Become A Sponsor
Objective
Provide a fitness competition in Shreveport, LA for local and regional athletes to test themselves against some of the best athletes this sport has to offer. With the support of Shreveport Bossier Sports Commission, our event will bring local residents as well as out of town guests to the area for a two-day event. WODGODZ was the first and is still the only competition of this size and scope within a three-hour drive. Our target draw is a six-hour driving distance (approximately 300 miles) and will include friends and families of the athletes. We will have 300-500 athletes, so this translates to 900-1600 visitors in addition to the athletes. The exposure for the sponsoring client will be across multiple platforms of social media, print, video, and via our website. There will be significant exposure during the weekend of the event available.
Target Demographics
The WODGODZ target audience is male and female competitors ranging in age from 20-60 years. The athletes will bring an average of 3.2 “others” with them. This includes friends and family, support staff, trainers, coaches, and therapists. There are nine local “gyms” that engage in this type of training regularly with at least 100 members. Our polling suggests that one-third to one-half of these members would come as spectators, and likely bring at least one visitor with them.
