HOW TO APPLY FOR SPONSORSHIP IN CAR AUDIO
Not many people know that Ian ‘˜Iceman’ Pinder’s white Astravan had £65,000 retail’s worth of Orion and West Coast Customs audio-visual equipment in it. Ian made Great Big Systems and Orion HCCA woofers in particular, all the rage once again. That was some years back.
It was me that swiped the equipment deal for him.
I have been and continue to be responsible for matching up the RIGHT recipients of sponsored equipment with the very few importers and distributors who want to place such kit. I reckon that down the years, that will have added up to the other thirty-five grand.
But the big secret is not ego, it is the LACK of it. It is not ‘˜I am gonna’ it is ‘˜I have done THIS..’ and it is always about who you know and what ACTUAL magazine features you have had or are properly promised based upon a reputation.
But you always get those who are just soaked in their own self entitlement. What follows is hilarious and has been sent to a company I know by a lad who was stroppy when not given the e-mail address IMMEDIATELY he asked. I shall add some little bits in italic, by way of advice but the first is know about the target. The strop on the phone happened to be given to one of the business partners! Look out for the bit where he thinks his car will be in the movies (Oh and run a damn spell checker, kid.)
