## Goal
In this task we will figure out ways to encourage supporting members to become patrons using joint promotion as an incentive.
## Precedent
>Dear Aniqa, Paul,
>There's something we have been trying to figure out, for some time and we were hoping you (and Promo overall) would be able to help us there.
>One of the ways we gain new sponsors is through the Supporting Membership and ultimately becoming a KDE Patron. The perks we offer there (logo on the website, sit on the advisory board, etc) are useful, but we were thinking that maybe we could also extend it a bit through promo.
>We have discussed some ideas of how it could be done and what it could entail, but in practice it's still mostly open. We were thinking for example that we could reach out to them (maybe the Advisory Board?) twice a year and ask them if there's ways to collaborate. This could be social media campaigns, guest articles, etc.
>We'd like to know if you would be able to take on the task and which ways you can see promo working with them.
>I've been mentioning two groups that overlap but aren't entirely the same. Linking them here to make sure we're not lost in the way.
>https://ev.kde.org/supporting-members/
>https://ev.kde.org/advisoryboard/
>Reaching out to you rather than promo overall because it can be a delicate subject, but it's something that can be extended to the rest of Promo.
>Thanks!
>Aleix
