Why Sponsor the Casmir Autosport
All-American Junior Racing Team?
We have crafted a promotional model that will allow AAJRT sponsors to
look forward to a multi-tiered return on their investment.
- Television Exposure – All American Junior Racing Team Elite
drivers will compete in four professional racing series. These races are
televised on Speed Channel, Fox and the ESPN family of networks. Each year
the team will compete in more than 45 nationally televised race
- Geographical Exposure - The All-American Junior Racing Team will
compete in 14 states from Florida to Oregon and Connecticut to
California. The races take place in 16 of the top 40 DMAs (Nielsen
Designated Market Areas) and within 200 miles of most of the top 40.
These markets are much more diverse than even NASCAR can offer. The
All-American Junior Racing Team will also compete in Mexico and
Canada. In addition we can state our Karting events nearly anywhere
in the world. Few other sponsor opportunities can make that claim.
- Media Exposure - Leveraging the one-of-a-kind exposure of the AAJRT
with a media plan that includes media races at many of our kart venues
will result in a significant amount of "free media" exposure.
- Patriotism - Beyond the desperate need to level the training ground for
American drivers, patriotism is often the fast track to marketing's
victory lane.
- Product Promotion - One of the key components of our driver
development program is the development of our driver's promotional and
media skills. Where else are you going to find
professionally trained teenaged product spokes people? These
kids will be well-spoken and at your disposal for television, radio,
print and web ads. In addition, they are available for
promotional events. Our drivers are kids you will be proud to
have represent you and your business.
- Client and Employee Perks - There are plenty of hospitality
opportunities at the AAJRT professional races (remember the
geographical reach of these events). We can fully cater paddock
lunches and provide one-on-one time with our drivers and team
principles. In addition, our kart team can host corporate
outings that will be something your clients and/or employees will
never forget. These are great team building and/or client
nurturing exercises.
Potential Markets - The sky is really the limit when it comes
to targeting markets for sponsorship, but there are few front runners
- The Teen Market - Teens have a tremendous amount of buying
power. They have a surprisingly large amount of money for discretionary
spending and they have a great influence over their family's spending
decisions. The teen market is expected to grow to 33.5 million
consumers by 2010. The typical 12 year old has $1,500 in discretionary
money and the typical 16 year old has $4,500. In 2003 teens
spent $112 billion dollars. The teen population in the United
States is greater than the population of 193 of the world's 227
counties. Clothing and electronics top the list of teen
purchases.
- The Auto Industry and Tech Market - These are traditionally two
of the most loyal motorsports sponsor markets. the auto industry has
its obvious synergies. The tech market is a great fit for the AAJRT
because it crosses over nicely with the teen market. Compared to
NASCAR, the individual buying power of the more affluent, higher educated,
and more diverse open wheel and sports car fan is significantly greater.
The cycle for the All-American Junior Racing Team is six years.
This is the time it takes for our rookie class to advance to the elite
level. Each year the sponsor's return on investment grows.
The Casmir Autosport Difference
Few other racing teams can promise sponsors competition in
four racing professional racing series spanning 14 states and three
countries. Few other racing teams can promise sponsors drivers who
are terrific teen spokespeople and teen role models. Even fewer
teams can promise all this for what is, compared to NASCAR, Champcar, IRL,
and Formula One a remarkably low investment.
