How a Team Maine Racing Sponsorship Will Benefit You and Your Business
A sponsorship is more than just a rolling billboard. Sure, you will have your company’s name on the trailer and sleds, but there are many other valuable benefits. These benefits include:
- a team who can help network and promote your business
- exposure for your business
- possible tax write-offs
Common Myths About Motorsports Sponsorships:
Myth 1 – Providing sponsorship is simply too expensive. Not true! You determine how you would like to provide assistance to the race team – there are many different forms of sponsorship and it does not have to include financial support.
Myth 2 – All that you receive in return for sponsoring the team is your company’s name on the sled. As stated above, there are many other benefits you will receive.
What Types of Sponsorship Opportunities are There?
There are many different ways you can provide sponsorship. Sometimes it just takes a little creativity. Of course there is always monetary support. You could also become a product sponsor by providing items needed for the racing season. Often time’s sponsors will provide racers with unique types of sponsorship that have no direct correlation to racing itself, but allow funds that would normally be spent on other products or services to be used for the race team. I would be more than happy to discuss any ideas you may have.
How Can a Team Maine Racing Sponsorship Benefit Your Business?
A Team Maine Racing sponsorship can increase name awareness through visibility in the community, potentially improve revenue, and increase employee morale. Of course, an added benefit is the potential tax break/advertising write-off you may be able to claim for your business.
Have you ever passed the Team Maine Racing trailer on the road? Let me ask you, did it catch your eye? The attention received while traveling to races is tremendous. Maybe we could park the sleds and trailer in front of your store; it would definitely draw attention! You’ll find customers coming in and asking who we are and what we are about.
Use the opportunity as a public relations vehicle by displaying pictures on the wall of the office or store.
Even if you personally have no interest in racing, you can still take advantage of the promotional opportunities it can provide your business. For those of you who are race fans, racing events are the perfect venue to connect with existing customers and meet new ones. Again, use the opportunity to be creative and set your company apart from other companies in your market. There is no doubt that more exposure in the community will translate into a sale down the road.

Additional Benefits Sponsors Will Receive
Your company’s name will be placed on the Team Maine Racing website, Facebook page, trailer and sleds. It may also include contact information such as your e-mail address, phone number, location, etc. You can also use this space for special promotional advertisements or as a reward to your suppliers or customers. The size of the sign will coincide with the value of support given. Anyone interested in becoming more involved with Team Maine Racing is also welcome to become a part of the “support crew” for any of the events.
Basic decals to appear on the trailer and sleds will be provided at no charge. This includes all letters and numbers for your signs. If you are interested in incorporating pictures, logos or other advertising signage, it will be necessary to discuss how this will be provided.
Under “Race Archives” you can see our accomplishments to date. We also have pictures of our trailer and sleds throughout the website.
