Just an update...got this from a Donnay rep:
"The benefits of a Donnay sponsorship CAN be equipment at cost or no price, support for your playing career in the form of information and contacts through the company to reach programs and associations not generally known to the public, and tennis technical and strategic support for your parents when a tough decision has them hanging."

Hmm............you should try to pursue a Dunlop sponsorship. The only thing you're getting out of this is strings. You could get rackets out of it.
P
Parker512
Guest
You think they would give me one with no rank. Plus mantis is comeing out with raquets in the fall and i will get a discount for those. I will look into it thanks for the segestion.

R

Yup. They are easy to get, and talk to them, and get someone to see how you play, then they will offer you. They have good sponsorships.

why do you need a deal with donnay? your just going to have to spend more money...just stick with the racket you have..that would be my advice.
P

If i got a deal with the d squad would i have to use their stuff or could i use someone elses string.
R
rnrockz1
Guest
Yup, but its not worth it, I am ranked in top 20 in my section, and I still have to pay 350+ for it. Im sticking with Head
You would have to use their stuff. They might be flexible though...go for the DSquad, my friend says that there awesome company when they sponsor you. He is sponsored by them.

I would suggest use their stuff because thats the whole point of it. It'll be a waste if you buy the set then turn around and use something else.
I'd suggest use your own stuff or only get the dsquad package if you play or know you will stick with it

demo, all of your answers are a demo away
Really? That much? Did the CEO contact you by phone? Because he said he called my home phone and left a message. If the same happend to you then I'm guessing that I will get the same type of deal...
If this is the case; I am also going to stick to HEAD elite! More bang for the buck!

If you wanted you could submit to adiplayer you should get in with top 20 in your section. I think thats their requirements.

Sponsoring anyone other than a teaching pro that can directly impact retail purchases, or someone that can actually influence others to make purchases (only the very highest ranked juniors - top 5 section or top 25 national) is a complete waste of marketing resources.

in a sense.
But when they sponsor a jr they get so much money. Like a package cost 300 let's say. Well that jr is going to switch rackets and buy that $300 package. Yeah sure retail it may cost 500. But it doesnt cost the company 300 for those products. Its just that they could have made $200 more.
And the jr wouldnt even have gotten the $500 products because by being "sponsored" it is set in their mind that they are now a better player. So the jr takes the $300 package and the company still makes Money.
Now the jr has said company plastered on their racquet and shirts and caps and whatever else. So another jr will try his or her luck on getting the said deal. The jr wouldnt normally use so and so brand racquets. But since it's called a sponsorship abd its at a slightly lower price, the jr would then purchase said items.
So I don't think its a waste for that company to sponsor jr players that are not as gifted.
