Marker Sponsorship Question

[Onryou]

Mostly directed at Mr. Kaye, but anyone who knows can lend me their 2 cents.

If a team were to land a Marker Sponsorship, what kind of price could they expect from their sponsor? Would they have to pay factory price, dealer price or MSRP for their markers? Or would it be possible for a non-factory team to get the markers free?

I'm sure it would depend on the marker company and their sponsorship plans.

And how good the team applying for sponsorship is.

I can tell you from dealing with a team that had a marker sponsorship, and also most sponsorships in general. At the local level and even lower national level exsposure, you will only get dealer price, maybe alittle less.

Once you start winnning and getting exsposure, then the team has alittle more to negotiate with.

It really varies. On the low end, they'll get a percentage off maybe 5-10% off. Some may get dealer prices. And others could get below dealer or free, and possibly early pre-release markers.

yah, for your local/regional tourny team, dealer price is about as much as you can expect from a marker sponsorship. if you tear up the area, you might get some more. but 99% of local and regional teams don't get sponsored by WDP or National for markers, their home FIELD gives them the discount.

Sponsorships are pretty rare from the big comapnies for a local team. FIELDS will sponsor them, but rarely does a big company spend money on a small time team.
