Looking for Sponsors for Huge Focus Event...

502 Views 9 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  SCARECROW
I am looking for several sponsors to help out with large Focus event to take place in Spring '04. This event will take place over a 2-3 day weekend next spring in Elkhart, Indiana. Exactly what event occur is still up in the air and will depend on what participation I can get either financially or through prize donations.

All sponsors will have their names on t-shirts to be made for the event. Please contact me for further information through PM or e-mail.

Just in case there is any doubt, There WILL be an event. It is only a matter of details.

There should be 50-75+ cars there. I predict it will be bigger than Focus on the Beach '03 even.


Don't I have anyone who wants to take advantege of this incredible opportunity?

Please don't take this the wrong way, as you may already know all of this. But if not, just some words of advice.

You will NEVER get any serious sponsorship by just mentioning it on a message board. Aftermarket companies hear about "huge events with thousands of people" all the time. Why is this event going to be so big? What is special about it that would make companies want to invest in this? What kind of press are you expecting and/or have heard back from stating they will be there to cover the event? Who will be providing the event insurance? Please tell me its not just "a big G2G with lots of phat cars".

To put on these events, you need to make a serious financial investment out of your own pocket, often to even get people to look at you seriously. Expect to loose a good deal of money before it takes off and you can recover those expenses.

Businesses want to know what kind of return on investment they will be getting. Remember they're not charity organizations.

Talk to BUR_ZX3 about his Focus on the Beach experience. Its certainly not a walk in the park.

50-75 cars... that won't make it bigger than FX or FOTB.

SlickShoes is right.... you've got a long way to go before you get this.

EDIT: To add a little more, FOTB and FX are both established events that have annual tradition behind them. We have a history and a track record. Patience will pay off.... patience and hard work.
is there a thread on this GTG? you may want to get ron involved, since in his neck of the woods, kinda.

remember in the spring there are tons of events going on. so a march or arpil may be a better date aswell. if you need any assistance i'd be happy to help, and likely show up

I don't have a thread on this yet because I have to secure the go-cart tracknext week. So I don't know exactly what weekend it will be.

Thanks for your input guys. As far as the bigger than FOTB I was just going off of the group picture you had with 50+ cars in it. Sorry!

I dont think FOTB is going to be in AUG this year. Just going on a bit of scuttlebutt I heard, its gonna be in June.
Spring would be great! I saw a post a while back that there WASN'T going to be an FX-04 this year
I[d like to think I'm wrong or someone else is going to pick up the reins. Us right coasters need to keep pressure on the left coasters.
