Tige on the Race Track

[jeanw]

For all you GT race fans out there. Thought you'd like to see one of our European Tige importers whose second career is a "world-class race car driver".

Looks like the Tige' Spray is on the drivers side hood up near the wind shield (?)

Jean,

All this advertising is jacking up the prices of the boats. Not sure if this is going to increase revenue for Tige. This may work with the motorcross crowd but I don't think it will work for the race car crowd.
What kind of MONEY is Tige spending on this advertising?
I can appreciate Tige looking for different types of people to buy their boats but not if your prices are going to get jacked up so high that it is going to make these buyers start looking at the other builders.
Be careful or this could bite you right in the @SS.

from the looks of his suit it looks like he would take any sponsor he could get. whatever tige spent looks like it was a good deal. their guy is on top of the podeium(sp) and they got tige center mass for the camera.

Appears to me that he is race car driver who is promoting his own business, thus increasing export sales for tige.

Export sales are important for the boat business right now because the Domestic sales are gone. If it keeps going this way for another year they could be gone for a very long time 3 - 5 years is my thought.

However great Advertising JEAN I like the logo front and center. But for some reason I am thinking McDonald's has a larger pocket for sponsorship. At least I would hope that is the case they are a global company with a store every mile down the USA freeway system. Keep at it I am sure it will eventually pay off. Just be careful so TIGE and stay around for a long time and get through this tough economic time.

That was my guess.

tthrg is right, since he is a Tige importer the advertising doesn't cost Tige. he is a world class champion spreading the Tige name world wide.
