If one has written a book that the main 'character' is product (a car), can you ask for sponsoring? |
can i ask for sponsoring from their ad company if i have written a book (fiction) that the stories are based around a certain product (in my case, a car). is that odd or doable? it is clever or lame? i didn't do it on purpose but it dawned on me since all the stories have to do with ppl and that particular car that is like advertising that model. what do you think? should i make my move or they will laugh at me? Well you are certainly a smart marketer in my "book".... I say go for it! So what if they laugh at you? Doesn't hurt to try, and if they do agree, then you will be the one laughing all the way to the bank! Even if they say no now, if your book starts to do well, they may be clamoring for the rights later on. It would be a good move on your part to start a professional relationship early on. Good luck! KK i think so! have you ever watched a movie and the only soda they drank was coke? and they even panned to the can while some one was taking a long refreshing swig? one movie i saw they panned to the brand name of a sports car and left it there foreve i am sooo sure they got paid for that1 even herby the new one is all about volks wagon i am sure then got paid for that! if anything you need permission from the company to use the name of the car before you sell your book. if you cant get that try to pick a "fake name" like instead of being a tubo Porche say make it a turbo zoomer or something if u plan to publish your editors would know what to do and the pple in the marketing end good luck! i would go to about.com they have a writers section If the character of your car actually captures the character of the brand you think, you can approach them. >>Have you watched 'Cars' - cartoon movie where all characters are cars. Quite entertaining. |
