Not cool to contact sponsors

[boomer]

You need to harden up ya big fookin puff..


My dad always said.. ''If you never ask, then you'll never get!' You don't have an exclusive arrangement with LG, granted you have a good relationship; but nothing anywhere stops people asking the question. ( and you of all people know, that in business anything is fair...?! )


Any one who thinks otherwise is delusional...

Example and case in point; How did Sloan come on board after you?


you can get ya nickers in a twist over some real simple shit sometimes...

Ha ha boomer at it again

Hey boomer, perhaps I should NOT contact LG again, to say HI or thanks for promoting our sport

And thet really do need some one who will reply to Purchase requests on a web site they the team use, 1 rider did, but nothing else, SO NO sale for LG from me

PS, perhaps all riders should never contact Suzuki or Yamaha either untill they have NO riders Strooth

Eddy, its each to there own man, so if a rider wants to send a one page bullshit approach, just read laugh, and throw it out mate

Good work sloan for your sponsors

[boomer]

Eddie can just about fkin dress himself never mind understand how to work a post, on a web site, on a computer...



fark...

I think you shouldnt worry if someone sends a 1 page email asking LG will decide weather or not.

Unless you are threatned by this approach I would not care,

You should be happy you started something and people are recognising the company and wanting to be a part of it.

Maybe the fact LG sponsors a superbike race etc people think of LG must be really keen on this racing scene how bout I contact them to help me?????

I think people have not ment mellice by this and are just thinking what they see is what you get?

[crazefox]

How does one go about getting sponsorship?
Do you have to prove your skills on and off the track and then wait for someone to approach you, or is getting off your date and asking around, putting it out there that you'd like to go further with some help in return for advertising, promotion etc frowned upon?
Just asking. I thought taking a bit of initiative and showing that you're committed by trying to help yourself would be a good thing.

just get crazefox on the piss and tell him you need your bike painted

It is not OK, to hit them up for sponsorship, it is OK to simply ask who managed the team, and approach them to see what the go is.

Sending an email expressing that you want to race for them, how much will ya give me, is fuckin rank.

[Robert Taylor]

Nothing wrong with a company sponsoring more than one person - LG are already sponsoring Sloan Frost aswell as Eddie.

What you need to realise is the Eddie got the sponsorship through personal contacts and networking which took a lot of time. I know for a fact there was a lot more involved in him getting sponsored than just going out and asking for money.

I think it is arrogant to go up and ask someone elses sponsors for support, especially when you have no previous relationship with them, or perhaps even the people they are already supporting - especially when you know see the amount of financial support that is being given.

Have a spine and some balls at least to stand up on your own feet before you go trying to knock people down from what they've worked for. MORE sponsors is what he sport needs - go out and get your own.

Very well said, what really struck a chord with me is that very often people ( like Eddie ) do an enormous amount of groundwork and I empathise with him being protective of that. It also always amazes me that when there is a bit of sponsorship money around all of a sudden there are lots of ''hangers on''. If you want it work for it.

What a stupid suggestion, Clearly if one chooses to approach a sponsor via a poorly conceived email then the chances of success are limited.

There are no rules around this.

The potential sponsor should take it as a compliment that their current sponsorship in the sport has generated interest in the brand.

Now where is that email address for LG!

[Creeping Death]

Guys /Girls... please look elsewhere for your sponsorship.. it really is not cool to knock on a current sponsors door, especially if they already sponsor someone else.. for the record your proposals get forwarded to me...
Its a wide world out there.. be creative.. and not a plonker!!

Bet if feels like strangers askin ya missus out on a date huh?

And hoping like heeeeell she say's NO!

[SARGE]

Sorry Eddie I wont do it again, I can only hope that sony or panasonic take up my cause to attend the international porn convention

yea .. Microsoft is already sponsoring SpankMe

[Robert Taylor]

Adding to this, Eddie and Sloan have worked hard for where they are and the sponsorship money they have bought with them from LG enriches the sport.
It is my personal resolve that I always deal with people that deal with me and who are pro-active. Im well enough subscribed at present with whiteware and entertainment gear but as it needs upgrading I will be purchasing off these guys. Even if I could get a better price elsewhere that is not the point, you deal with those who deal with you and you purchase from Kiwis.
