NEWS UPDATE: Autopia Sponsorship Now Being Offered!!!

[David Fermani]

I’m pleased to announce that after several long awaited years, Autopia.org has decided to reintroduce sponsorship to our detail community. This will mostly be open to resellers and manufactures associated with the auto detailing industry. We will initially be offering 2 forms of sponsorship at this time. The 1st, which is our entry level sponsorship, will be in the form of a clickable company banner ad that will soon be located on the side border of each page. Viewers of Autopia will be able to view and click this banner and be brought directly to your company’s home page. The 2nd form of sponsorship will be a uniquely named and dedicated sub-forum in the sponsored area exclusively for the discussion and advertising of your company’s products. In this area, members affiliated with your brand(s) will be granted access to discuss and give technical support. Members will be able to get your special interaction to gain the most accurate and mainlined technical information direct from the source! Please keep in mind, that due to forum rules and in the sake of the sharing of unbiased information, sponsors will not be permitted to give technical support to their product(s) outside of their sponsored area. Reason being we don’t want manufacturers giving input in the general areas of the forum where they weren’t directly asked and permitted to give their input. This will reinforce the preservation of an unbiased workflow that this forum is re-founded on. We feel that if someone wants your input, they will be able to freely ask for it in your individual forum. We would like to continue to remain focused on the beliefs that have made Autopia so great over the last decade, which is its members asking and giving their unbiased input. Sponsors and non-sponsors will continue to be allowed and encouraged to openly discuss any and all things besides this proprietary dialog anywhere else throughout the rest of the forum where they choose. To reiterate, the main reason why the administration chooses to curve these discussions is to continue to keep the workflow of this forum as unbiased as possible. *The administration reserves the right to use their discretion in a constructive manner in the best interest of the forum*. Bottom line, we wish to preserve the integrity of Autopia and keep it the most non-bias detail forum on the net. Any and all questions and comments are encouraged. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss how a mutually beneficial relationship can be acquired.

Wow! That`s an amazing stat! So many web-surfers getting lost!

Shouldn`t you let them answer technical questions regarding their own product? i mean they are the ones that made it and know how to use it. tbh that is a really stupid idea if u don`t let them.

Did you read the explanation the OP gave?

aparently not...

David, if I were not retired and out of power at my old company, I would particpate in a second!

Unfortunately, I, as an individual being retired and limited income, can not do so.

I do recommend that any real, honest and ethical company that provides products to the industry should take part.

I think this is a great idea. Looking forward to having more sponsors.

Thanks MM. We`ll be announcing our 1st sponsor very soon. Stay tuned...

Agreed. This place is a funnel of information.

Thanks for this incredible endorcement Ron as it goes along way in my book. We would certainly love to have AI in our portfolio. Probably one of the most powerfully informative companies in the industry while at the same time flying way under the on-line detail forum radar. It would be nice if they could have a banner here so more people could see their name and be more familiarized with their web-site/services.

[C. Charles Hahn]

Very cool! I think this will make for a welcome addition to the community.

[Brad B]

I think our clientele is ripe with opportunities for new sponsors. Promotions, announcements and special buy offerings can really do well here. I hope many take advantage soon.

Change is good.

I find that hard to believe.

[MarcHarris]

Awesome! Look forward to seeing some good companies jump on board.
