How To Market Your Racing Career To A Corporate Sponsor
Have you ever tried to promote a sponsor for your sports
career? Sports Marketing is a very competitive field.
Professional public relations firms charge thousands of dollars to
conduct a formal sports marketing campaign.
And there are
no guarantees!
You
can save a lot of time and money by doing the same PR
work yourself. Using the exact same promotional strategies and
marketing techniques to secure your own sponsorship.
Preparation and presentation makes all the difference.
Like they always say, "you only get one chance to make a good first impression,"
and in today's competitive marketplace it better be a
memorable impression, and one that sparks new ideas for
corporate advertising.
How you make your approach;
how you present yourself and your ideas to the advertising executives,
can mean the difference between a million dollar
sponsorship or just another one that's been rejected. Building
their trust in you, showcasing your talent and your
marketable image, then following through
with all the right documentation, you CAN seal
the deal.
The
"Sponsor Search" publication starts by showing
you how to build your business image. It gives you
a sample budget worksheet, so that you can determine
exactly how much sponsorship you need. From there,
it explains the demographic effects on a sport and how
to use that information in your presentation.
"Sponsor Search" recommends corporate contact strategies
to assist you in getting past a secretarial screening.
It teaches what to include in a marketing kit, aka media
kit, and how to follow up with a formal presentation
request.
One
of the top features of the "Sponsor Search" publication
is the sample marketing proposal. This is your
sales piece. It explains what to include in a
proposal that addresses any legal concerns a corporate
advertiser might have. And lastly, a sample formal
sponsor contract.
"Sponsor Search" is written for motor sports
enthusiasts, but can be used in any type of sport that
requires competitor sponsorship. Written by Shari
Minter, a successful NASCAR competitor in the
90's. Shari started with nothing but a dream.
She gained
the support of a car owner, a crew chief and one
crewman. From there, she eventually secured
a primary sponsor for her efforts. Before her
racing career ended, she owned 2 cars, a hauler and
enclosed transporter, and had a full-time team.
This publication has sold for as
much as $49.95 in print, and has been used successfully
in all forms of racing competition including
NASCAR, ARCA, Hooters Pro Cup, ASA, CART, and many
go-kart associations. Everything you need to conduct
your own sponsor campaign is described in detail. All
you need to do is modify the documentation to fit your
particular needs. It takes the guess work out of
how to find a sponsor.
