im wondering the same thing. Sponsorships take time, sometimes lots of it.

jenkins-crew

It does take alot of work.......

KYRX8

lots, and it doesnt hurt to have a lot of contacts. Go to shows when you can and start meeting and talking to vendors and manufacturers, it will help in the long run

in the end sponsorships are never free, it costs something other than money....

jenkins-crew

you got that right...it does still take alot of money, time, and effort.

i could do all of the above, but i don't have that much time for it. you know, i have my own things to take care of, isn't always about the car.....

thew

free stuff.. I get that all the time..
Hey matt let me fix up your web site for free stuff.. ( 1st insult )
Hey matt sponser me and ill put a sticker on my car.. ( how many shows have you done ?) none,, (and whats so special about your Rx8 ? ... ) Umm i dont know.. ....


Anyone that is truly inneed of a real sponser will be in car shows now.. and a few mags to. Put up a web site.. make some intrest in your car.. Prove your worth some low prices on parts.. Yes low.. no ones going to give you free stuff anymore.. But last of all.. dont give up.. If your really into showing your car put lots of hard work and time into it.. it will happen..

1) You just nailed it right there... not enough of your time. You will never get a sponsorship if a company knows "your" time is more valuable than to promote their products.

2) You have been whining about 1 shipped rim for the longest time. I hope you understand that with a sponsorship, they will not want to deal with whiners.

3) You haven't even entered your car into a car show, and you expect companies/businesses to sponsor you? What type of drugs have you been taking? It's suppose to be a mutual beneficiary opportunity.

I want to defend outlaw
even though he doesn't need any help

outlaw is smart and offers this forum tons of good information

he tells it like it is and sometimes people cant take that

jenkins-crew

This is funny.....anyway, I just got 2 more sposors today, TSW and Fuzion...yeah for me...

BIU

I second that

IZoomZoomI

i third that. I talk to outlaw once in a while he's straight to the point and tell it like it is type of cat that helped me a great deal (no pun intended ) . We need more people like that in the board, keeps people in check. No siding on this conversation, just siding on his character.

okay so the arguement is over. do not continue it in this thread or on others. tru681 - your posts were very trollish. any more liekthem from you and your suspended for 7days. everyone else chill out.

now- Id like sponsors as well. Ive been to 3 shows with my car and came in second in my category at the last. I got beat by corksports company 8. I already sent aproposal to one company who said no. then i found out they are runninga contest to win an 8 all kitted up etc grrrr. im going to resubmit to them with a better proposal. the first one was the first i ever wrote and i can make it splashier have more impact etc. Why should i be sponsored? why my car? cause im ZOOM FING 44 dammit!!D:D imagine how much advertising a company can get from sponsoring me!! hell just a link in my sig would be seen a hell of alot of more than most other peoples cars!!

Thanks to those that said something positive about me... especially the ever-so-quiet-recently Mikeb. :P Glad you're still lurking around! Next meet I'll seeya is probably Sevenstock, will be too busy to go to any OC ones for awhile. I try to help out the other members of this board with my knowledge of aftermarket products... if there is a product out there, either I've seen/heard it in person, or I've wasted my own money on it. Hell, 3 bodykits later, I'm somewhat pleased, still needs improvements. Can't wait to see Zoom's Autobahn kit if you show up at Sevenstock also. And BIU, NOOOoooOo.. Stay with Ings wing, don't leave the family!

But ya, I say it like it is... not trying to step on people to make myself feel better. Remember the guy with the super hair tonic? Just telling it like it is.

Effort speaks volumes in the Sponsorship world. Like Zoom posted above.. he's writing proposals, and after that, he's writing more proposals. Entering car shows, taking the initiative. That will gain you a lot of attention in the import market. Don't act like you DESERVE to get a sponsorship... just be open to helping their company in advertising their products. The other part is having some connection, be friends from within the company. The last ingredient is obviously money. It'll take some money just to start it up. Once you have all three, go with it... sponsorship heaven.

what? but i DO deserve a sponsorship!!:D

i

EZZY

word to that.....
we are still getting 2 sentences emails and telephone calls asking for full sponsorship
