Cycle Gear Sponsorship

[Mustang]

So I've been meaning since beginning my racing career to go sign up for the "Cycle Gear Racing" program (formerly called Cycle Gear racer support, IIRC). I finally went and did it this week...and there's really no reason to not do it; I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier, after the season I had this year.

Among other things, AM/NV get:
- 20% off regular price CG-exclusive items, 15% off special order items and all other regular price items
- $25 CG gift card after proof of completing "five race events"
- $25 CG gift card with proof of each race win

EX riders get the same as AM/NV, except
- 20% off spec order/reg price items
- $50 gift cards instead of $25.

Just have to run stickers and list them as a sponsor.

Make double sure you get them the paper work and enter it into the system. Theres a list of sponsorships in the systems thats ALWAYS fucked up.

Hello All!

My name is Christine Parsley. I am a Marketing Manager at Cycle Gear, and I work with the race program. Cycle Gear was founded by privateer racers, and racing is close to our hearts. We are very proud to support racers of all levels and disciplines with discounts and rewards throughout the race season!
To sign up, go in to your local Cycle Gear store and ask for a Cycle Gear Racing application. Each store is allowed 20 racers on their roster for the year. Most of our 97 stores do not have full rosters yet.

The applications are faxed, (old-school style) from our stores to our company headquarters for processing. This has not been without hiccups in the past and we are moving towards a more automated and streamlined online sign-up process for 2013. If there are any issues with paperwork and sign ups, I am more than happy to help with that. If a store needs help walking a racer through the sign-up or results redemption process, I encourage them to call me.

I am a racer myself and know how crucial sponsorship on all levels can be to our sport. I am honored to work with the racers in our program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the Cycle Gear Racing program. Email is best, as I just signed up for this forum to address this post, and I am not a "regular" here.

Best regards,

Christine Parsley
