$5,000 Sponsorship Winner to be Announced
at Free Sponsorship Seminar in A.C.

A lucky racer will walk off with a $5,000 sponsorship package at Ernie Saxton’s FREE sponsorship seminar being presented at the Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show presented by VP Racing Fuels.

The seminar is set for 12:30 pm on Sunday, January 20th at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

“More than 150 entries were received for the contest,” said Saxton. “There were entries from as far off as California. And I will tell you that the judges had a tough time deciding the winner. There was some excellent sponsorship proposals submitted.”

The winner of the contest will be announced at the FREE seminar and he or she will walk off with $4,000 in cash courtesy of Chad Sinon/BPG Racing and Joe Bertothy. The winner will be required to carry their name/logo on their race car for the 2008 season.

In addition the winner will receive a $250 package of photo cards courtesy of Racerboy Marketing/Chris Budihas Photography, a custom paint job for a racer’s helmet compliments of Four Star Lettering/Brian Hirthler and a sponsorship package that includes telephone consultation from Ernie Saxton Communications, Inc.

Just added to the list of prizes is the creation of a racer’s website courtesy of Radical Design Group, LLC/Jay Dugan. That is an award winning graphic design and lettering studio specializing in the motorsports industry. The company is located in Hamilton, New Jersey.

The FREE seminar will give attendees the basics in sponsorship marketing.

“It is not possible to teach attendees everything they need to know in such a short period of time but we will at least get them headed in the right direction,” said Saxton. “We will talk about creating the proposal, finding the potential sponsor, what to offer the sponsor, how to get the media involved and so much more.”

This will be the 23rd year that Saxton has offered the FREE seminar as part of the show.

Saxton will also offer a very special price on a sponsorship marketing kit that includes generic proposals, a DVD on creating proposals,  the outstanding Andrew Waite book titled “Winning Sponsorship, “A Hodgepodge of Sponsorship Tips,” contracts, and a one year subscription to Saxton’s Motorsports Sponsorship Marketing News.  Orders will have to be placed at the seminar and credit cards will be accepted.
