9- Agri-Gro, a sponsor of the Firestone Indy Lights
team, Alliance Motorsports, utilizes their
partnership to invite farming companies, their
major target market, to the events with the clear
goal of increasing business with these firms. - During the event at Chicagoland, Agri-Gro invited
nine companies to be their guests during the
weekend. - After reviewing their fourth quarter numbers, it
was determined that eight of the nine accounts
grew their business nearly 22. - In fact, one company that was a guest during the
weekend went from not conducting any business
with Agri-Gro, to becoming one of their largest
customers. - Agri-Gro solely contributed the association with
the team and the events at Chicagoland with the
growth of the business and has since increased
their involvement with Alliance Motorsports.
