Mag Sponsorship

[Clockwork_Orange]

That's funny...I never knew Dynasty had there own personal trainers. Then again every athlete pro or not always follows a workout regimen of some sort.

[Lohman446]

I personally think we have screwed up pro sponsorhisp in paintball. Why does anyone have to sponsor a whole team, why not just the most charismatic (I did not say best) players? I mean, did Nike sponsor the Chicago Bulls, or Michael Jordan (there I'm dated now)?

[Python14]

Because, it's better to get the whole team.....look at Aftershock, everyone on that team uses what they want and I can only remember what a few players are using, or were using, or used when they played on 'shock(MANNY RULES THE SCHOOL!). Particularly on 'shock actually is another thing, all the players are good and really overshadow their equipment. Who knows what Bryon Benini uses, because he owns anyway....Conversly, look at at Trauma. I could name maybe one or two people on that team because there really aren't any shiners on there. No one sticks out. But what I do know is they use matrixes...because the whole team does.

Does that make sense? If you sponsor one player, you are only getting seen by spectators and camera men for 1/10 of the time in X-ball, but if you sponsor a whole team, you get seen by spectators and camera men for 1/2 the time....better deal.

Storm UK does this. They play them in the melenium series, and they kick butt as well..... they have beeten dynasty on numerous occasions

My guess is the excessive media fanfare would lead to excessive demands of AGD's production capabilities. As far you and i know AGD is filthy stinkin' rich, or dirt poor, geez its not like any yall do the acounting/market anlysis for AGD. Unless, that is you do the books for AGD. And as far as idividual sponsorships, you can chalk it up to the fact that it is a team sport. Dudes like Lasoya or Ollie Lang or whomever get the press cuase they are charismatic, they are "marketable" and theyre goo pballers, i guess...

[Hucklbry]

You also have to think about the fact that AGD is doing so good right now that they cannot keep up with demand. Right now there is a six+ month waiting period for the X-Mag. The demand for mags is there, why spend more money to bring more demand when the supply isn't there. That could actually work against AGD. IMO, Tom and AGD should keep doing what they are doing; putting out an awesome product and let the players (novice-pro, rec player) speak intelligently for the company.

AGD does not invest in Pro teams because all of their money goes into testing/designing new products...

[Bolter]

Er we are a Pro team, we play the likes of the top Pro teams. We came 4th in Amsterdam Millenium series 2003 Pro division behind Dynasty, Ton ton, Ugly Ducklings and we all shoot and are sponsored with X-mags. In fact we have Storm edition X-mags.

We promote these markers as much as we can when we are at these events because we feel that they are the very best you can get, and to have a sponsorship deal is the best thing in the world!! Cheaper too.

We hope to kick some serious butt in all future events.

Chuff chuff.

I'm a bit bored of threads entitled "why don't AGD advertise their products..." or "why is there no sponsored Pro teams" because if you look around you may find you spoke too soon.

I agree

Anyway, AGD- how bout giving me an Xmag and letting me cap some fools? Should bring sales up

[A to the G-Dizzle]

IMO, Am and Pro don't have enough interaction in big tournaments. I would definatly be up for more games against teams like dynasty, shock, and ironmen.
