Sponsership??

b2ood · 13-07-10, 10:44 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this kinda thing, literally posted my introduction thread about an hour ago.

Anyways, in between posting my introduction and now i've been approached by 2 different people asking me to sponser them for an upcoming run they are doing. With the first person I said "yeah no probs, how much? £1 you say! Sure.................hang on - if you go to this link and sign up to a free DVD trial i'll sponser you £3!" No probs he said and he is going through the process as we speak.

I was straight in with the link idea with the second person. Although the 2nd person is costing me a jacket potato with tuna at the local cafe!! lol.

Not a bad return if i can cash them in for £17 each!

Thought i'd throw that idea out there

Not a bad idea.

As long as the gift doesn't foreshadow the cause of the run - then yeah go for it. =D

It is a good idea, a bit unethical in some regards, your meant to sponsor them as a gift, but hey, if it works, I may steal your idea ha!
