RocknRolla Posted June 8, 2016 Share There has been a similar thread about sponsorship a while ago. If you want sponsorship, normally it means you have to work for it. Asking on the hub if some-one has a proposal for you, is kinda like copying your math homework before class. That being said. The following items you need to take into consideration: What kind of sponsorship do you require? Travel costs to and from the eventEntry feesaccomodationsupplementsmaintenance/mechanical packagespares Kit to ride in, obviously advertising your sponsor. What you also need to have in your proposal, is the potential exposure you may think your sponsor may receive during the event.If you are looking to podium, the exposure is always a lot better.If the event is televised you may want to mention that, however if you are a mid packer, chances of tv time is minimal, it's also very difficult to calculate ROI on such a sponsorship deal. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mulebar Posted June 8, 2016 Share Tip from an insider..... When submitting a proposal always bear in mind that sponsorship is about the sponsor not the team, athlete, event etc being sponsored. That should help you get the tone & content of your proposal right. Good luck VolkAdik, VeloRacer, Underachiever and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted June 8, 2016 Share If they are on social media its also good to punt them there. We mention all our sponsors when putting something on social media and then get the whole team to share/retweet. Also I presume you just want this for a once off? You guys just going to do the tour and that's it? They might prefer a bit more coverage.As to your proposal, I like to mention all the team members and their passed achievements. Mention future plans and how you are prepared to put their name out there. You must realise it wont be a charity donation, so they will more than likely want some or other ROI.

Pure Savage Posted June 8, 2016 Share Have a chat to PureSavage. You probably need to do what they do to create a ROI for the sponsors. (just dont premature blog like they do ) It takes a lot of time and effort to create any real ROI for sponsors. Race wins, especially locally do not really help. You need a social media base with ways to create AVE (Advertising value equivalent) greater than the money the sponsor is giving you. Tweets, news articles, facebook, events, blog, instagram (#Blessed) and youtube. In the summer season we can probably recover R20 000 rand a month for a sponsor in AVE. We managed to give Mitchum over 20 times their investment. The smallest amount of exposure you actually provide the sponsor is your kit while you ride funnily enough. Or you can just hit them with a begging bowl. raptor-22 and dirtypot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just dont premature blog like they do ) According to our blog we now won the TOGH amateur team competition thanks to that comment. Since there is no other listing online, its correct because it's on the internet. Patchelicious and VolkAdik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
