Who would you like for a sponsor?

Greetings from your Marketing Director....

Sound off on who you might want to see a sponsorship/discount from? Curious what you guys are interested in for 2015

Peter Noyes · January 7, 2015 12:08PM

Any way to get Gatorade cheaper would be great!

Kerrie Freeborn · January 7, 2015 12:15PM

Under Armour would be great.

Coach Rich · January 7, 2015 12:34PM

My wishlist:

Hoka shoes
Cervelo
Speedfil
Zipp
Reynolds
Profile Designs
Garmin
Gatorade
Bonk breaker or whatever solid food you guys are using on training rides. I'm typically sponsored by king size Snickers at gas stations, or frozen bagels stuff in my pocket before a ride
Strava
Whatever bike box people are using these days
A national hotel chain / group

I agree with many of the suggestions set forth above, but most of all, I'd like to see equipment sponsors, as Rich suggests. While certain retailers are great, it would be better in my mind to get deals on the equipment we use from manufacturers. I am on a mountain bike team and we have bike and component sponsors and get pro deals on all of the stuff, which are fantastic! That said, with a diverse team like this, there is no way every team member would be on sponsor gear, which may be an issue in obtaining such sponsorships.

Garmin - so many products to choose from
Hoka
Bonk Breaker
I also like the Hotel chain idea.

kimmydct · January 8, 2015 2:46PM

Turtle Wax... Ya know, cuz I'm slow.

I second Under Armour. If it weren't for them, I'd be runnin nekked!

Steve Ross · January 8, 2015 3:42PM

If I were to peg it down to just one item, because we do a lot of traveling to do races in differ parts of US and Canada I would like a major Hotel chain as a sponsor !

Mariah Bridges · January 9, 2015 3:38PM

Just FYI We have running warehouse for shoes and InsideOut Sports has a lot of nutrition you can purchase- has anyone tried using those for those products? Also infinite we have, unless you are experiencing issues with the code.

Scott Alexander · January 14, 2015 10:46PM

I was picked up as a Nuun Hydration Ambassador this year, so I can connect you there! They're my sole hydration product (even before I was picked up by them)!

Mariah Bridges · February 2, 2015 4:28PM

Im a busy hunting down rabbits---- uhhh sponsors lol check out the latest!

AWESOME SPONSOR ALERT: Ok folks you asked and we deliver.... Ruster Sports is now a sponsor on the team and offering a kickstart discount off their Armored Bike Case for the next 3 months to EN- DONT MISS THIS!

Dave Tallo · February 11, 2015 8:24AM

Louis Garneau would be nice. The go-fast aero gear they produce is top-notch.

Mariah Bridges · February 11, 2015 8:56AM

@dave- thanks I put it on the list, see what I can do!

Todd Bray · February 13, 2015 10:34AM

My wishlist:

Newton
DeSoto
Trainer Road
Strava
First Endurance

Mariah Bridges · February 17, 2015 11:36AM

@Todd I will work on those but in the meantime you can get a discount on newtons at running warehouse and inside out sports also has first endurance with free shipping over $50 FYI

Stephanie Hartmann · February 17, 2015 2:26PM

SciCon bags. No more bike boxes!

UCAN, Energy Bits, Vespa, CEP, all3sports.com, NUUN, Headsweats, Saucony, Cycleops, Trek, Garmin, Feetures, Thorlo (I go through a lot of socks), Flipbelt, shimano (tri bike shoes), FINIS, profile design (wet suit), TREK, Addidas Boost

That's about all I can think of. Oh...if I have to eat something traditional, classic Power Bars. YUM.

rlh2000 · March 3, 2015 1:44PM

Is there a new Tri Bike Transport code? The current info doesn't work. Thanks!

Mariah Bridges · March 3, 2015 1:51PM

@ Rachel - I will alert when its fixed- thank you!

Mariah, Rachel, et al,

I specifically asked my TBT folks (I'm sponsored by them this year) about discounts for tri clubs, and this is what they told me:

"What we’re asking from tri teams in 2015 is that our logo be on their kits in exchange for $40 off transport for all team members"

I wish you luck if you can get them to sway from this new philosophy!

Mariah Bridges · March 5, 2015 1:15PM

@rachel---- @scott is correct and they will not change their policy, I will be working to find an alternative but in the meantime I urge you to consider the Ruster Sports promo going on for the next two months ONLY to EN athletes, would save you tons of money in the long run and money in the short run!

MissyG · March 5, 2015 1:39PM

Hi Mariah,
Glad you are the Captain of this group! I volunteered at last years IM CHOO race and remembered seeing your smiling face and feeling your energy at the finish line for several hours. Glad to be a part of the team this year!
Is there a list of EN sponsors?
Thanks.

Mariah Bridges · March 5, 2015 3:09PM

@Melissa Thank you for the kind words! See you at CHOO again this year (Race captain to CHOO also) There are a list of current sponsors. Click on "STORE" at the top of the page, then "TEAM DISCOUNTS" you will see what we have so far, if you are looking for something specific, feel free to reach out I might be able to hunt it down for you within our current sponsors, or you can make a request on this forum for me to try and work out. See you soon!

How about SBR Sports? I may have a connection with that one.

Who would you like for a sponsor?
