Hello all,

I once read a great statistic/article that broke down the total number of views that a boat/vehicle sponsorship could provide.  I have searched my fingers off on this site and rest of the internet.  If anyone had a link to that article and they wouldn't mind sharing, I sure would appreciate it!

Thanks for the help!  

Thomas

Thomas,

The major problem facing everyone who wants to get sponsored is the economy.

You will now face an additional challenge as many businesses will pull back from donations and sponsorships.

The non-profits will take a big hit next year (2009) followed by manufacturing and retail.

So not only do you and all the other guys have to continue to keep seeking sponsor money, but you will now have to sell yourself strongly and tell your prospective sponsor why you can help him/her bring in more sales to their company.

2009 should be very interesting regarding sponsors, both current and prospective.

Please keep us posted.

Merry Christmas  

Well I can say this after having my first truck wrapped and had it on for about a year, more people knew me by my truck than anything else.  My new truck is in the design stages.  It definetly works.  The company that is doing it saw tremendous benefits from the first one and that is why they are doing the second one too!  It does work but it has to be "eye catching".
