The SIG Sauer Carry Optics Division Nationals is back in 2024. Carry Optics is the most popular division in USPSA competition and this match was a huge success with over 500 competitors in 2023. Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this match! We hope that you will again support this National Championship, and partner with USPSA to promote your sponsorship through our social media outlets and print publications.
For accountability, we are using this online sponsor form only. This online form must be filled out if you wish to sponsor this event.
The ad for the matchbook, all donations, prizes, and merchandise are due to ship and active tracking info must be received by:
Due Date: May 25th
Cut-Off Date: June 1
(Please read below about cut-off date.)
May 25th is also the last day to submit this form. Please have prizes ready to ship and your matchbook ad ready if you are signing up close to the due date.
Match Sponsors will have the opportunity to place their supplied ad in the online Matchbook. The advertising in the matchbook will feature click-through links to your website and will be posted on the USPSA website, shared in our weekly Downrange email newsletter, and promoted on our social media sites. This information needs to be received no later than the due date above. We encourage you to provide us with any special offers or discounts to be included with the information we will email to registered competitors before the start of the event.
To maximize our social media presence and exposure for our match sponsors, we will share your provided advertisement on our social media pages. These pages currently have over 300,000 followers and have proven to be a valuable asset for reaching a qualified and engaged market. Sponsors will also be listed in the USPSA Magazine, available online and mailed to over 39,000 USPSA members, and featured in the Down Range Newsletter, which has a current subscription base of 85,000. "Shooting USA" will be at the match, providing televised coverage of the Nationals. We will also be providing live social media coverage during each of the events.
We will add your supplied ad or logo and tag your social media page to the USPSA Facebook page. Confirmed Sponsors for Nationals will also have their social media posts shared throughout the year when appropriate.
Once registration dates have been confirmed (currently TBD), they will be communicated to you. If you plan on having sponsored shooters use sponsored slots, please have them sign up (codes will be provided) before open registration, as the codes will be invalidated after open registration begins. If you sign up for sponsorship after open registration starts, we cannot guarantee you slots or squadding.
If you plan on sending sponsored shooters, please sign up prior to open registration to guarantee slots.
Important Notes:
- We will not be able to offer return shipments of banners. USPSA will retain the banners provided for future use. Please do not provide a return label for banners. This also ensures we have banners on hand for future events should any issues arise with shipping banners to an event.
- Banner shipment for all Sponsors is due two weeks after signing up, not when prizes are due. This is to ensure we have banners for set up and that banners are not shipped with prizes and subsequently misplaced. Please have the banner shipment ready when signing up.
- The due dates for prize shipments and ads for the matchbook are one month before the match (exact dates are listed above, are in the individual match forms linked above, and will be emailed to you).
- We must have valid tracking info and your Matchbook ad by these dates. If we do not receive a tracking number indicating shipment and your ad by the cut-off date/matchbook release date (listed above), we will be forced to remove the sponsorship, remove your ad from the matchbook, and will not be able to display any banners provided at the match. This is to ensure that the agreed-upon materials arrive in time for the event.
For signing up for the entire year, you may provide us with an ad that is one size up from the level you are signing up for. For example, if you sign up for Stage for the entire year, you may provide us with a One Full Page ad instead of a Half Page ad as a thank you for supporting USPSA for the entire year. We suggest including in your ad an announcement that you are sponsoring USPSA for the entire year of 2024 (which we will also announce) and thank you for your dedicated support.
National Sponsors Discount:
If you sponsor all of the USPSA Nationals and WSSC for 2024, you will also receive a "Nationals Sponsor Discount" of 25% off all digital advertising and 25% off magazine advertising based on your commitment with USPSA.
