The FITES Staff is working hard behind the scenes to bring the details together for our next large scale event.
With me being the Sponsorship dude, I want to get you blokes the most gear, toys, swag, and general free stuff I possibly can.
So, please post your ideas for potential sponsors. If you've seen a certain sponsor at a previous FITES LAN, there's no need to suggest them here. We're looking for new, untapped resources that may want to hop on board and sponsor a killer event like this.
Links to websites work the best but if anyone has "in's" with a certain company/site (personalized contact info) feel free to drop a PM for privacy reasons.
Otherwise, show me das links!

Sigh...My old flesh light broke on me and I dont have the coin to replace it :bigcry:
-
Some things are best left unsaid.
-
Man. You broke it? Whatthe hell were you doing with it. I have had mine for years and still is fine.
-
all i want at the next lan is a flashlight.

Maybe it is best you stay away from actual women as well.
-
Capcom
manapotions.com - I've read it's like being on drugs, just without the drugs.
Taco Bell
3dRealms, but I'm sure they'll say they'll sponsor but just never show up
Just figured I'd brainstorm a few names.
-
Excellent! I'll add em to the list.
-
Mmmmmmm taco belllll
-
Axe Body Spray (or similar). No one wants to sit next to that guy who never showers.

It's not that he never showers, it's that he's just so vigorous with the fleshlight
How about:

We are.
-
I second Axe bodyspray!
Also, how about Redbull again....and maybe Jager? *licks lips*
-
Red Bull is already on our sponsor list as they sponsored us the past several events.
We want new suggestions, foos!
-
I would say 2502 Designs. But that is a once in a lifetime thing. I am sure Shawn would be up for painting another case. But her health issues concern me. I might donate another case. Have not decided yet.

Jager is a no no....no alcohol.

Jager is a no no....no alcohol.
But I would be glad to poop in a bottle for ya. All the taste without the alcohol!

Not to go too far off topic, for the record I don't drink: whiskey, gin, vodka, scotch, Jager, Rum, or Tequila for the Taste. I want to feel the burn. :angryfire:
Go get a wine cooler and eat some hippie bars (http://www.nutribiotic.com/fruit-snax-energy-bars.html) maybe they can be a sponsor.

Not knowing what a fleshlight was...I searched google images and found this (in addition to all the real FL pics):
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kXnVoQ9ZFkQ/SWqviCLweoI/AAAAAAAAGps/T8VyHupkryc/s400/lhc-fleshlight.jpg)
Large Hadron Collider fleshlight.
-
It accelerates your penis to 99% of the speed of light then smashes it into sub-atomic particles....COOL!
-
Im not sure if Bawls or Red Bull would insist on being exclusive but if we can get Tenticle Grape on board i think that would be RAWsome.

Also flesh lights are a little too far over the line if we will allow folks under 18 to attend, but would be legendary in the world of LAN party's if that happened, also wasnt there a motorized usb gizmo that was discussed as well?
-
Need more Tentacles!
-
How about Cocaine (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9156/caf-41/Cocaine_Mild_Flavor_Energy_Drink_Can_84_oz_-_Same_Caffeine_-_The_Legal_Alternative.html) *
I hear its a hellva...

-
All good suggestions. ThinkGeek is already on our list but hasen't responded in years past :(
-

newegg, best buy, eb games or gamestop, radio shack, turkey hill (donate some tea idk), maybe a local pizza shop (metros... ppl gotta eat you know), Maybe apple could chime in with a ipod or something.
-
or staples office max have some hardware based things they could give like mice and mouse padz. or maximum pc, umm... runin dry on ideas here... excitement video for those fleshlights cuz i know dave needs his fix :blue:.
-
Thanks for the ideas, nitro, but to anyone, please remember, coming up with ideas are one thing, but having a way to execute those ideas are another. Please keep in mind what Czar said in his OP:
Links to websites work the best but if anyone has "in's" with a certain company/site (personalized contact info) feel free to drop a PM for privacy reasons.
Otherwise, show me das links!
We can all rattle off a dozen companies without blinking, but if you have an "in" with a company in some way, that is the best (by a mile!) versus just trying the scattergun approach and contacting businesses cold.
-
but... but... scattergun means shotgun and if Doom taught us anything, it's that shotguns are cool.

Well, we can all point fingers, or some of us can do some leg work. Here are some links for affiliate programs. I assume they are mostly "web" affiliates, but it might assist getting a foot in the door.
Newegg (http://secure.neweggmall.com/Affiliates/SignUp.aspx)
BestBuy (https://signup.cj.com/member/brandedPublisherSignUp.do?air_refmerchantid=2045991)
EB (http://www.ebgames.com/gs/help/affiliate.aspx)
Radio Scrap (http://www.radioshack.com/affiliate/index.jsp)
Turkey Hill (https://www.turkeyhill.com/general/contact-us.asp) (Ice Cream?)
Apple (http://www.mdlottery.com/) (Good Luck)
Staples (http://www.staples.com/sbd/content/about/affiliate/)
Office Max (http://www.officemax.com/home/custom.jsp?id=m220013)

What about T-Shirt sites?
Spilt-Reason (http://www.splitreason.com/affiliate_register.php)
T-Shirt Hell (http://www.tshirthell.com/affiliates.htm)
T-shirts.com (http://www.t-shirts.com/pages/affiliate-program)
Cafe Press (https://www.cafepress.com/cp/members/join.aspx)
I can't find one for www.noisebot.com (http://www.noisebot.com)
There are more of course ...
My next suggestion is maybe have rotating banners so the home page doesn't look the side of a Nascar.

to be honest what ive done in the past is simply go to the local store of the company i want to sponsor my event and talk to the manager and believe it or not i was surprised at how many companies were willing to sponsor. Some did have to contact the district manager for approval but a week of waiting and i got my answer. I found applying on a site yields no results or even a reply most of the time but i did get nvidia to bite once.
-
Many of our sponsors do not have a local store... This is very true of the ones that actually reply/sponsor. I believe we have gotten more from non-local sources.
-
I see that Alienware is a sponsor for the GXL. And gamecorecon.com is also a sponsor of theirs.
