Build an E-Bridge Between Your Fans & Sponsors
As more and more businesses rely on the internet to promote themselves and grow their business, the truth is that having a website makes you more sponsorable. It actually provides you, the racer, the ability to provide your sponsors with more bang for their buck.
This tip is not about why you should use RacingIn.com to build your web presence. Yes, we'd love it if you do, but THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS...
However you build your web presence... Whatever service you use...
YOU NEED A PRESENCE ON THE INTERNET and here's why!
We've talked in prior tips about how a racer serves, most simply, as a bridge between their fans and their sponsors, so let's talk about what that means for you and your sponsors.
A bridge provides a way for people to get from one place to another... And in many places there are MANY bridges to get from one place to another. For example, if you look at a picture of the Chicago river through downtown Chicago (click here to see it) you'll see that there are many bridges going from one side to another. Some bridges are used more than others, but the bottom line is this...
THE MORE BRIDGES THERE ARE, THE EASIER IT IS TO GET PEOPLE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER
Now, think about the number of bridges that you offer to a potential sponsor as a way of getting YOUR FANS to become customers of THEIR BUSINESS. A website that provides a 'link and logo' for your fans to find and interact with your sponsors is absolutely invaluable.
If you don't have a website, you simply have 1 less bridge that you offer sponsors than other competitors who are seeking sponsorship from many of the same businesses.
So, to sum up this Sponsorship Tip: NOT HAVING A WEBSITE (in 2009) is a lot like telling the starter you're absolutely willing to start at the back of the pack.
