Sponsors for Donations - Solicitation List and Email Template

Ok guys I need opinion I landed a huge huge deal for this with tunze. I've been working on them for 2 weeks and this is what there offering I really think we should take advantage of it.


We will donate a 6015 and a tube of coral gum epoxy. We also offer you the chance to buy up to $500 of product at 40% off shipped, basically at cost, if that is of any interest.

Let me know ASAP so I can get back to them

Well we didnt jump on the ecotech deal... I think we should do a wavemaker setup from these guys.

What are you proposing $$ wise?

Well if we spend $500 we get $800 of product it wouldn't be hard to get that back out of good quality product. We don't have to do anything but I think it's a good opertunity for us

Hmmm I could see value at maybe a-

comline 6208 wave box http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C=US&user_tunzeprod_pi1[predid]=-infoxunter064

and a turbelle stream 6105 http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C=US&user_tunzeprod_pi1[predid]=-infoxunter060.

With a 2 pump controller

Looks like it would cost us $454.00 or so combined.

I'm going to stand by and see what others think. Also when do we have to purchase them?

Make up a couple proposed packages so I can see what we are thinking perhaps 300 and 500

I've been talking to them both through email and phone I can mention it and see what they say but I would like to know what we are wanting to do as far as buying the next time I talk to them I will also try to get price sheets also

Tropic Marin also got back to me but they have some concerns here's what they said and I'm kinda agree they don't get a ton of exposure



I am very interested in the Colorado area as we are re-establishing distribution in the Denver and surrounding areas that used to be a valuable market for us. That being said, I looked at the website and I don't see any tab that shows "sponsors". There is only a very small MASC sponsor link that one sees if they look carefully for it specifically. All I see is the rotating banners that rotate only when the page is first loaded. You have to understand that companies like ours are asked to donate many times every day! If I am looking at return on investment alone, I see that if I donate, my banner will be on a long list buried under a small text link with all the banners graphically jammed on top of each other.

Well if they are platinum sponsors their banner will rotate on every page. If they are any other level of sponsors they will be listed on sponsors page and under other sponsors, under sponsors threads.

I agree we can make the sponsors list button/link a bit more visible on every page though. I just made a link/tab in the same line as today's post, what's news etc. So that should take care off the exposure for non platinum sponsors.

Re: Sponsors for Donations - Solicitation List and Email Template

Maybe have them look again at the tab I added.

[scchase]
