SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL
Proposal for Sponsorship of 2011/14 Toyota Tacoma
ATTENTION BDS Suspension
07/20/2015
Please allow me the opportunity to introduce you to my 2011/2014 converted Toyota
Tacoma and explain how my truck could add value to BDS Suspension products,
strategies and mission. I see my vision for my truck aligned with BDS Suspension by
creating an exceptional custom truck that is unique to the market, including only the
highest quality products, and sharing my passion and enjoyment for trucks with other
truck enthusiasts.
My vision is to create a custom truck that stands above and beyond any other Toyota
Tacoma inside and out. I have already begun creating the Ultimate Tacoma and
begun showing it at car and truck shows. This truck build was showcased at SEMA
2014 registered under General Tires and will be at SEMA 2015 in the Center Line
Wheels booth right next to the Baja 1000. I am an Infantry Marine Veteran, was a
MMA Fighter for the Marine Corps Fight Team, and my truck has a Zombie Assault
Vehicle theme. With my background, I wanted this truck to be aggressive as
possible. The Details of my Toyota truck thus far can be found in the attachment
labelled “Portfolio” of this letter if so desired.

If selected, how will I market BDS Suspension?
IN addition to my vision for my Toyota Tacoma, I would like share my passion for
creating the ultimate custom Tacoma by presenting my truck to trucking events,
engaging in internet presence, and entering into trucking forums to connect with
other truck enthusiasts. I am also the President of the LEVEL 7 Truck Club, a rapidly
growing club Nationwide with over 160 members who look to me for advice on their
builds. I am currently in school for Business Marketing and work as a Marketing
Campaign Manager. I also spent three years as a Marine Corps Recruiter, bringing a
lot of experience to market BDS Suspension products.

SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL
I would appreciate the opportunity to help market BDS Suspension at these events
as well as any other BDS Suspension marketing campaign. Also, in internet
presence, I would endorse BDS Suspension by creating positive testimonials on my
truck and club’s Facebook page and Instagram. I will tag and “shout out” BDS
Suspension in my Instagram posts. I have a large presence online and refer my
sponsors lots of business through social media.
Instagram: @level_7_tacoma <8k Followers and counting.
Truck Club: @level7tc <5.5k Followers and counting
This truck will be in Texas in good weather year round and around all the big truck
shows. With the new show season in swing, I will be working with current sponsors
and new, and will be attending more shows then listed. I can guarantee you this
truck will be in an average of 1 to 2 shows per month. As a sponsored truck I will
sport BDS Suspension Logos on the truck and will present any BDS Suspension
banners, flags, pamphlets, and products at shows you desire to help market BDS
Suspension at events.
Thank you for your consideration for being a BDS Suspension representative!
Respectfully yours,
Christopher Pate

SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL
Closing Remarks Now that the truck is almost finished and has been shown at
SEMA, I will be contacting editors to have the truck showcased in truck and auto
magazines to include Truckin’ Magazine and RECOIL Magazine after the new
additions go on to bring my sponsors more viewers and potential customers. I was
just contacted by DUB’s LFTD & LVLD Magazine to be featured on their magazine.
Their photographer spoke with me at the DUB show and told me the truck will most
likely land the cover. I hope you can envision this build with BDS Suspension as I
can! I take the show scene and the build of this truck very seriously and bring a lot of
business to my sponsors from shows and social media. Because I offroad my truck
as well, I can bring you people from both the shows and offroad scene as well as
from my club members and their followers. I am very eager to show you the clientele
I can refer to your company and the loyalty I have to my sponsors, and I would be
greatly honored to join the BDS Suspension team and represent BDS Suspension in
the Magazines and shows this truck will be in!
Thank you for your consideration!
