WE GOT A SPONSOR!!!

This week was mainly spent shaking down potential sponsors. AND THAT WORK PAID OFF! Simone and I got a sponsor from Coastal Select Properties! GO US! Unfortunately we have not received the other 2 that we need by Tuesday. I have spent the weekend trying to figure out why we are not getting firm commitments from sponsors and I think I have come up with the reason and a solution. We are mainly targeting stores and restaurants right now. A lot of the places that have rejected us said no because they just don't have the cash flow right now. Yellow Dog Discs actually told us that if we come back in a few weeks, then they probably will have money to give us. The places that we are going after have seasonal cash flow. Once Black Friday passes and the holiday season officially begins, they will have more money to donate. For right now, we need to go after businesses that have a more consistent cash flow such as insurance agents, banks, car dealerships, and law firms. Luckily, we have leads of that nature that seem very interested in sponsoring us so Simone and I will be following up hard on them as well as building a new contact sheet.
