Sponsor seach

The sponsor search has begun for the 2008 season. We are trying to find sponsors who have a local connection. Either an alum has something to do with the company, or it is a local company in the Northfield area. Of course an exception can be made, but in general we would like to advertise something with a connection!
The larger the sponsorship, the large the logo of that particular company is on the jersey. The jersey is a great place to advertise. Last year we sold about 60 jerseys to people all over the country. The jerseys are shown off, ridden in, raced with, basically they become moving billboards. However, a jersey will last for many years, thus provide many years of advertising without any further investment. It simply cannot be beat. Not only is the extra advertising good for the company, but also great for public relations. Giving back to the community is always looked highly upon!


We are also looking for a sponsorship for the Oct. 28 cyclo-cross race on campus. Racers from all over MN, come down to campus and ride laps near the football field. Last year was the first time, and we had 180 racers, one of the bigger turnouts in all of MN for this kind of race. Another great way to get your companies name out.

If anyone is interested in either sponsorship possibility, please contact me at boycej@stolaf.edu
