Sponsored Athletes

Thank you for your interest in pursuing sponsorship with Hammer Nutrition. Sponsorship proposals for 2012 will be accepted from September 1 to November 30, 2011.

We are a small company with a passion for ALL endurance sports and we want to support athletes, and the racing community in general, as much as possible. On the other hand, being a small company, we don't have unlimited resources and every year we receive far more requests for sponsorship than we can possibly fill.

Due to the tremendous volume of proposals that we receive, any that do not meet the requirements listed on this page and/or do not include the necessary information, will be discarded.

Please understand before submitting a request that the chances are good that we will not be able to say yes. Please try to be realistic in your expectations. We offer NO monetary sponsorships whatsoever. Our primary form of sponsorship is via varying levels of product discounts, clothing, and photo/editorial bonuses.

You don't need to be a world-class athlete to apply for sponsorship. We're looking to sponsor good quality athletes who are GREAT ambassadors in their chosen sport. Successfully representing and promoting Hammer Nutrition is done through personal referrals and retail encouragement, not just race results.

Requirements for sponsorship consideration:

• You MUST have an order history with us. We're looking to sponsor athletes that have a passion for our products with extensive personal experience and results using them.
  
  
  1. You MUST be willing to promote our products by eagerly talking to other athletes about Hammer and visiting shops in your area to encourage them to carry more Hammer Nutrition products.
  2. You must train or race in our clothing OR at least have our logo prominently displayed on your clothing, helmet, equipment, etc.
  3. You must use and endorse only Hammer Nutrition fuels and supplements. For your own integrity and ours, it is not right to endorse multiple brands of nutrition products.

Before applying for sponsorship, please read these limitations:

• If you haven't used our products before, do not submit a sponsorship request.
  
  
• If you have sponsorship from ANY other company that sells or markets energy drinks, bars, gels, supplements, etc., do not submit a sponsorship request.
  
  
• If you mix and match competitor's products along with Hammer products for your fuel and supplement needs, do not submit a sponsorship request.
  
  
• If you are an agent representing someone else, pro or otherwise, do not submit a sponsorship request.

How To Apply For Sponsorship:

• Your proposal needs to be in .doc or .pdf format and must include:
  
  
  1. Your complete contact information - name, address, phone number, email address, web site URL (if applicable).
  2. A letter explaining how you do/will promote Hammer Nutrition in your community.
  3. Brief resume/history or race results, primarily focusing on the 2010/11 season.
  4. List of the Hammer Nutrition products that you use.
  5. A very clear explanation of what you are looking for from us.
  6. IF you need an answer before 12/31/11, be sure to include the date by which you need a reply and we'll do our best to reply by then.

• The content of your resume/proposal is more important to us than presentation and it need not be formal or lengthy. We're simply interested in hearing about who you are, what you've done, what your future goals are, your experiences with our products, and how you plan to promote Hammer if your proposal is accepted. The shorter the better.
  
  
• We prefer to receive sponsorship requests via e-mail, but do accept requests via snail mail. If you do submit a resume, please do so via one method only, not both!

IF you are certain that you meet all of the above criteria, please submit your proposal to: . You will receive an auto reply confirming that we have received your request and we will respond formally sometime after September 1st and before December 31st, 2011.
