Gaps or Gates?
Gotta Get Those Sponsors
So, you won a few competitions. Congrats! Does anybody know besides the crowd that witnessed it? Not unless you let the rest of the world know. Maybe you got a spot in a film (let me guess, hip-hop music?). You need to put your best foot forward and a great way to do that is to showcase your accomplishments and potential online. Next time you contact a potential sponsor, send them a link to your site and you'll see great results.
How Do You Reach The Kids?
So, you love winter sports action so much you are pushing winter sports gear. Hardgoods or softgoods, we're experienced. We understand that selling skis isn't like selling carpet. It's not about the product, it's about the industry. It's about what your brand represents and who you rep. Rughster Design understands putting product in a setting that is conducive to both sales and image.
Interested in World Domination?
We do big business as well as catering to the local ski shops. The majority of our clients are local, but that doesn't stop us from diving into some bigger accounts. If you're a global winter brand you'll be in good hands with a firm that undertands the winter sports industry.
Past clients include Marker, Volkl, Head & Ski Racing Magazine
