I'm looking for a company to sponser and invest in a drag strip I'm looking to open in my area. What is the best way to contact the companies, and find companies that would be willing to invest?

I would say look who sponsors NASCAR, IRL, NHRA etc.  Try to find similar companies in your market, and approach them about the idea, and success that is had at other racing venues.  Basically try big-time sponsorship schemes on a smaller level.

Jasmine - to improve this website you have to ask yourself a lot of questions. Who are they trying to appeal to? What do they want the viewer to do? Who is the competition? What position in the marketplace do they want to own?\nFrom a quick look at the site, I don't think it was meant for me - the average Joe. It seems to be focused on business to business. It's basically an online catalog. What's good about this? Any plumber or repair guy can go online and order the part they need. What's bad? The company comes off as a parts distributor with no true personality. A part is a part.\nFrom PD customer's perspective, why should they go to PD instead of Lowe's or some other parts company? Without a brand, PD is competing on price. That ain't good.\nI don't see anything on the site about the company except "In business for decades." What's the company's story? Why was there a need to open this business and why has it been successful? Do they make the best epoxy resin parts? Can they handle orders no one else can? What tolerances do they manufacture to? Who have they done business with? Do they supply parts to Her Majesty the Queen? Why PD?\nProfessionally, I think "Plastic Depot" is as generic as you can get in a company name. At least "South Bay Plastics" might have made me feel good about ordering from you guys if I was from the south bay area. A name is a big part of the brand. The Plastic Depot name and logo is about as engaging as a beige wall.\nWhat's ironic is your web address is plastic depotS .com and your name is plastic depot (with no "s"). I know the problems with getting the address of a common name but it seems silly to invest money into a new name that won't come up on the web when I type it out.\nCompare PD with Starbucks. Or even, check out http://www.snapon.com/ - their website has personality and they know the power of a brand. Even Home Depot knows how to make you feel good about ordering online from them. \nEven online, you want to differentiate yourself. You want to stand out. You want any viewer to come away with your main message - what makes DP the best company to do business with? Okay, they do plastics. And???\nPlastic Depot web site is organized the way PD does business. It might make sense to the company, but not to the consumer. How would somebody really use this? If I need a pump for my boat - wouldn't I want to look under the "marine" section to see what parts are available? Why must I sort through all you different kinds of pumps to find what I need?\nThere's an expression in advertising - sell the sizzle, not the steak. This web site is only selling steak. Look at http://www.napaautoparts.com/ - they too are selling parts. Yet they make the web site more attractive and easier to navigate.\nIt'd be helpful to find info on what plastics are best with which projects. What are the benefits of the acrylic fabrication? \nI don't easily get from the web site that I can order custom plastic parts. Should I? Just because PD may be a b2b company, doesn't mean it should be boring.\n\nWhat does it need? IMHO, it needs a makeover. It needs a page or pages that tells me the PD story. It needs to reassure me that the parts I order will be right the first time (if the parts are wrong or cracked, PD will delay my schedule and cost me money). It needs to organize the information into chunks that make sense. Someone looking for a football case does not care that PD makes ventilation ducts. The site needs to answer the FAQ under the tech advice. (If PD is the expert, here's their chance to shine and show off.) It needs buttons that work - I can't get back to "home" when I'm on a different page.\nIn essence, I'd recommend PD hire an ad agency or design firm and talk to pros about how they can build a site that goes beyond just cataloging the PD inventory. People do business wit

I am so glad you clarified what a belly dump is in your "more information" because I have never heard of such a thing but WHAT a funny sounding word!\n\nThat said, I would suggest that networking is going to be your best bet.  Pick up the phone.  If you know other owner/operators, ask who they use.  Or even if you know companies that hire "belly dumps", it sounds like they must use brokers too.  So they might tell you who their brokers are.\n\nBeyond that, is there anything says you have to go through a broker?  Can you offer your services directly to companies?  You might be able to do that with a post card, a phone call, a letter, a small brochure, a business card, a refrigerator magnet type of thing, etc.  Only thing is I would stay away from companies that use your broker because he would take offense if you went direct to his clients.

If you are looking for a work from home opportunity... I work with an Inc 500 Company that has been in business for over 20 years... and has experienced growth in ALL 20 of those years.  They have excellent published credentials... and even send all of those working the business a monthly magazine which tells you exactly what the average income for each representative is.  The compensation plan is very easy to understand... and there is no stocking of products to sell.  It is the first program that I have been involved with that has actually paid me every month AND my upline is very supportive and doesn't charge me for training. The company mission statement is: "Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping others to reach their goals.  The basic principle is revenue sharing.. the company believes in rewarding those of us who help them to get the word out about their products.  PLUS... they offer a complete money back guarantee on both the products and the business plan.  What I like best about the opportunity is that NO-ONE can possibly get hurt.  If you would like more information about how I suppliment my income from home...contact me through my Yahoo 360 page.  No promises of get rich quick... just accurate information on how, if you actually work the business you can build a legitimate business for yourself from home.  Work for yourself...NOT by yourself.

Sell your souls! Seriously!.....\n\nWhat I mean is, don't be afraid of "whoring" yourself out to EVERY newspaper, radio show, TV show in your area. Get as much publicity as you can. \n\nThe more publicity you get, the more sponsors you will get interested as it's to their advantage to get yourselves and your car seen as much as possible. \n\nWhat about driving your car around the local towns/villages in an attempt to drum up some support from locals. Spend some money getting it decorated in stickers with all the relevant information. \n\nMaybe put together a website address that you can give out to people with a PayPal account. That way you can hand out flyers etc with your website details on it and you never know, someone will contribute. \n\nA website, properly designed with loads of info on it will seem more attractive to potential sponsors too.

Contact local banks that have loans for ATV's, and also contact ATV dealerships to find out what company they do their financing for and then contact that those companies for info on where they aution their property.  The above writer is correct in saying that you must attend the auctions early and be there w/ cash in hand.  Most places that auction automobiles off will generally have a list you can purchase ahead of time so that you know if there's anything there worth showing up for.

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information. Cheers.\nCourtney

I can only comment on our network marketing company that we are distributors for. as we have been going for 27 years , with no debt, every country we open a head office in we buy it cash... We are currently in 114 countries. \nwe dont owe anyone money and our turnover in uk was 34 million and rising.we are ranked the 2nd successful mlm. I cant see any way possible that this would suddenly fold and the distributors lose out. The assets our company own include south fork in Dallas plus a number of other resorts worldwide. \nI feel safe with my company but you never stated which one you are joining and how long they have been going. I would be wary of joining any networking company that did not have a proven track record. before you sign do your homework, get as much info on the co as poss.\nI loved the whole concept of our company and they way that it works, I have since looked at a few other mlm and found their way does not benefit the distributor as much, but that does not mean to say there arent other good ones out there. If you would like to know more dont hesitate in contacting me but include a email for me to contact you back. I think speaking to someone else can help as you get a different view on things and good ideas!!

if you're a small business, don't start advertising on websites yet.  \n\nDo some local advertising first to see what kind of response you get.  If you're located in the US, a good option is to do some direct mailing locally through clippermagazine -- see their site link below.\n\nhttp://www.clippermagazine.com/\n\nIn response to what the person below me said, local advertising is NOT expensive compared to larger-scale advertising.  Clipper mails out a small magazine to people in your area with a full-page ad for your business along with coupons customers can use.  \n\nMy brother used Clipper when he started out with his tanning salon and he received a great response without spending tons of money!

best bet is talk to someone who has a tire business and get their advise on what options you have

Couple of issues.\n\n1. If you are aproaching these companies as an individual and they're wanting a company to "back you up", I would strongly suggest you either set yourself up with a business lic. under a fictitious name. This can be done through your county. The other alternative would be to set up a corporation through your state or a different state, Nevada being a popular choice. The corporation would give you tax benefits and personal asset protection but is more complicated and costly.\n\n2. Economies of scale. If you are importing 10 units per month the companies you aproach are importing 1000 units per month greatly lowering their cost.\n\nSuggestions:\n\n1. Try ebay you might be surprised at the results.\n\n2. Attend trade shows specificly related to the product you are selling.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nPS. ignore my spelling.\n\nRascal
