End of the semester

This semester I took two ETP classes and have learned a few great tips and a lot of great info from each. From how to prepare a marketing plan, which ways are most effective when marketing, and what local business owners did to start and how they run their business. I have already started putting some ideas to use in my business during this semester and cant wait to see how my next ETP class in the spring will help.

Sponsoring

Sponsoring can be a great marketing idea if you choose the best places, events, or people to sponsor.
For sponsoring a person you need to chose a great person that would represent your company well. They would talk about your products and use it around potential customers. For example, I am watching the barrel racing in the national finals rodeo this week. One of the riders is sponsored by a small custom tack business. She is using a lot of their products and getting them noticed by around 500,000 people that are watching the event this week. She is doing a great job advertising their products and is promoting them very well. I think it was a great move on the businesses part by sponsoring her, they chose a great rider that has the ability to get them noticed. While they might have given her free products to use, they will get so much out of sponsoring her that it will be well worth it.
