CASE STUDY: STATE WATER HEATERS:A Proven Formula For Success
Ward Gives His Sponsor State Water Heaters an On Track Presence Without Spending NASCAR Dollars
• Ward is currently the spokesperson for State Water Heaters, a company
who’s customers share a similar demographic profile to NASCAR fans: Blue collar people with strong American values.
• Ward makes personal phone calls, entertains customers at the track during races, and engages customers at Richard Petty Driving Experiences to
create customers from prospects
• Dealers are invited to racing and outdoor events where they spend a full, action-packed day with NASCAR driver and State brand enthusiast, Ward
Burton. The Sports Business Journal hailed this partnership between State, Ward and 919 as a “smart” and “unique” program.
• “Burton enables State to deliver that race-day experience at the track with a noted driver” – Sports Business Journal, 2009
• “With Ward, State gets him all day. It’s like instead of going to watch Michael Jordan play basketball, you get to sit next to him during the game.” – Sports Business Journal, 2009
