Cheeky emails

I am now in the process of sending emails to all the companies I've bought kit from to bolt to my motor.
I'm asking for company logos to put on my motor and I've attached my justgiving web link.

Lets see what happens

i have been doing the same

mines filled

im sending out some written letters might do some emails too!!

you guys got to much spare money!lol

Aye tis a numbers game this and the odds are getting lower and lower.
Jist keep on trucking.

I think I mentioned somewhere else that a good thing that I have found that works is to super impose a foto of ther logo onto your car, print it off and use that as page 1 in your portfolio folder.

Or if yer sending them by post, again, print it off and enclose it.

Similar with e mails.

Great idea!

Don't under sell yourself, or the space on the vehicle, small is cheap, and bonnet/wheel cover comes at a higher cost, and try not to get advertisers with the same product

So far I've sent about 15 emails including company weblink doofers

So far I've had:

2 good replies
1 bad
12 no replies

so your emailing random conpanys to donate a decent amount to h4h for a sticker?

I've asked for a donation for advertising space on my motor or just a donation to my Justgiving site which I've added as a signature line on my yahoo mail.

To be honest I have sent a few email out but I honestly believe face to face with all the paperwork, Bill's suggestion of a mock up, booted and suited, portfolio and close em down! Will work best!

Aye it does that.

I haiv a few pages with both words and images on each one.
then at the end of the 'words n pics, haiv loads of fotaes.
What some companies dont like to see is ther 'competition' fotaes in ther so they try and better it which is where the foto-shop images work weil.
After showing them their compitition fotae on your car show them theirs.
'This is just how your image will appear'
FOR A FULL YEAR, or 6months etc etc etc

Allways haiv it in the car so that ye can 'hit them' when they are intrested.

In the rear pocket haiv envelopes, personalised donation receipts and a link to your J/G addy.

Oh, get one of the 20 page wallet thingys.
NOT the loose leaf binders, ones where the sleeves are welded in.
I think it looks better.

Not easy guys; you just need to keep tryin'; doors do open.

Tim & I thank really appreciate all the effort you're putting in - there is no magic solution - just grab all the ideas you can and use them. Most importantly, don't give up.

And - don't forget those Sponsorship Forms you all have - to pester family, friends, foe and colleagues (sometimes they are the same people!). Those pennies add up. Two of the teams entered have toddlers with them - we've sent the toddlers, as well as other Junior members who are taking part, Sponsorship Forms additional to the Driver/Co-Driver ones.

just sent one to wightlink, hoping to get of this island and get a donation? am i asking to much? i think not!lol

If you don't ask, you don't get. When you speak to the local rag tell them that you are after sponsorship and mention that you have approached Wightlink amongst other companies- it's publicity for them afterall.

You are the only IOW team.

Woohoo!

Made my 1st £100 last night!

I want more now.

Nice one Ade!!
