I always include a self-addressed stamped envelope. I put a colored sticky on one copy of the contract, reminding the sponsor that they need to sign one copy. This is because people seem to be reading less and less with each passing day. I have never put a date that the contract needs to be returned by. However, that may change at any moment. I am finding that sponsors say they never received the contract, or they lost it, or yada yada yada. It seems people's lives are getting more complicated, and I, like you, are spending more time on the phone reminding sponsors that they have not yet sent their contract back to me. In this age of shrinking bookings, I hate to lose a gig just because the sponsor hasn't returned it by a specified time. I would just advise everyone to stay on top of the situation, and pleasantly remind the sponsor that you have reserved the specified date for them, and you need their signed contract to be returned to you as soon as possible.
