Sponsorship

We thank you for your interest in a PROBAR sponsorship. In order for your sponsorship to be considered we require that you follow the steps below:

1. Learn More About Our Sponsorships

We look at our sponsorships as bringing another person into the PROBAR family and expect that before you even approach us that you’ve already got great passion for our product. On the same note we prefer to develop an ongoing relationship with an event or individual sponsorship. Please consider you willingness to commit to this type of relationship before applying.

Though we’d like to sponsor everyone that submits an application we allocate our sponsorship budget as generously as possible. We’re honored that you’d consider PROBAR as a potential sponsor and will respond to your request within 90 days if we are considering your sponsorship.

As a growing company, most of our sponsorship budget is given as “in kind” product support rather than cash funds. Quite honestly, we think our product ranks right up there with cash. We hope you agree.

2. Read our FAQs to See if You or Your Event Qualifies

All Sponsorships

How do I go about requesting a sponsorship for an event or individual athlete?

First of all we want to thank you for your request! All sponsorship requests MUST go through the website or unfortunately they will not be considered, as we receive too many to keep up with otherwise. Thank you in advance for your understanding and we look forward to seeing your applications!

How long until I get a response regarding my sponsorship request?

Please allow 45 days for a response from our Sponsorship Team. We do receive a large volume of requests and it takes quite a bit of time to get through them. We do our best to get back to everyone in a timely manner, however, if you don’t get a response during this time frame we apologize, but we were unable to fulfill your request. If we’re unable to fulfill your request please remember to continue to submit for future events, as we hope to work with you in future!

Can I follow up with a phone call or email?

Feel free to email your follow-up questions to sponsorships@theprobar.com. This will go directly to our Sponsorship Team. Please don’t email any earlier than 4 weeks, as we probably won’t be able to give you a solid answer. Please refrain from calling the PROBAR office, as our office staff will not be able to assist you. Thanks in advance for your understanding!

What if my sponsorship has not been accepted?

We’d love to be able to sponsor everyone, but unfortunately can’t get bars to that many people. PROBAR, however, would love for you to continue to send in applications for your future events, as we’d love to try to get bars to everyone that we can throughout the year!

How competitive are PROBAR sponsorships?

As you know (or you wouldn’t be here J) PROBAR is a premium product with a wonderful following! We have a very competitive sponsorship program because we prefer to establish lasting relationships with people/events. Additionally, we receive a large number of applications on a daily basis.

Event Sponsorships

How far in advance should my event sponsorship request be submitted?

The sooner the better, but not years in advance. Event applications with less than a 90 day lead time will not be considered due to the volume of applications that we receive. Please remember that even though we do need a 90 day lead time we will not be able to answer you 6 months prior to your event in most cases.

What type of events do you sponsor?

We sponsor many kinds of events…running, cycling, non- athletic, you name it. However, we do like to develop an ongoing relationship with an event if possible. (2 years + minimum) Short term “one and done” type of event sponsorships are less likely to receive support than an existing event that has longevity. Events that are centered around a cause or a non-profit entity that is tied to our values of an active, healthy lifestyle is an ideal fit.

What kind of exposure do you expect in return?

We look for the most visibility from our involvement as possible, particularly online. This includes text links, logos on websites, e-mail inclusion, printed inclusion, etc.

What do you expect of the event and organizer?

Event organizers or the event itself should have an active website. If you maintain a blog, MySpace or Facebook profile for the event, it should be updated weekly. We expect the event organizer to be an existing customer.

Individual Sponsorships

What type of individuals do you sponsor?

We typically sponsor athletes but will consider non-athletes that appear to be a "good fit." More importantly we expect that you are a self promoter. Having a website, blog, MySpace or Facebook profile is just a start and if you have one or all of these they should be updated at least weekly.

What do you expect in return?

We expect you to keep us updated on what’s going on in your world. This will be done through regular contributions to our community by posting on our blog. Not a blogger? Don’t worry, we’ll train you. Creating visibility with the people that we sponsor, particularly online, goes both ways. We’ll blog about you and post about you on our site. We expect the same in return. This may take shape via text links, logos on websites, stickers on your car/gear/bike/, etc.

What do you look for in an sponsorship?

We look for a sponsorship to be impactful and lasting. We feel like those we sponsor will be part of the family. So what if you’re the most amazing trail runner to ever put on running shoes! Do you play nice with others? Are people excited to be around you? Do you leave the ego at home? Do you return e-mails and phone calls? This stuff matters to us.
