Got a local sponsor today.. Now they want to wrap our boat with there Company name..My partner is excied to get it done...The Company thinks it will be great advertisement..Just to see it going across the lake.. 8-) 8-)

Congratulations.  If you don't mind me asking, what are you getting in return for a fully wrapped boat?

  congrats

Who's paying to have this done  ?

They are a customer of mine at my Reg Job..We are getting nothing in return but having the boat wrap..We fish alot on lake conroe were one of his stores are located..The company is paying for the wrap, Which one of my other sponsors wraps cars and boats and gave us an awesome deal.... 8-) 8-)

We are getting nothing in return but having the boat wrap.

Really? Why?

Free advertising?    :-?  :

Other companies will be lining up at your door soon. Are you doing it for intimidation or something?

??  You think?  I don't.  Nothing personal and not a slam as you obviously have no problem with this scenario, but most people would associate someone wrapping their boat in another companies name for free as a "wanna be".  Usually not a trait sought out when handing out real sponsorships.  JMO

As far as intimidation, I'd be much more intimidated by someone who's sponsorships came from winning tournaments and moving product through endorsement.

the Co. is already one of my sponsors for my tournaments that i put on They pay me for advertisement on my web pages and at each tournament..They asked me to put the wrap on the boat..They where going to get a billboard on the side of the road..They would certainly get more looks on our boat going down the road and at every tournament i fish than one spot on the road...My other sponsor is starting to wrap boats and wanted some exposer for is company...I didnt pay for the wrap..Its a win win situtation for everyone...I DONT EXPECT ANYTHING..A boat doesnt win tournaments. The Angler does..

You're original post indicates that it is a brand new sponsorship, not someone that you have an existing business relationship with.

On here, and in this section especially, you may as well expect people to call your bluff.  

Like I said, your original post leads a reader to think that you JUST got a sponsor (today).

As a fishing sponsor it is new, but i have known them several years, as my company i work for makes delivery's to them not anything to to do with fishing...

That's not a sponsor, that's someone you are doing a favor for, has nothing to do with sponsorship.  If you should pursue real sponsorships in the future, don't mention this, it won't reflect well.  

They are  Both sponsors of my tournament trail that i am a director of..And the one  sponsor.. is wrapping the boat For both Company's as Advertisement.. I think i know how to get sponsors .Dont be Hate n... look at my sig

No one's hating, just trying to help you avoid looking like "that guy", especially being an ABA director.  Input is given for you to take or discard, it's what this section is about.

We all need to remember that being sponsored all balances on how the public perceives you and the product you are representing.  That's why this section is so helpful,....we ARE the public.  Want to know what they'll think?  Ask US,...we ARE them.

I see your sig., but I don't see your point.  I've Internationally represented for over 40 companies from Visa and Subaru all way to Snapple and Power Bar, doesn't mean I'm not open to learn.

And that's exactly how you came off.

Ok..Sorry for wanting to be excited about my NEW SPONSOR.. see yea..
