Sponsorship Marketing

M-4 Xtreme — Marketing and Sponsors Overview

Over the past 25 years in the
“Flight: Simulator Ride” industry there is one thing that stands out.

There were several locations including The Mall of America where I sold keepsake photos of the upside down point in the ride.
The overwhelming consensus was they would keep that photo forever.

If a business could attach themselves to an experience the customers would cherish and remember for decades, would that not be a good marketing expense?

Can you think of any better ways to physically influence a customer’s psyche than by giving them a full body experience?

“Put the right Marketing tools in front of the right Audience so they remember the brand as if it was Tattooed
on their arm!”

Airshow Xtreme Company Co-founder

Don’t worry, riders are getting that full body experience in front of “Your Brands”. Your custom designed motion ride films literary feel
like your brand is melting right into their brains!! ___AAAHHHH_________

Before

After

Imagine this…

Airshow Xtreme Company designs a custom ride film using your brand images and product designs…design a custom motion ride profile…OK you make PoGo sticks… well,
that is still not impossible.

Skateboards…sure, it will fly!

J.R. McDonald, my flight instructor, 72 years old in 1972 would race me to the Cessna 150 as he always encouraged me to never stop improving.

One of the pilots on the Military aircraft I managed, Col. Kenville would introduce himself…”I’m Col. Kenville, I make the impossible possible”!!
