    Posted: 05 September 2004 at 11:15pm

I just got a team going on, 5-man, and we need a sponsor. So far we got 2 back with a rasta angel, and a blue NYX trix, a mids with an e-bladed gx-3, and two front with a nasty shocker and a red vision shocker. We wanna get a sponsor but we dont know how to approach. Since i'm team captian i gatta come up with all of these huge tasks. I would like to know how to approach and what companies would be ebst to ask for sponsorships? Please help cause we need help!!

Thanx
Josh (Team Unkown)

Why would they waste their money on a rasta fly when a normal fly is fine?

Email companies asking for sponsorships...

Start doing good in tournaments so you have something under yer belt...Try to get sponsored by your local field for some exposure...Play in tournaments that are sponsored by people you would want to sponsor you...If you do good consistantly you can set up a meeting with them applying for a sponsorship

Nobody ever suspects the fun police!

Thats what you get when you have a new team (or almost a team) and have never actually played an event much less won any (or placed for that matter) and you want someone else to pay for your fun. I hear many companys just dish out the cash by the wheel barrel full to every Tom, **edited** & Harry that comes along .

Did that help OF?

start sending out emails and giving companies calls. It would probably be best to have experience, and maybe a team website to show your serious about this.
