Site sponsors- Who would YOU like to see? (vote again 2)

Companies are in business to make money no matter what anyone says (I realize Greg and Ash and the others probably love what they do, but they wouldn't do it if it didn't pay the bills), money is made from bringing in customers, customers are brought in by marketing, if a company can't participate in marketing in its target markets it loses potential customers thereby losing potential profit. If a company is not allowed to participate in marketing to that particular market because of a certain product or product line they carry they will be more inclined to not carry that product or product line in order to be allowed to participate in marketing in a target market and as a result gain customers and raise profits. If retailers drop a certain product line, that product's producer fails to turn over a profit and closes or leaves a certain market which is the idea isn't it?

Gonna leave this open till tonight. I'll leave the thread open to convo and close the poll. I think we have a pretty good indication anyways of who we really want as advertisers on here. Get any last minute suggestions in.

Sounds good.

can we just add all of them?

I don't see why that woudl be a big deal. I rarely ever use the forum sponsors we currently have, and i'sd like to shop at all these places off of nico. maybe participate in gb's?

See, that's the thing. Not all of these companies are gonna want to pay for advertising, so we're not gonna pick up everyone we want. Also, on the flip side, Conceptzperformance, Zspeedperformance, and Powertrix are all aiming toward the same target market, so if all their competitors are sponsors as well, it may deter some guys from coming on board. It's a delicate game.

Aaaaaand opened the poll back up because I plan terribly and most places aren't open on weekends. From this point on, if there are any new suggestions, We'll just take them into consideration, and not delete the poll results.

that doesn't make any sense, that's like saying if coca cola advertises to people, pepsi won't.
if one company is on board, the others will be on board too, usually.
they can't afford to miss out on potential sales.

that being said, if i were any of these companies, i would have to weigh potential benefit to cost ratios, to see if it's worthwhile. some forums are more lucrative than others.

^ true but most of these companies deal with more than just Zs and Nico has a huge S-chassis population. nico is a good chunk of the market.

I'm pretty sure Enjuku won't let itself lose a market just because other niche companies are in the mix.

You really think i'd buy a s15 oem BB turbocharger at JWT or any other aftermarket company producing z parts? You might be insane. Their markup on some of their prices is ABSURD. The z is the only car I know that have these aftermarket manufacturers throwing around RIDICULOUS prices for rebranded and reclocked garrett OEM turbochargers in a package deal. talking 1000 dollars more in some cases.

If I were Enjuku, passing up The opportunity to manipulate this seemingly easy-to-manipulate niche market would be stupid.
