How much exposure can Trunkmonkey Racing provide for my brand?
Our goal is to promote your image and to inject your brand as widely as possible into the extreme motorsports community. In addition to the thousands of spectators and hundreds of drivers at motorsports events each year that will see your brand promoted on and by our race car, service trucks, and service crew, you will also be showcased on official team and crew member Web sites, team press releases, Web forum and discussion group postings, and team promotional material and event documentation.
And the exposure doesn’t stop there! All team vehicles that carry your brand are rolling billboards that not only promote you during peak commuter traffic hours but also park in high-profile areas in and around Northeastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Even the race car gets street driven on a regular basis and routinely gets shown off at local motorsports and car club events, gatherings, dinners, barbecues, and—most importantly—scenic drives and cruises.
Investing in a campaign with Trunkmonkey Racing guarantees wide brand distribution among a diverse community of loyal enthusiasts hungry to purchase products and services from companies that support local motorsports teams and automotive organizations. From handing out samples and literature to crew members actually using your product in the day to day operations of the team, your brand recognition will grow among the community.
What about word of mouth and online promotion?
The Web is one of the hottest things to happen to motorsports promotion in recent years and has allowed millions of spectators and automotive enthusiasts Worldwide to publish personal multimedia-rich Web sites and Blogs. Both spectators and professional and amateur journalists alike take thousands of photos and hundreds of hours of video each year at motorsports events and club gatherings and create stunning Web sites showcasing the best of their photos and videos.
In turn, those photos and videos then get downloaded by motorsports fans and posted Worldwide to motorsports news and automotive club Web sites, Web forums and discussion groups, and forwarded via e-mail to friends and family. Dedicated fans with video production experience will even take that content and then create short music videos for other fans to download and enjoy.
