Re: What do Sponsors Get?

In Zeeland here is how it works:

Some sponsors give money, some give time and some give both. Most will not directly benefit from being our sponsor with more sales. What all are looking for is recognition in our community. We put all sponsors on the robot. If our design works we will display the big money people more predominantly.

What we can "give" our sponsors (and really what they want besides recognition) is quality kids. We make sure our big sponsors know the kids who are going to schools like Kettering and GVSU school of Engineering. It took a few years, but now our sponsors and kids know to look to each other for jobs or internships.

I guess that is what sponsors get, some recognition and some good kids.
