Ratman Wolftever Demographic Questionaire. Need your help

[Kirk]

<font size="3">I am preparing a Sponsor Kit (presentation) that will be used to attract sponsors for the 2009 Ratman Wolftever Friday afternoon Tournament. One of the key areas that I will need to define is the demographic of the anglers that participate. (Who, what, why of the guys that are fishing it). This is very valuable to potential sponsors when they decide if they will sponsor and event or not. I am currently talking to three potential sponsors. If we are able to secure these sponsors we will be offering a guaranteed first place of $500 to $1000 each week. This is huge for a 3 hour dogfight. I need your help to make this possible.

<font size="3" face="comic sans ms,sand" color="#ff0000">If you fished a Ratman Tournament this past summer please take a few minutes and answer the following questions. (Your answers may help attract one or more major sponsor for 2009). These are very personal questions so if you don't want to air them on here just PM them to me. Your name will not be used and I will be the only one that sees it. If you would rather mail them anonymously that is fine to. </font></p>

<font size="3" color="#ff0000">I realize all this sounds sort of intrusive and personal. However, this is the type of stuff potential sponsors look at when they consider which tournament or event to sponsor. The more professional and detail oriented our presentation is the more likely we are to secure sponsorship. What this will tell the potential sponsor is that the anglers in our tournament are potential customers and worthy of our support.</font></p>

</p>

The finished demographic will look like this. (just an example since I don't have the information)</p>

</p>

<font size="4">The Ratman Wolftever Amateur Tournament Angler Demographics (2008)</font></p>

<font size="4">Angler Profile</font></p>

<font size="4">Average age 36.</font></p>

<font size="4">80% are married.</font></p>

<font size="4">65% have children.</font></p>

<font size="4">68% College Educated.</font></p>

<font size="4">80% have been fishing for tournaments for 10 years or longer.</font></p>

<font size="4">92% have internet access at home.</font></p>

<font size="4">60% travel 100 miles or more to fish tournaments.</font></p>

<font size="4">50% will purchase a new vehicle in 2009</font></p>

<font size="4">60% will purchase a new boat in 2009</font></p>

etc.</p>
