While we post many things on this page from Printed Apparel to High End Awards... we would like to take a minute to discuss Sponsors and Sponsorships.
This post may get long.
As a Sponsor of many events in and out of the horse world, the least you can do as an individual/business/association is to tag said sponsors in any and all posts created, especially in this technology age....
As a Sponsor we want to see what you are doing. Your posts do not always have to be the wins or the highs I'll say, but we want to see the little things too. The everyday grind, the hard work you put in to get you where you are. We want to see updates.
As a Sponsor (speaking for others as we don't have Individual Sponsorships) REPRESENT YOURSELF WELL, You are wearing the brands of other businesses who have put faith and trust into you or your program, Make yourself look good. This will bring them back for the following years.
Make Deposits before Making Withdraws.
No were not talking about banking.... well actually we are.
Make a deposit(purchase) before asking about a sponsorship. Now this does not mean purchase one item and while checking out ask about sponsorships. This means multiple transactions, build a relationship with that business or person.
Flip side of things...
As a person, business, association, flag man or dog, its your responsibility to obtain those sponsors logos, whether your putting it on a truck, racecar, trailer, banner, apparel or your cat- This is your notice to tell your sponsors you need a HIGH Resolution Image of their logo.
What is a High Resolution Image?
A Vectored File..... Not ChatGPT, Opensource, GoogleAI, a screen shot from Facebook of a picture of their business card on their 1990s ripped truck seat.... Your going to want them to Email you, Not Text or Facebook, Email their brand/logo to you. PDF, AI, EPS or SVG.
As a "Digital Artist" Its easier to create something similar, for those who do not have a set logo, than attempting a recreation of a pixelated, blurry blob.
Blurry Blobs Take Longer to "sort out what it really is" and then recreate... This is where Logo Recreation Fees Come into play.
Those looking to create logos and images.... we will have short Ted Talk on how to stand out in a clean and professional way next week.
The Topic will start of with ChatGPT is only intended for Digital Media.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
