The downside of today's marketplace is that we live in a Googlefied world. If someone
can't in a few seconds look up the information that they are interested in through a Google search, they are inclined
to give up and move on. Additionally, the motocross community is notoriously "insider" driven. Racers, teams, manufacturers,
and sponsors keep everyone at arm's length in an effort to ebb the flood of sponsorship requests each year. This combination
makes connecting sponsors with race teams challenging for both the team and the sponsor.
Try it yourself,
pick your favorite team and do a search on the web. Assume that you are a corporate marketing person trying to get in contact
with team XYZ. Unless you have an in-depth knowledge of how race teams work and who to contact, you'll give up in frustration.
Even if you are able to get a name and a phone number, there is a strong likelihood that you may never get a call back because
"they don't know who you are".
The goal of MX Connections is to provide a collection of team profiles
to ease the research required to contact a race team. All specific information (point of contact, phone numbers, e-mail addresses,
etc.) will be kept confidential within the MX Connection database. When a sponsor inquires about a race team, MX Connections
will alert the team that they have an inquiry so that the team can follow up directly with the sponsor. Direct contact information
will never be given out. It will always be up to the race team to make contact with the sponsorship candidate.
As
a value added service, MX Connections will assist sponsors with designing a program that is right for them. Each race team
has a certain personality. Magazines and event promoters do as well. Based on understanding the goals of the sponsor, MX Connections
will recommend a program that is tailored to the objectives that the sponsor wishes to attain.
Will other race
teams be able to see our team profiles? - Yes, so don't include anything that is not for public consumption. Sponsorship
fees, agency commissions, contact information, or any other sensitive data should not be included in your post.
What
if our team doesn't have a race program. Let MX Connections develop one for you. We can assemble a race program that conveys
your mission and personality. This will let the sponsor know who you are.
Is MX Connections for Race teams only
- Yes. Rider support is a separate segment of the sponsorship market and is not part of the services offered by MX Connections.
