Why should your company take advantage of this opportunity?
My successful sponsorship program has been welcomed by the following companies and representatives listed below. I have worked one-on-one with each of these companies and they each have offered their product discounts/incentives to support Thede Riders.
Terri at PowerMadd commended Thede Riders at the recent GBC Heartland Challenge event stating that Thede Riders has brought considerable business to their company and how they decided to attend the Heartland Challenge race specifically because of the number of Thede Riders that would be attending.
Each company has made use of the Thede Rider database I provided to them and each had a half to full page advertisement in the 47 page Thede Rider sponsorship packet sent out in March 2010.
A complete Thede Rider database will be issued to your company upon acceptance in early March 2011 and will be updated in mid-July 2011. This database can be used to send out promotions by email and/or snail mail to further help sell and promote your product.
