Sponsoship Seminar Survey

From Gary Dominguez

That time of year has rolled around again, and now we all need to start thinking about attracting new "partners" for your racing programs. In years past we have put on a seminar to help racers attract and keep good sponsors. Unfortunately last year there were too many irons in the fire to have this seminar. This year with the economy in the condition it is in, it may be more imperative to have one. I am conducting a survey to see if there is an interest in having such a seminar. To take this brief survey, visit my website at
sponsorship survey

Once you are there, click on the "sponsorship seminar" button on the left side to take the survey.

I would also like to get feedback from previous attendees on how much benefit they received from the class.

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Gary

Taking a hard look at sponsorship opportunities is imperative no matter what class you race. Regardless of the economic climate, it never hurts to ask. Setting yourself out from the pack helps.

While there are always pleas for promoters to help foot the bill through increases in purse, there are also other sources of "other people's money" than the guy running the race or the sanctioning body cutting costs. Getting and keeping sponsorship is often overlooked.
