When you go into askingg a company for a sponsorship. May sure you have a good presentation. Not just I want some free stuff. They will want to know what kind of coverage you will give them be it shows magazines etc. You need to list the show you have been to and what you r placed and the ones you plan on attending. Most companies want to see that you have put a lot of time and money into your car. They usually will set up a contract for 16 months in were you have to go to x amount of shows. And be willinmg to have decals omn your car for that amount of time. I have a sponsor that will reimburs the cost of shows to me. They will want a list of mods you have done and plan on doing. Some of them want it submitted in writing as in mailled to them others will take you presentation on a cd. I have gotten free stuff and thinks for 60% off. I will tell you it is work you have to show them you are willing to advertise for them and some will want to use your car for shows.

But you'll be willing to take the $80 from anyone, regardless of their chance at actually getting any sponsors, right?
If I come to you with a stock 85 Civic and ask for sponsors, you'll take my $80 to write proposals, even though there is just no way I'll get sponsored.
For the most part, guys, sponsors are not worth the effort. If you want to save money on parts, put the money into getting the papaerwork to set yourself up as a business and then buy your parts at dealer cost. Then you have no obligation to spend every weekend parked at some stupid car show - and nobody else has any claim whatsoever to the use of your vehicle.

I know enough people that have had serious sponsirs for their race and audio competition cars to know that they're generally not worth the hassle for what you get in return.
If it boost your ego or your own perceived value of the car, then I suppose it's for you. Of course, it may make more sense just to buy the vinyl sticker if you really want it and spend your weekends as you please without being expected to give use of your car to a company's promotional efforts.

it doesnt do anything for my ego to be sponsored. It makes it so I dont have to spend all my money on building my cars. I go to a show just about every weekend as well as SEMA every year and SEMA IAS. So if these companies want my car, it really doesnt bother me, because I am at those shows anyways. And besides, I have a back up car. So it really doesnt bother me. I enjoy seeing my car at a show and people looking at it. And as far as a SERIOUS race team not needing a sponsor because they are a hassle.. You are crazy. Lets see a pro race team operate without a sponsor. It wouldnt happen. Racers rely on sponsors to keep their teams successful. There is always a sponsor or large financial backer. So keep buying your own stuff, and I will keep getting mine for free... It all depends on the person I guess...
justinb
01-29-2005, 11:49 PM
Where do SERIOUS race team and sponsorship deals come from?
Did someone buy a car and send proposals around, or did they start racing, start winning and get approached by sponsors wanting their name and product tied to the winning car?
Yes, they got the sponsors by participating and winning.
The GOOD sponsorship deals are offered by the sponsor. I've known people to get engineering and design support from sponsors (not just a vinyl sticker and discounted off-the-shelf componenet) in both racing and iasca. The sponsors approached them with the offer.
Of course, those were REAL sponsorship deals in competition... not people shining up their cars for a weekend of 'extreme parking' at a car show hoping to get the most pictures of skanky 'import models' bent over theor hoods.

When I feel like going super fast on back country roads, thats why I have my crotch rocket. And when I feel like cruising around, thats what I have my cruiser for. It all depends on what you are into. You obviously arent into showing. And you obviously have a bug up your ___ about sponsors and people that show their cars... So have a good time without your sponsors, and I will have a good time with mine...

Sponsorship discussions are always so funny. "I dont want to go to car show, etc. etc. but i want this and that."
First off, if someone has to ask what a sponsorship is and what it takes to get one, you have no business in go forth with it. A sponsorship takes a passionate individual to be willing work with the company in representing them as they would if they worked for the company. If you are asking for free goods or even at a discount, companies do not just give products out and say be on your way? They want to know whats in it for them.
If you dont like going to shows to represent a company, then dont ask for a sponsorship. If you just want to be a freeloader and get products for free and not live up to your end of the bargin. Then dont bother, as you will ruin it for the people that are serious about shows and building a nice project car. Companies are doing less and less sponsorships because they keep getting burned by freeloading individuals.

Basically what I think this comes down to is that people think that by paying $80 to whomever they will be hooked up with sponsorships while the people selling these services labor under the assumption that all they're being paid to do is create a dossier on a car and its owner.
In my observations, this misconception is deliberately fostered by the people selling these services in order to trick people into paying them for something they could do themselves.

you are absolutely right. People could do this themselves. But they DONT. do you have any idea how many people ask me all the time how to do the proposal.

Actually its NOT a scam. I came right out and said that there is no guarentee on anybody getting sponsored. All proposals come down to when you send them out and how much publicity you can give the company. Alot of times, marketing budgets for companies are filled by the beginning of January. So then you have to wait for the following year. All I said was that for 80 bucks, I can give a proposal setup that I know works. I will not do it for anyone. If someone tells me that they want me to do a proposal but they havent dropped a dime into their car and they are only planning on attending one show this season, then of course, they arent going to get sponsored. And I will not take anyones money that I dont think has a very good chance of being sponsored. But if someone asks me to do their proposal for them and they have dropped a good amount of things into their car and they are going to attend alot of shows, then yes, they have a good chance, and I will do it for them. Basically, I have been getting sponsorships since 1998. I know what works and what doesnt. I thought I might be able to make a quick buck making up proposals. I guess I was wrong. Thats all. I didnt do it to offend anyone or get people all ____ed off and have them freaking out about whats right and whats wrong. I just see all these people going to places like carsponsorships.com (which I did) spending 90 bucks and getting a sponsorship to a vinyl company. Who wants vinyl anyways?? But I am not trying to scam anyone. I am not a newbie on here and I am the organizer of the CT meet on February 20th. I am not a single post person jumping on here to steal peoples money. I wouldnt have done the proposals for anyone and I NEVER guarenteed anyone that they will be sponsored. So how can it be a scam if everyone knows up front there is no guarentee???

I didn't get that feeling from his offer. He is not claiming to provide a public service, but rather a private transaction.
If someone out there likes having fun and showing/racing his car, and doesn't want to build a portfolio and write proposals for himself, maybe he thinks its worth spending some money to have someone else do it. It's a service for people who are interested in aquiring sponsorships, one that might reduce some stress for someone.

So now that you cant defend your scam idea anymore, you jump into me being a sponsor of the site. No..Actually I am NOT a sponsor of the site. And yes, I did choose to just promote my business without being a sponsor. So if you have a problem with it, become a moderator and close the thread... O wait I forgot, you wanted the thread to remain open after I asked for it to be closed. So now figure out what you really want and take care of it or stop trying to start trouble. When I become a sponsor (which I am going to be doing very shortly) then maybe you will be happy. And actually me being a sponsor of the site would be me sponsoring the site, not the site sponsoring me. So I cant secure said "sponsorship" from the site. And again, elaborate on why what I am doing is a scam. Making it a scam would be some sort of false advertising which I have stated a million times I havent done. At no time was there a guarentee issued. So elaborate...I am sure everyone wants to hear it.

Basically, the people who have any clue how sponsorships work would have no need for you.
The people who have taken the time to build sponsorship-worthy vehicles (good sponsorship-worthy, anyway) would have no need for you or your 'services'.
This basically leaves the clueless and not sponsorship-worthy as your target market.
You're basically preying on kids who don't know any better. While not guaranteeing sponsorship you certainly imply that there is a much greater chance of obtaining one with you than without you.
I'm also curious how you claim to be an expert at this. According to your sig, one of your sponsors has an application right on their page, another has no website yet. So basically, for $80 someone may hope to get a Battery and some Mother's wax with all your expertise? Wow. That sounds worht it.

Hey man, whatever makes you happy. I am not preying on anyone. If I dont get anyone to do this, I will be fine with that. I dont care. People that do not know how to do a proposal are better off getting one from me or someone else who has done it before. Its about experience. Its the same with anything. You are right, one of my sponsors does have an application right on their page. Fill it out and see how far you get without a proposal genius. You are one of the people that know nothing about getting a sponsorship. As far as the sponsor without the website. Try www.manhonda.com That is what their site is under while Manchestermotorsports is being REBUILT. You truly are something else. You wait for my every response to try to find something to tear into about. And as far as what I got from these companies, ABS dynamics has given me an ABS 4pc lip kit, carbon fenders, and their carbon lip kit for nothing. Optima has given me TWO red top batteries for nothing, Manchester Motorsports has given me my dc header and dc strut bar for nothing and Mothers gives me a case of everything in their catalog for nothing. So yea, for 80 bucks, I think thats worth it.

Judging by what you have already, you are probably a good candidate for a sponsorship depending on the events you plan on attending and any possible magazine coverage or even internet coverage you could get from those events. If you plan on attending a good number of events, you shouldnt have a problem getting sponsorships wether they are partial or full. You basically want your proposal to be laid out like this:
1. info about yourself
2. info about the vehicle you are working on
3. current modifications
4. future modifications
5. Shows/coverage that you will be going to with dates
6. *MOST IMPORTANT* What you can do for the company
7. Current Sponsors
8.Photos

Yea...Thats what hurts alot of people is not being able to show. Thats what the companies want to see. You have to show them that you can get their name out there and represent their product well at different levels. Even if you only went to a show a month and you could document that and send them pictures of your vehicle with their logo on it from the shows, thats what they want to hear and see. That falls into the "what you can do for the company" section....

Just to let everyone know, Stuart hooked me up with a proposal for free just to prove that he's not scamming anybody. I started sending proposals out yesterday (was waiting to get my Goldlines in) and today I heard back from K&N, Borla, Audibahn and Mothers.
I got sponsored by K&N, Borla and Audiobahn sent me sponsorship forms so they could get more info and I got turned down by Mothers (said they had too many in my area). That was just in one day (and a Friday to boot). I can't wait to see what happens next week.
As soon as I fax in the contract and tell them what color Typhoon I want, K&N will be sending me one. :clap: :clap:

I was another sucker to carsponsorships...Just today actually, i never thought about checking the forum about it... :doh: So, looks like i get vouchers and give them $89.00. :eyebrow: Well, could be worse i suppose? I guess when they mail me the info, i will trash it and sell my vouchers...I don't need any more decals.. :tap:

Autoaccessorystore.com has also sponsored me and I have had some companies offer me partial sponsorships. My Typhoon should be here next week and hopefully the week after that I will be getting the stuff from autoaccessorystore.com.
I will keep updating my progress on this thread.

They need to post a general warning at the top of the main page on here.
That company screws so many people.

I really don't understand what justinb's problem is. People pay to have lots of things done for them. Some people pay to have resumes written, some pay to have their taxes done. It doesn't guarantee you a job or a better tax return. You are paying for the convenience of having someone else do it for you, and hopefully they have some insight you don't have. If lastlookcustoms was saying "Give me $80 and I'll get you sponsored," then I could see having a problem with what he's doing.

Any help is always good in my book. I just sold my Crx drag car that was sponsored by STR and it was great. Now I have to start over with my stock Xb. I think what your doing is good for people who don't have the time or knowledge to put together a good proposal.
