SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Fisherman’s Post is looking to work with area sponsors to help make the inaugural year of its Inshore Challenge Trail a huge success. The Inshore Challenge Trail, hosting events from Morehead to Southport, will quickly become the area’s premiere saltwater fishing tournament series, and proceeds from the events will be donated to a non-profit in each tournament’s area.
The Inshore Challenge Trail is a series of five events—Wrightsville Beach, Southport, Morehead City, Carolina Beach, and Topsail—so sponsoring the Inshore Challenge Trail can provide your company with great exposure along the entire southeastern NC coast.
Each event will host flounder and red drum divisions, playing on the popularity of these species and the recent trend towards smaller boats and inshore fishing. Since the Trail is a product of Fisherman’s Post Newspaper, the events and their sponsors are guaranteed high visibility in front of this large saltwater fishing community—both locals and visitors alike—of North Carolina.
In addition, our tournaments are very popular in the fishing community, as we put great emphasis on providing our participants with a weekend of events (Captains’ Parties, Awards Parties & Dinners, Fishing Seminars, etc.). We also emphasize a family-friendly atmosphere (by encouraging junior, lady, and senior angler participation) and conservation (by bonus payouts for live weigh-in, releasing live fish, and donating live fish to aquaculture study).
Market your business, expose potential clients to your services, and create a favorable impression of your business by aligning yourself with this very popular and highly visible inshore tournament series (and the proceeds from each event will go to a great cause).
In addition to the different sponsorship levels to choose from, there are several other ways to get involved: donate prizes for the raffle; donate items for the captains’ bags; donate prizes for leaderboard payouts; sponsor one of the tournament’s special awards (ex. Lady, Junior, and Senior Angler); create your own special award (ex. SeaTow prize); or call us to discuss other possibilities.
And if you do not wish to sponsor the entire trail and feel it would be a better investment to focus on an individual tournament, then please visit that tournament’s website for information on sponsoring singular events.–
