Sponsonship Packs?

[RossiT]

Hello

Just wondering if anyone can help, I'm looking to start racing next year, I pretty much have my budget sorted but it would be great to get some sponsors interested in exchange for the Company logo on the bike, leathers etc.

Does anyone have a sponsorship pack they have used when sending details off to prospective sponsors?

Any help would be really appreciated, I don't really know where to begin with this.

Thanks

Erm, i think you'll probably find that the people who do have sponsorship packs, that they have created, they are not going to just give away their ideas!

No doubt they'd have been knocked back many many times before actually managing to secure sponsorship in any form after fine tuning their package. Why should they just hand over all their hard work??

You say its your first year racing, do you have;
any experience?
any history? wins/championships etc

If no to either of those questions then you're going to have a very tough time gaining any kind of sponsorship - sorry if it sounds harsh but you'd be best off using your own money, getting decent results and then trying for help.

Sound advice from AW Racing. Sponsorship is difficult enough to get in the first place. When you factor in the current economic climate, it just makes it that much harder to obtain.

the only way a racer will get a sponsor in the first year of motorsport is if they are female and good looking.

That old chestnut...

Sponsorship, almost non existant, unless you very lucky. your best approach is to ask friends, with businesses, local firms that you use, and can exchange something on the bike for parts, services rather than cash.

I have one customer who bungs me a set of tyres every now and then, and I cut their invoice down by some corresponding hours..etc.

work on funding the racing 100% yourself and anything tht does come in is a bouns. if you cant afford it that way your in trouble.
