What helped ‘sell the sizzle ‘ (Steakhouse analogy!) was that we wore CROCS before and after EVERY stage, had some give-aways, did an interview of two on how -genuinely - CROCS really were the most comfortable thing after feet stuck in riding shoes for +8 hours, AND supremely practical for showering, bike-wash park wear, muddy campsites, the list goes on! So we gave the sponsors a logical REASON to sponsor us, and gave them the coverage that helped sell more CROCS…. WE only placed top 105 & 106, 2 years running, (so not top 40!), but created enough hype (and laughter), to give our sponsors RETURN ON INVESTMENT. (ROI).

Theunis Pretorius Posted April 19 Share Hi Eric, I have the same issue, different problem. I'm seeking sponsorship for the ABSA Cape Epic 2025 and have one week to pay my entry. The difference is I'm 59 and never will be podium or close contestant. Shortend Multi Sponsor-1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
