Sponsorships

Does BendPak Offer Sponsorships?

We get many sponsorship requests for BendPak and its affiliate brands. Every day, there’s another YouTube channel, Instagram influencer, race team, or automotive community member ready to spread their wings. We think that’s incredible—it’s the best time to be involved in the automotive community.

Unfortunately, we can’t offer sponsorships, discounts, or promotional packages to everybody. These types of deals are very rare, and each one is unique. Still, we want to give everyone a fair shake. Review the criteria carefully before inquiring, and check out the following Do's and Don'ts.

Sponsorship Request Do's

• If your numbers don’t match our expectations for a sponsorship, we encourage you to come back later when you’re a better match.
• Double-check that all information is accurate to the best of your ability.
• Understand that BendPak will reach out if we think you’re a good fit at the present time.
• Wait at least 6 months to submit a sponsorship request if rejected the first time. Repeated attempts in a short span may disqualify you from future consideration.

Sponsorship Request Don'ts

• Don’t lie, misrepresent, or "inflate" your follow/subscriber count. Doing so results in immediate disqualification for any future sponsorships.
• Don’t follow up via phone, email, or social media. We will contact you if we think you are a good match.
• Don’t take it personally if your channel isn’t ready. Keep building your brand—every successful influencer we work with succeeded because they never gave up.

To Seek a Sponsor, or Purchase Outright… That is the Question

Running a YouTube channel and maintaining an audience over years is a full-time job requiring 40–70 hours a week. Most successful partners aren’t in it for free stuff; they’re committed to their craft. Many young channels require investment, and once those investments pay off, opportunities may arise.

If you can afford to wait for a sponsor, do so. Most people need equipment to get their work going. Don’t hold off on making a purchase that will benefit your personal and professional brand. The BendPak Influencer Kit is something to aspire to, and if you meet the minimum requirements, you can count yourself among hardworking, lucky car enthusiasts.

Good luck, everyone. And don’t forget to have fun!
