, we are seeing about a 15% drop in viewership after the main content. People are still watching, just not as many. Scrolling text ad sponsorships include a Logo ad on the website to supplement your sponsorship's visibility.

How will I be able to tell what the Return On my Investment will be?
You may or may not notice a spike in sales or website hits after the video you sponsor is released. We'll know more about ROIs in a few months after a bit of research. However, never fear, you will be making an investment in the community you serve and it will return to you a thousand-fold!
