Sponsors - United Bimmer Community

**komodo** · 04-28-2005, 10:13 AM

You guys have probably noticed the new banner at the top of the site... haha, thanks MPerformance for being the first official sponsor of United Bimmer.

We currently have two, MPerformance and *snipped* (setting it up soon). The revenue our sponsors bring in is currently used 100% for marketing purposes. For example, this will help pay for free decals for all the members and for us getting banners placed on sites like Turner Motorsports and BavAuto (already have one being setup on *snip* in the next few days).

Some things we will NEVER do on United though is:
-Popup Ads (ohgodpleaseshootmenow)
-Contextual Advertising (those annoying green links that infest posts)
-Annoying Flash Ads that invade the website, scrolling/floating around the website
-Any kind of ad with sounds
-Any kind of ad that expands with a mouseover

Let me restate that all the money we're bringing in is going 100% toward getting new members and building the community.

We also are in talks with another 5-10 sponsors. Wish us luck. haha

Keep up the good work. Good to hear that all the $$ is going towards a good cause.

Hey guys, make sure you visit the Sponsors and check them out, we want to do whatever they can to help them out, as they are helping us out.

If you are ever in the market for new parts, make sure to check them out first.

Nice! that's so cool. this is how a forum site should be. well done. And that'll really get our name out to other people's in our towns!

This thread went a bit off topic into the decals, so I split that thread off into a Decal Brainstorming thread in Site Feedback. Link: http://www.unitedbimmer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610

Anyway, we just got accepted into the affiliate program at Tire Rack. If anyone clicks on the banner and buys something, we get a percentage commission (I think 6%) on the purchase.

So if you're ever in the market for some tires and you're gonna use Tire Rack... get to their site through our banner so we get a kickback.

Indeed, this is great news. MPerformance, and Umnitza...not small sponsors by any means. This is awesome.

**Rooz** · 04-28-2005, 04:23 PM

**Live_the_Curves** · 04-28-2005, 04:28 PM

word. and let us know about the decals dude

**komodo** · 04-28-2005, 04:30 PM

Hum, the Umnitza sponsor was a misunderstanding between me and David.

We are probably getting jlevisw to sponsor us, that looks promsing.
Currently we just have MPerformance and TireRack.
Umnitza hasn't replied to our last email yet.

And we're still waiting for a few responses from other companies.

**Torque** · 04-28-2005, 04:47 PM

Any plans for UnitedBimmer items such as thongs ?
