Thanks so much for sharing this with the FIRST community, and for taking the time to convert it to pdf. It's a great resource, and I tell you that it will come in handy for us, since we lost one of our sponsors this year.

Re: Corporate Sponsorship... a piece of cake
 

I know this link is a little old but we could use your help. We are trying to find out if our team's manual has been effective or not. We are making a report to our school district and sponsors and feedback on the success of the manual would be helpful. If anyone has had success using the ideas from the manual would you please post the success stories here or e-mail me so we can put them in our report. My e-mail is shardina@team60.com

Thanks for the feed back.

We could use all the help we can get. This year our sponsors are gone. We need to raise all the funds we can.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Amanda,

I'm from Team 980. I don't know you personally, but I know Team 60 are our good Buds! I would like to have your marketing manual, as I'm working on getting corporate sponsorship for our team. I've put out a number of proposals in a "cold-call" sort of way, but am wondering how much a personal contact in the company has to do with success. In other words, did you guys know someone personally in the company who helped you get the Ford sponsorship of last year or the year before, or any other large corporate sponsorship you've had in the past? What is the largest amount you've received in one year from one sponsor? Did you ever get a major corporate sponsor from a cold-call kind of approach, where you didn't know anyone and you just sent a proposal out of the blue?

I'd also like to hear from other teams who've gotten major corporate sponsorship. Can you give me some answers to my questions above and any other information about your successful actions in getting your major (about 15K or more) sponsor?

In the meantime, Mandy, I would really appreciate your materials. Possibly you already gave a manual to Doug Hogg or Gary Hedge, but I would appreciate my own copy as I'm working on sending proposals daily and I'd like to see what you've done as soon as possible. Let me know if you'd like some reimbursement for mailing cost. Send to: Michele Kirkland

Thanks so much!
Hope you guys will come to the Chatsworth Scrimmage!

Best, Michele

Re: Corporate Sponsorship... a piece of cake
 

Hello again,
I'm new to Chief Delphi and I didn't read the entire thread before sending you an e-mail moments ago, asking for a copy of your manual. I then noticed the date and also saw that you'd run out and that it was on your website... yada, yada, yada. So I've just downloaded it from your website. Thank you.

I'm still interested in hearing from you and anyone else:
1) What role prior personal association had to do with successfully gaining a major sponsorship (if it did)?
2) What has been the largest sponsorship in one year from one sponsor?
3) Any other successful actions in procuring major sponsorship. (When I say "major", I'm thinking about 15K or more).

Thanks again for the manual.

Michele

Houston, we have a problem!!!
 

We are students from Liberato Team #1603 (Brazil), a public institution that is participating of First Robotics Competition.

Despite of difficulties with the conclusion of the project, we did it!
Our Robot is ready rock. It was very hard to construct the robot, inspite of, we had just one teacher helping us, and the FIRST kit of parts came 3 weeks later.

Last week, we come across a huge problem: we have no resources to travel to U.S.. It puts all our knowledge and hard work in slite edge.

We have enough money to send just one single student! If we keep going this way, we will not participate of the FIRST spirit, taking our hands off the oportunity to trade knowledge and experience with other team members.

Every help is usefull.

greetings

Re: Corporate Sponsorship... a piece of cake
 

Greetings Liberato!

Do not give up; all things are possible when you are a FIRST robotics team! You've done a great job so far. Please tell me when and where your regional is to be.

Visit every business owner in your area and show them photos of what you do and get them to help sponsor you. Also have the students write their successes and what they gotten out of being on the robotics team. Show the most inspiring successes to the business owner.

Our team will try to help. We are checking into some possibilities, but do not wait. Take action. We're not sure what we will be able to do. I need to know when and where your regional competition is.

Best wishes,
Michele

Re: Corporate Sponsorship... a piece of cake
 

Help! I'm interested in mailing letters to companies asking for their support becuase we specifically use their product on our robot every year. How do I go about the presentation item? Becuase they are not local, we cannot just drive there and show them our robot. Should I include pictures of the robot in build process/compeition in the letter, or tell them I can send them electronically (email)?

Re: Corporate Sponsorship... a piece of cake
 

Our team is going to need new sponsers next year since we might lose some major ones.
