I ask because I suck at it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Let's come up with a couple different level of sponsorships and get some cash. Remember all the vendors who are supplying goodies count, too-all their logos will be on the shirt back. |

Who did that for the SMOG guys? I'm not good at asking for $$ either, but I am willing to do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is what Tom's Pm said.
QUOTE Hi Garold, We told sponsors that their name on the event shirt was $100. To sponsor the trophies we asked for $250. Both of these figures worked out good. We had asked for $300 to sponsor the mugs but they ended up costing more than that - about $380 or so. This was made up in registration fees. I got the amounts by looking at what the west coast guys were using for their WCC. As it turns out, Stoddards and the landscaper guy (I don't remember his name) gave $500 towards the event shirts so we gave their logos more space on the shirts. Hope that helps and good luck. See you at the FFC, Tom |

So how much lead time do we have before we have to get shirt orders in?
Do you think HPH would be a sponsor? I can call Brad Mayeur, what about stoddard? Who else should be called? Tweeks (Mid America) Voderman in Ft wayne? Pelican GPR ? ? ? |

I'm getting a sample from a local shirt guy. When I do I'll find out his turnaround time.
Sponsors? Let's figure out what the expenses will be then go from there. I'll start a new thread called expenses. |

I got this email tonite from Bill Maulding:
QUOTE seanery, GRM1964 has sent you this email from http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php. Sean; I am interested in being a sponsor for your event in Nashville, IN. I was thinking about some cash, that you could give away or use for whatever you think. You set up for PayPal by chance? I was thinking like $40, will that work? I sell a few used 914 parts so I was thinking if it was OK with you, just to put my name on the shirt and my e-mail address. Let me know and I will get you some money. If you aren't set up for PayPal, send me your address and I will send you a postal money order. Thanks for hosting a great event,I just bought a shirt last year because I couldn't make it, but I look forward to meeting you in October this year! Bill Maulding Used 914 Parts billmaulding@gcctv.com I sent him a reply telling him that we are working on packages and will get back with him as soon as we know what we are doing. |

This is a commisson job isn't it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
OK I guess I will do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So do we have price ranges we want to stick with. What do the sponsors get for doing this? Logo on the shirt &???? Lets put together a list of people that we would like to be sponsors. Are we asking sponsors for $$ & a door prize donation?? I will be in Phoenix next week tues - thurs so I could start making calls Friday. What is the deadline on the shirt order? Need to know the cut off date to ensure all sponsors logo's make it on the shirt. |

All of the vendors who have donated product will get their logo on the shirtback.
I guess maybe we should sell: (I'm thinking out loud and just woke up so bear with me) Title Sponsorship: $300 - $500 gets their name on the front of the shirt and on the web page Associate Sponsorship: $200 gets their name bigger on the back of the shirt and smaller on web page Junior Sponsorship: $100 gets their name on the back of the shirt with the vendors does this sound good? We could offer: 1 - Title Sponsorship 3 - Associate Sponsorships 5 - Junior Sponsorships Can you sell those? We can pass out any literature, stickers, etc...that they send us |

we didn't get enough $ for the WCC.
The rally shields were $100 per spot. then there were a couple other $100 - $150 deals. the shields would have sold for $300 each I believe. If my $ amounts seem high, we can go lower. I was just throwing $ amounts out. |

I don't know if that seems high or not, that's why I'm asking.

As I contact sponsors what address should they send payment to if NOT using paypal? To whom should the payment be made out to? What Paypal address should they use? Is there a receipt that will be sent back to sponsors for record of sponsorship / advertising? Also would they receive a shirt as part of a thank you for being a sponsor?
that's all for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

a few more questions....
On the shirt, the back shows a Presenting sponsor, event, associate, and door prize sponsor. What's the difference between a Presenting & Event sponsor? also what size would the logo's be for each sponsor based on the different "levels" of sponsorship we are asking for. I just want to have enough info so when I call and I can say.... "Thank you for your sponsorship, for this you will get X size logo display on the shirt along with XYZ passed out in goodie bags. You know whatever else they want to give as items (stickers, pens ect..)" Should I be asking people that have already donated door prize items if they would give some $$$ also? I also need help with a list of people / places to call to ask for sponsorship. Any places local in Columbus / Nashville area I should call? |

Presenting Sponsor:
Logo on all awards and anywhere the Fall Foliage Logo is used Logo (sized to fit) in a 3.9" x 2.2" box on front of shirt Logo (sized to fit) in a 6.1" x 3.5" box on back of shirt 2 XL Event T-Shirts 2 L Event T-Shirts Event Sponsor: Logo 3.5" x 2" on back of shirt 2 Event T-Shirts Associate Sponsor: Logo 2.8" x 1.6" on back of shirt 1 Event T-Shirt Door Prize Sponsors: Logo 2" x 1.2" on back of shirt 1 Event T-Shirt The only real difference between the Associate & Event Sponsor is how much $ it cost. If you feel that is too many levels (and it very well may be) then maybe we should consolidate the two levels and ask $125-150 and call it Event Sponsor. If so, we can sell up to 6 of those. (that's probably the best way to go, huh?) As far as a receipt. I'm sure we can make something up if it's necessary. Money can be sent to either your address or mine. I would like to nominate 9R Parts to receive either the Associate or Event Sponsorship level because of his involvement organizing this event. Is that ok with everyone? |
