Mr. Hall Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 How have some of you got sponsors for competitions? "And it is this lack of fear that makes for the dance" - Anne Morrow Lindbergh (https://www.loudounmartialarts.com)
Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 The one tournament I held, we had the best response if we had a phamphlet to had to all participants when they paid to enter the tournament with the sponsers ad (larger the ad, the more they have to pay). Best bets are restaurants and motel/hotels. Sporting goods stores also should be good, and health clubs. Just knock on the door, ask to speak to manager/owner. RExplain what you are doing and expected turnout of competitors and spectators (I've never been to a tourney yet that had many spectators other than the participants and families). I'd over-inflate that realistic figure somewhat though. If you need time/score keepers..hit up parents of students, and also might want to try another local martial arts club. Looks like you're doing TKD? Ask the local judo club if you have one, but be prepared to have them ask you when they have a tournament..only fair, right? My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
