Dan,
Thank you for the feedback. We heading down similar paths. Sounds like we are both at different steps in chasing our dreams.
I fully understand why you put the sponsor name on your shirts. I am a guide, tournament fisherman and a seminar speaker that dreams of one day making it big. I fully agree that you have to take baby steps with your sponsors. Prove it first and then take the next step of asking for the $.
I have many similar deals but most of them are pro-staff or vip staff deals where you get a certain % off of the product. Nothing to complain about, every little bit helps. I really enjoy promoting the products that I believe in.
The shirts you had made look very good. What would you do if you get a new sponsor, do you add them to the shirt or do they have to wait until next year? I have checked into the places where you get those shirts done and I know it would be very expensive to send the shirt back to have something added to it.
That's the trouble with shirts. Adding and deleting the names on them can get costly.
Nice talking to you.
