What Import Crate Sponsorship Includes

Import Crate sponsorship is built around recognition, useful driver benefits, and opportunities that can grow through real participation in the car community.

We are not trying to create a sponsorship program based entirely on follower counts or mandatory monthly social-media posts. We want sponsored-driver status to represent a real relationship between Import Crate and the driver.

Current Sponsored Driver Benefits

Discount

15% Off Eligible Products

Active sponsored drivers receive 15% off eligible Import Crate products online and at participating Import Crate events and pop-ups.

Driver Passport

In-Person Sponsorship Verification

Your active CrateOnScene Driver Profile can be shown at Import Crate events to verify your sponsorship and access eligible sponsored-driver benefits.

Sponsor Identification

Official Import Crate Decals

Active sponsored drivers can receive official Import Crate sponsor decals in person at participating events or request them by mail.

Recognition

Visible Sponsorship History

Import Crate appears as an active sponsor on your CrateOnScene Driver Profile, creating a visible record of the sponsorship.

Opportunities

Booth-Car & Event Consideration

Sponsored drivers receive priority consideration when we need vehicles for Import Crate booth displays, events, shows, or special activations.

Content

Sponsored-Car Features

Selected vehicles may be considered for photography, videos, social content, sponsored-car features, and other Import Crate projects.

Some Opportunities Go Beyond the Standard Sponsorship

Certain drivers may occasionally receive additional support connected to a specific event or activation.

This could include product support, merchandise, special displays, event-related benefits, or other arrangements depending on the opportunity.

Booth placement, event admission, travel expenses, free merchandise, and activation-specific benefits are not automatically included with every sponsorship. If an opportunity includes additional benefits or requirements, Import Crate will communicate them separately.

What We Expect From Sponsored Drivers

Our baseline expectations are intentionally simple.

We expect sponsored drivers to maintain reasonably current vehicle information on CrateOnScene, represent Import Crate appropriately when identifying themselves as sponsored drivers, and remain reasonably active in the automotive community.

Individual events or special activations may have additional requirements.

Participation Creates Opportunity

The standard sponsorship establishes the relationship.

What happens after that can depend on participation. Drivers who continue showing up, maintaining their cars and profiles, and contributing to the community may be considered for additional Import Crate opportunities.

How Drivers Become Sponsored

Import Crate may open sponsorship opportunities connected to particular events or campaigns. Drivers can submit their cars for consideration through CrateOnScene when those opportunities are available.

We also periodically review Driver Profiles on CrateOnScene and may selectively offer sponsorship directly, even when there is no active sponsorship event.

Creating a CrateOnScene profile does not guarantee sponsorship, but keeping a complete and current profile gives Import Crate a way to discover and evaluate your car.
