You have probably read in the past from a few of my posts that I would like to travel more. I received Get Sponsored a while ago and hoped it would provide more inspiration to set foot on new adventures and possibly provide information on how to fund exciting excursions.
The author, Jeff Blumenfeld, is an adventure travel specialist who has represented some big name companies such as 3M, Coleman, DuPont, Everready, Konica, Land’s End, Orvis, Timex, plus more. In Get Sponsored, he shares ways you can approach companies like these yourself and score sponsorship for unique adventures that may take you all over the world.
Blumenfeld warns that it is not easy to have someone pay for your dream trip, but that you can position yourself to raise thousands of dollars in products, like equipment, and cash for newsworthy projects. You must still do your homework to have a chance at succeeding with a pitch.
Get Sponsored shares some awe-inspiring stories of historic and recent adventures. Blumenfeld also provides realistic tips from the experts to help persuade businesses to fund your new adventure. Since I am now a mom taking on the responsibility of caring for three young children, adventure seeking travel isn’t my forte now. It may have been fun to apply this book when I was in my 20’s. Get Sponsored is still a fun read for even someone like me by imagining the triumphs and tragedies some of the travelers featured in this book experienced firsthand.
