So basically, you are looking for free publicity and "special" clients that can get your stuff at a discount.

Hang on a second...

I've never heard of the company, but they come on here and offer a few age groupers stuff at cost, and a few fast guys a chance to get some gear for free to help out their racing. Do you think the snide attitude is warranted?

If nothing else, I've gone on the website and will check out their gear. Nice to see a company giving a boost to the AG racers.

That's what I was thinking. If I am consistently top 5 overall at IM or HIM I'm pretty sure I would be pro and could swing better deals than that. That said these are some pretty good offers if you are not pro.

Then I have to ask, how many "sponsorships" are there in the industry?

What's your point though?

There are far more "sponsors" through heavily discounted merchandise than free swag.

Your arguing semantics

I have no problem with amateurs getting discounts; after all, this is their hobby. But companies should name this for what it is, a discount program. You are a good AGer, cool, we give you some freebies and a discount coupon.

Now, my big problem is about professional triathletes. They should be paid by the companies to use, promote, advertise their products. "Paying" them with discount coupons is a joke, it is ridiculous and offensive. Can you imagine this? "Hey, Cristiano Ronaldo, this is Nike. We would like to sponsor you; you promote our brand and then you can buy soccer shoes at a 50% discount. Pretty good deal, eh?"

this is not semantic. Words have meaning. 50% off on stuff is not a sponsorship, it's a discount.

So if you get 1 pair of shoes for free valued at $150, and then 1 pair at half off, is that sponsorship? Or is that "only" discount?
ETA: Or my point is, why are we discussing the term "sponsorship". Does it matter if you label it sponsorship vs discount program? It's sorta like okkkkk, who cares.

that's a pretty good discount. what did the company require you to do in return for the privilege of giving them $$?

You cannot compare any triathlete to what Ronaldo can bring to the table in publicity. Besides the pro sponsorship above clearly has a cash component. I am uncertain where this anger is coming from.

That was a deal one of my elite's used to have. He would get 2 free pair of shoes and 3rd at EP cost, all he had to do was put logo/link on his website. Do one "review" on the shoe and just wear them.

Seriously MAN! Why don't you think before you speak?

I am not sure if everything is right up there and I hope you do not work in accounting but if you feel that giving someone $1,000 to $2,000 worth of products and $ for good performance is free advertising. Perhaps you just can't qualify and are jealous of the people who can LOL.

Good Luck in in your racing and finding more companies who are willing to support grassroots athletes the way we have been for the past 10 years...

Thank you for recognizing this. Our company actually has been around for 10 years and we were the 1st company to make the original compartmentalize triathlon bag. Alot has changed since 2004 however we are still here and makign great products.

7 years ago I have moved to Shanghai and we have not been so focused in the US market however we are coming back to USA next year so look for us at the local races and check us out. I started racing in the 90s as a age grouper and I know how hard is to train and buy all the expensive gear. that is why we came up with this program to help talented age groupers and up and coming athletes :)

Free product is not a discount and premiusms as well. Only the 4th level is a discount and its a help for age groupers who are good since triathlon is an expensive sport and we want to the reward the talented age groupers...

very disappointing reaction from many age groupers in this thread. A company in good faith come here to offer a program.....read it, if you dont like it walk away. If you are a age group and qualify for a tiers in this program... it could be interesting and save you money.

And for a up and comer pro that doesn't have strong relationship establish with a company... this could be a first step into starting and growing a new relationship with a company.

good on rocketsciencesport to come here and offer this program....
