anybody?

 

What kind of sponsorships does he want ?

Show or Go ?

 

Both accually but mostly go

 

how does sponsorship work exactly?

 

you go to a local shop. One you've probably already spent alot of money at. Ask them for a partial sponsership where they give you everything at wholesale. NO markup. You put a sticker on your window from that place, and enjoy paying wholesale.

Warehouse sponserhips are hard to come by. You'd have to directly approach the company you're trying to get (wings west or who ever). They usually dont anser emails. And the problem with though, is while you MAY get it free, all you'd get it their products.

It helps if you have a list of products you have. And a list of product you want. With complete prices and vendors. That way when the shop see how much you've bought (from them) and how much you still want to buy, they wont mind reducing the price for you. Also, if the shop does install, free install could be worked into the deal.

 

Try checking out some websites of companies you might want to get sponsored by. I remember rksport has an online application, but unfortunately they only accept them from December through April, but here's an example of what they are looking for:
