RGSHOOTING BATCH 10 <3
Monday, June 16, 2008
Actually, sponsorship should be open to everyone who is willing to provide funds with/without their names appearing on the products. Therefore, we should not be cancelling out possible sponsors.
I feel that it is actually not a must to force members to purchase this jacket and as a result, we should bear the costs ourselves if we actually want to have them.
Moreover, sponsorship is not as simple as it seems. Firstly, we must actually decide on our products, the design/outlook, our budget, etc. and present them to the sponsor for consideration. Assuming that each piece costs $25, and there's 10 shooters per level and there're 4 levels, that's $1000 in total. Although this sum cannot be said to be small, it is not that big either. It is not that difficult if a sponsor does not mind to fork up this sum.
However, the most important point of this is whether there is a need to find a sponsor. As this is not a jacket that will be worn on a very large scale (large scale meaning e.g. ORA), the sponsor might not find this worthy to sponsor.
In my opinion, what we should do is to
- come up with design, materials and quantity desired
- get quotation from printing companies
If we are comfortable with the price that has been quoted, then we will go ahead with the printing.
It would be good to have a jacket but it is not a necessity.
Ultimately, we should work hard as a team for the upcoming Nationals first. We should always enjoy each training, working hard all the way, which I believe this is our unanimous goal!
Jiayou!
