Bottom line is that a company is not going to just hand out product to help you. That's not how sponsorships work. Any company will want to know that they are getting a return on the products/services they are giving you. Sponsorship positions are a form of advertising, and if a company cannot guarantee good exposure and future income from sponsoring you, they're just not going to do it. If you ever want to be considered for any sponsorships at all, you're going to need to be prepared. A full portfolio of completed projects, rendering of current project, formal sponsorship proposal, any past exposure (magazines, video features, advertising shoot, etc). Sponsorships are't just free candy for greedy kids...you've got to work for them..
