CORONA, Calif., June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC
Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in the design of
custom vending machines and kiosks announced that the company
sponsored Jimmy Fishback Racing Team scored an impressive
2nd place finish in the recent Lucas Oil Off-Road Series
race.
With many of the major brands in America now sponsoring race
teams, including Sprint, Nationwide Insurance, Bank of America,
Coca-Cola and Coors Light, AVT jumped on board to help build their
brand and continue to position itself as the leader in the
automated retailing industry.
Fox Business News states that about 23.4% of Fortune 500 brands,
or 117 total, are involved as a sponsor of NASCAR's sanctioning
body, teams or tracks, or as a licensee or media partner - up from
20% last year.
"The growth has been tremendous," said Brian Young, Vice President of Global Sales
Operations for 3M, which has been a NASCAR sponsor for 25 years.
"It's an attractive place to spend our money," Fox reported.
The New York Times reported that one of the biggest benefits of
sponsoring a race team is gaining business from other businesses.
"One of the highest returns for companies' investments actually
comes not from consumers but from other companies," they wrote.
Sponsors typically drive business to one another, often with
tremendous results. Mark Dickens, a
U.P.S. spokesman, said that when the company first became a sponsor
it conducted business with only 40 percent of the other sponsors,
but increased that to over 90 percent today.
Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both
who raced the Mickey Thompson series, Fishback is one of the
nation's up and coming drivers, racking up victories that span
multiple race categories over the past 10 years.
