Who did that for the SMOG guys? I'm not good at asking for $$ either, but I am willing to do it.
I think Tom did it.
My sister has always been good at asking daddy for anything she wanted....and she almost always got it to, come to think of it.... 
Just FYI I sent Tom a PM asking a few questions about sponsors.
This is what Tom's Pm said.

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.

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!

Who wants to be the sponsor-getter-guy?
Garold, Dan, Doug, Mark?
I know Garold really wants to do it!

Sounds like Garold is on top of it already! 
This is a commisson job isn't it 
OK I guess I will do it
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

Sounds good to me, just wondering if you know what the guys got at the WWC from their sponsors?
QUOTE
Can you sell those?
don't, I will try.
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
that's all for now
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?

Craig Laughlin (Camp914/boxter) may be good for some cash.
15 spots for door prize sponsors

I've heard it both way about Doc & Cy? Don't know which to believe. Their webpage doesn't load right now.
I'll leave Bill Maulding up to you.

Well then I am going to contact Bill. When I get back home from Phoenix I am going to call Stoddard, Patrick Motorsport, Kwiklift, Mid America (tweeks), also looking for any Beb & Breakfast type places down there that would like to sponsor.
I could use somemore suggestions....Hint hint.....

Bill Maulding emailed me again last nigt. I told him that Garold was handling it and we didn't need his stinkin' money. No, I told him you were traveling and it may be early next week before he was contacted.
Perry Kiehl is another good guy to ask.
He does 914 repair and conversion work as well as makes the "Umbrella" cover for our cars.
Perry is a real nice guy and does quality work.
His screen name is 9146986.

Garold/Doug,
I don't know if it will help, but you may want to show the potential sponsors the art with the "Title Sponsor Here" stuff to show the coverage they would get.
1. Large Logo on shirt front
2. Medium Size Logo on shirt back
3. Logo on name tag
4. Logo on awards (?) need to doublecheck with Mark on that one.

No more road trips for me for a while so I will start hitting the $$ Sponsorship calls hard & heavy tomorrow.

He was asking me questions about our hats and logo. His companies are car related and do things like GT40 North America. They are looking to do a similar thing with the 914. They buy a chasis and do full 100% restorations to 914-6 and 914-8 specs. $50k + They think they have a good plan to sell cars here and overseas. They may bring a car or two to the FFC and are interested in sponsorships (well, I asked him if he would be). I told you I was bad about asking for $, so I told him you would call him sorry. I told him we were looking for a title and associates sponsors still. I don't think money will scare him. He's a nice guy, too. The GT40 biz is run our of Westfield, IN just north of Indy.
OK, so will you call him?

Damn Sean, screw the call. This might just necessitate a personal visit! Thats a pretty awesome setup according to their website. I can't believe I'd never heard of them!
How did he come across our hats and logo? Does he own a 914 already? Is he a member of 914club? I'll volunteer to personally deliver and return whichever car he'd like to have present at the FFC, 914 or not.

Looks like we have a presenting sponsor
I just need to email Jeff the info, which I will do after this post. Sean, you are very correct Jeff is a very nice person. Easy to talk with and very excited about the 914club and our events. The 9146 car that they are offering sounds excellent. I can't wait to see it.
Lets wait till we have money in hand before we say anthing just yet.
I don't know about you guys but I'm stoked
