"We began our sponsorship with KSPS in the spring of 2015, and since then we have seen an increase in traffic to our website and have had a number of people download our corporate membership brochure. For us, this was a very good and prudent use of our funds as a sponsor of KSPS. I highly recommend that anyone wishing to reach an affluent market through sponsorship consider KSPS."
