do you think AGD should sponsor a pro paintball team?

[ToTalChaos]

A pro sponsorship might work, but a good solid plan in the amateur, novice and rec ball areas would get you a more solid footing ...

"Win on Race Day, Sell on Monday...."

What would be great is (I know I am dreaming) to have a pro team step up and use the AGD markers because they are good,not because of what the team gets in return..... I know these days are gone and by a players standpointit is a good thing, however brand loyalty should mean somthing

AGD

Are you being serious or just messing around?

[teamkamakazee]

im telling you start small with the warp feeds and work up from there

i kinda like mags bein on the low.

everytime i go play, i just focus on kickin ***
and taking names. i let the mag do all the talkin.
its nice to see people goin "oooh..." "ahhh..."
over the xmag. its sexy, sleek and somethin fierce.
theyre not sure how to take it. their angels and
timmy's and matrix's and shoeboxes are gettin schooled.


if AGD can sponsor a pro team, GREAT!

if they cant, that's ok. at least i still get
to keep the element of surprise.

and i think the mag is definitely makin a comeback.
people always stare at my xmag as they walk past it.
they want it, they just dont understand why.

i could tell them, but id rather let the xmag do all
the talking.

I don't think it would be in AGD's best interest to take the risk of sponsoring a pro team.

Any team they got would have to just stomp all competition, or else the public would say "they lose because they shoot Mags". If they bought a "Dynasty" then the public would say "they only shoot Mags because they have to".

The performance level between the high end guns is so close its not even funny. There is already too much bias out there. Think along the lines of supercars. The performance levels between Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche are not that far from a Z06 Vette. Especially in real world applications. However the people who can afford that type of car, may not buy a Vette because its not as high profile as the others.

I think its better to be around for a long time with a well established, reliable product, than it is to hope that the fickle "high end" gun buyer will like your product for more than a season.

Just my opinion.

paintpiggy- the one problem with your post is if the people wanted a x mag they couldnt get one because they are in suuch little production right now! they need a good amature team or a pro team to help boost sales so they can get more money to make more x mags

OK.... big teams sponsorships... dont think so, it would b neat but no, i agree with the local idea... so look at lil leagues like the ICC (my local league) and pick one of the top teams out of that, throw them 5 free guns if they sign to use them (my team would b a good team... we r a top am team by the way... we also finished 7th in nov 5man at cup and made semi appearance in 10 man ... no harm in self advertisement right?) because locally there r no mag supporters.. and the people who have mags have base bare mags with the stock barrel (how cool do those look) i am the only one that i know of in my city and basicly the tournament series with a serious mag... if no new players get to see it then there is no new markets for it... all ur new upgrades and what not r spectacular but the only problem with that is ur basicly only selling to people that already own mags... granted that makes owners happy, but what does that really do for new markets?? and really... what new player would want to buy a $300 non electronic gun?? they can get there spyders for close to 100... my ideas feel free to follow me up

[Lord_Whoopass]

I would vote to give more local sponsors... and wait for a good AGD team like Kids or Pride to step up and go pro... Or make a Good pro team out of the currently sponsored AGD Teams... Personally I now use a mag because of the fact that I seen AGD kids and Pride using them at a local field (BFG in Germantown, WI)... and they were kicking butt... If you get good local teams sponsored around the US... like spread it out such as sponsoring teams from the east and west coast and inbetween (pick certain local circuits and such)... Also I think you could get away with a lot cheaper of a sponsorship for a bunch of great local teams than a good pro team...

[teamkamakazee]

no i say you give a pro team warp feeds then build up the copmpany off those people will think hey there loaders are the fastes so there guns should be the fastes wich they are pretty close to being

[Dayspring]

We know what you think. Most people are going about it differently than you want them to though.

I think the Amateur team idea is a good one. The thing you have to ask though- even though the Kids took Skyball, has AGD made any headway in the tourney scene b/c of it?

[teamkamakazee]

yes thast why im saying do a pro team cause when the kids took sky ball nothing ever happened to make agd bigger

[f3rr3+]

wow 30k for such a small sport... lucky bastards

[teamkamakazee]

yeah i wish i was that good

[teamkamakazee]

or they need a team to do good in the ao like agd did last year i think but they need to get first place
