Remster 30 #2 July 12, 2006 Should? Nothing. Could? Anything from 0 to 100% depending on who you are, how you approach the manufacturer and the business case you have.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vectracide 0 #4 July 14, 2006 I differs from manufactuer to manufacturer. For example, you might not get the better deal from the manufactuer that turns out the highest # of rigs each year. And this isn't to say that you are going to get your best deal from the little guy either, as he as a bottom line to just stay afloat. I would say, choose the rig that you really like and would like to represent as a "sponsor". Now you are more than likely to get a good offer if you have plans within the skydiving sport, and not making it just a every so often affair. What I mean, is that if you plan on putting together a 4 way RW, or 4 way VRW for that matter and competing in the future, let them know! Tell them how much you jump and what your goals are. It also helps to have one small sponsorship to start as well. It doesn't have to be a skydiving gear sponsor, maybe just the corporation or business that you work for for example. This helps get the ball rolling. It also helps to have someone in the sport that has connections, or can talk the talk. Not that you would not have to put forth some effort in the future for the people, you need to help them sell their gear! Peddle the container whenever the opportunity exists. If someone says thier rig fits like crap, hand them your and show them how damn comfortable it is! That is what I do, and I have converted 2-3 people so far. Its not easy, but if you want continued deals, or "sponsorships" it's neccesary. Now to ask you, what are you goals. What container are you considering? Don't forget your main and reserves. If you buy your reserves from the manufactuer or the mains, you may recieve another deal there. IE: PD, or Aerodyne, or Precision. Based on what your goals are, I might be able to assist you in some way. But you gotta be serious, not just looking for a handout. Let me know. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
