Tell us about your sponsorship program:
We have several sponsorship programs for all levels of athletes. Our grassroots program is designed for the up and coming athlete. We offer our grassroots sponsored riders great discounts on already low priced clothing . The athlete can then afford great clothing while biulding a relationship with a company that can only help them down the road.
Our full sponsorships provide free clothing and gear to the athlete that we think is on the way up or has already reach the next level.
Is there anything unique about your program? Why would someone want to be a part of it?
You Scared? is fresh and unique. We're fresh because we are somewhat new on the scene! We are unique in that we do not claim to be more than what we are; which is a clothing company that just asks a question.
Why would you not want to ride for You Scared?
Be unique and rise to the top with us!
What do you look for in a sponsored athlete or team?
1. We look for athletes doing their thing! We don't care if you are competing as long as you are doing what you love to do.
2. Professionalizm. We have been somewhat easy on this in the past but we are about to change this around. Answer all of our questions with thought. Not just "Send me some free stuff dude". That will not cut it! Also, do not even bother to apply without a full profile.
3. We want to be represented! We want the sponsored athlete to promote You Scared? After all isn't that what it's all about
It really all comes down to the athletes attitude, doesn't it. If the athlete is serious about what they are doing it will show. If they are not then that will also show.
What is the most important information for someone to include in their application?
Results, if they have them. We do not want to see results from 3 years ago. Photos and videos. Please note. We will know if it is not you in the photos and videos. Answers to all the question WITH correct spelling. After all this is a business.
What is the most important thing for people to understand about sponsorship?
That it is not all about getting free stuff. It really is about what the athlete can do for the sponsor as far as promoting the company. The company is investing money in the athlete in hopes that it will pay off in the future.
Every company has a different method for how often they review applications. Do you have a methodology or schedule?
We are going to set it up so that all new applications will be gone over at the end of the week. We will then respond on the following Monday.
