So you've been paintballing for a while now and need some Free Paintballs. I mean, yeah, they get expensive after a while.

At the very least you need some Cheap Paintballs. Luckily, there are ways to achieve both. This can be done via sponsors.

Now you're probably wondering what we mean by this.

Well, when looking for sponsors you should be telling them both what you need from them and how helping you will enhance their business.

During these negotiations, you should bring up the fact that you could really use Free Paintballs, or at least some financial help with them if nothing else.

In return you will assist their sales by advertising their company when you go out in the field, to Paintball Tournaments, etc.

Do keep in mind that all of this will require being on one of the many Paintball Teams that are available. Without one, your chances of getting a good sponsor (or any sponsor at all for that matter) are significantly decreased.

Now on to actually requesting a sponsor, and explaining your needs. You'll want to follow these steps:

• Look for local businesses that you think would mesh well with your theme. Depending on your logo and team name, this will be different for every team. You will want to avoid the larger, more well known paintball companies until later on though since other bigger teams usually get chosen first.



• Clearly state what you hope to obtain from the company. Work towards balancing things between both you and them, but always ensure they are getting the better deal. In this, explain how their (hopefully small) costs will benefit them in a much larger way.



• Contact multiple places about sponsorships. By selecting only one, or just a couple, you are limiting your chances at successfully getting one. You want to have your options open so you can pick the best fit for you.



• Try to design some Paintball Logos ahead of time so you can negotiate the looks. They do not need to be on your equipment yet, but you want to at least have some ideas down on paper. These can help mediate between you and your potential sponsor by allowing you to both get your views out in a graphical form.

Once you have a sponsor you are good to go. You should be able to get help with at least some finances, and as time goes along and you prove that your mutual relationship is in fact benefiting them, it may increase! Enjoy your Free Stuff!
