how can I help?

[sweet3rdgen]

internetautomart asked me on another site (maxima.org) to come here and offer my help. I live in Madison and host a car cruise-in every sunday. What can I do to help? I do not know what is needed and do not know what I can do to help, but what can I do?

What I know;
I have done two shows
I do know of a good trophy/dash plaque company
I know how to contact Maguires for sponsorship
I will help anyway needed

Just let me know.

[Mr Grey]

welcome, nice to see that there are some people here with some experience...no disrespect to anyone trying. Well, you can do a couple of things to begin with. Start talking to companies and see if you can get sponsorships. I know you have a hook up of sorts with Meguiars, that's good. Please start spreading the word locally, and see how many people you can get to commit to show. i know it's a next year, but some people can plan a mini weekend vacation for Maxus. Thanks for dropping your hat in the ring..........

I don't have a lot of experience, but will help anyway I can. Meguire's is fairly easy from what I experienced. You have to fax them info on date of show, how many cars expected and a 7 day period to send promo stuff. It usually takes a couple of months before they will send stuff. I will have to look in my records for the address.

Trophies and dash plaques are just a matter of money. Rallye Productions are pretty inexpensive (comparitively) and they have a lot of various designs to choose from. It takes about 1-2 weeks of back and forth emailing and phone calls to approve art and designs. Then it only takes three weeks to receive product.

The easiest way to get door prizes and gifts to give away is to go to various shops and ask. Most people are pretty good about supporting something that they feel will bring them business, or get their name out there. They can often write it off as advertising. It takes a lot of leg work, and an area the size of Chicago...wow.

I will start to check out various places on the web for sponsorship and promo items. I will let you know what I find

I actually asked a shop I know if they would be interested in sponsoring. He is, but he wants a proposal :ugh:

We can work on that SUnday night.. what do you say? with a copy of the ppp

[Brian]

that was my thought.

[Xmax]

Oigh proposals, I dislike proposals, but whatever it takes to get at least on shop or company to sponsor this event so we can save some money. Someone is gonna have to help type this up, its been so long since I wrote one.

[Brian]

oigh is spelled OY.

I don't write, that's why I'm stuck without owning my own store. If I could write a proposal I'd be rich or at least comfortable.

OH! btw, do you want me to call up starbucks to see if we can get the meeting room there?

[Kowalski]

oi/oigh/oy is a sound, it can't be spelled...

[Brian]

oi/oigh/oy is a sound, it can't be spelled...

phew, that was hard...........


of course! I would love to Dave!:wub:

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

lol nice dave nice....


what did you expect? My self esteem is low enough, I can't handle any rejection right now...

[Mr.Duck]

why's your self esteem low?

[kkozy1982]

what did you expect? My self esteem is low enough, I can't handle any rejection right now...

i didn't reject you...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

when we went golfing, I hit my head on the trunk latch I felt pretty dumb. Today I realised I had a gash open when I did that and have a BIG scar on my head...

[Mr.Duck]

when did you do that? was i there?

[kkozy1982]

oooo... that sounds painful!

if it makes you feel any better, i've opened the door and hit my eye with the corner of the door...

[Mr.Duck]

but it still doesnt explain the low self esteem comment.. i'm so lost.....

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

when we were dropping the clubs off before best buy.......

from what I can feel, the scar is about an inch long...

[kkozy1982]

how did you do that???

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

opened the trunk, leaned over to put in clubs, leaned back and up, bang goes the skull right on the trunk latch. Being tall is overrated...

[kkozy1982]

awwww... i guess being tall isn't always a good thing. Being short has more disadvantages i think tho. It's ok dave! hopefully, your injury isn't too bad. havve y ou had anyone take a look at it?

[Mr.Duck]

damn, i didnt even notice you doing that...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

what's there to notice? I hit my head, touched where I hit it to check for blood. There was no blood so I carried on. Apparently the blood came out duuring our best buy trip...

[kkozy1982]

make sure you're okay dave....

alright

bed time. sweet dreams.

[Mr.Duck]

oh snap, that sucks, well i'm off to bed too gotta wake up a bit early to wash and wax my car before work... ill c ya around 930-10 dave

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

cool, see ya, getting sleepy as well...

[Kowalski]

damn, i gotta check my interior for blood...

when am i supposed to go to your house today, dave?

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

whenever.......................................... ...
duck won't be here til 10pm or so...

[kkozy1982]

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

good, and our water isn't orange anymore...
how are you?

[Mr.Duck]

your water isnt orange anymore? what the crack?

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

yeah, it rained yetserday, somewhere not here, and the water was orange. The company here is SHIT and I don't understand how the residents here put up with that shit. Anyway, I just ordered one of those $1200 whole house filters to take care of that...

[kkozy1982]

good, and our water isn't orange anymore...

well, that's good news.

i'm delirious today..everything is making me giggle.

[Mr.Duck]
