What does that mean? Sponsored players will never pay the bills Sponsoring players is only beneficial to the field if: • They provide free/cheap labor • Reffing and helping customers • Cleaning up around field and not making messes • Fixing things that are broke and not tearing up • They provide free/cheap advertising • Talking to friends/family/school about playing • Promoting tournaments/events on websites • Presenting a good image/example at the field and events The money I lose by sponsoring you is written off to advertising budget, so you need to earn it.
Now Check out these Stats Money generated by rec. players Only 25 players per week paying full price • Field/air fees • $20 x 25 players = $500 • Paint • $4/500 bag x 25 players = $100 • Sunkist • $.30 x 25 players x 1 drinks = $7.50 Total = $608 x 4 weeks = $2432 Much closer to $2550! That doesn’t include the extra paint and air they will buy if they are having fun.
What does that mean? Rec. players are a necessity • They need to enjoy themselves • They need to come back • They need to tell their friends We all know how expensive paintball is and how many people play for a while and quit It’s crucial to constantly bring in new customers All these are true for tournament teams as well!
How do we do that? Make them feel great about their day! • Congratulate them on good moves/games • Squeegee their guns • Give them tips • Help them clean up • Learn their names, • Make sure they are having a good time • Let them know we’d love to see them again
