2011 sponsorship

[Chuck_g]

Chuck I believed that you agreed to carry TDP stickers 4 off on you car for a season in return for money off your ecu and mapping. Did you have the correct numbers of stickers on it for the year ?

Robbie

I did, 2 under the windows n 2 on the rear bumper which got mangleated..........

I have NO problem promoting you and the lads because of the level of work ye provide, if you want to throw a few stickers on the bmw this year, no problem at all.

Hi Chuck, I am not complaining but its just an example of what happens and the sponsors some times dont get the coverage as agreed form the competitors. Irish sport still dose not understand sponsorship like in other countries.

Where is the bitching ?

People think its simple some company give you money you put stickers on a car and that it. Its far more complicated than that.

Course it is complicated, doesn't take a genius to figure that... Sponsorship in PD is a joke IMO...Lads that deserve it dont get it.

But is all this too'n and fro'n helpin Martins case? I think not....All looks a bit bitter to me.

People who can do never get good sponsors in this county as bull shit usually wins through.

Martin has the best media machine of all the drifters in the country already. He has been on speed hunters more than any other driver so if he really want a sponsor he need to collate all past results and media coverage into viewing statistics and go see some companies that are still making a profit.

Bingo.


It's sad but true. Always has been, always will be.

To be honest I pretty much agree with everything Robbie has said. Plus, with Prodrift not being a Motorsport Ireland recognised series this is going to have implications when it comes to other potential sponsors who help out in the Motorsport circles. Then the whole economy thing too, its just going to make it even harder to get money. (im not saying the economy alone actually makes it worse, but that its an excuse for a company to say no even if they didn't need to)

I dont know how it is now, but when I was sponsorship hunting there were always tricks to raising money, but it was never easy. And outside of this communtiy Prodrift doesn't get a whole pile of media coverage. I've never seen mention of it on the likes of RPM or in national newspapers etc.

I made my point on FB to Martin as to what I believe he should do, to at least buy him some time now. I hope he gets to drift this year either way, with the cars, drivers and the up and comming guys it should be a great year, would be the topping to see him and his car out there.

Kool, well i always make sure any of my sponsors get a mention with name drops etc no matter how small they are. I also thank them in any build threads or anything and at the end of season. I agree, you need to back the ppl that in turn back you.

On topic of martins dilemma, could you not try pull off round 1 Martin, show your skills, win some silverwear and then hunt for sponsors........

I know im no where near Pro standard but thats kinda my plan, i have my entries paid for for the year but if i can make any headway with a more reliable car i hope to get some more ppl on board by showing them what i can do. On the flip side i cud go threw the wall in Ennis n fuck up in true me style

I do hope to see you out, entertainment in a can.
