pj123 Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Hey Guys, I just wanted to let you know I am now sponsored by Denali Rods and my goal is in 8 months have a reel, line, hook, and weight sponsors to cover all my gear. I have already have one tackle shop interested in Selling Denali Rods! Quote
NateFollmer Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Congrats! Don't go emailing ever single company trying to find sponsorship though. Let them come to you. If that doesn't work, keep your emailing/contacting to a minimum and only contact products you believe in. If you have to start on Field Staff, then so be it. Prove yourself to that company and then you can move up to 'Pro Staff'. Quote

What part did you (pj) have in getting the sponsorship? What have you done? Here is a question: What is your approach to getting a shop to carry XYZ products? Quote

The others, if any come calling, will fall in line at the right time. Quote
