I want some acoustic foam from a shop called Stagebeat which I want to use in my next build it costs £9.49 for two sheets of 480 x 520. I want 6 sheets. How do I ask them on the phone? Will I need to add advertising to my case and make a build log to mention them? (i thinking of a build log anyway). This is the first time I've asked for advertising and haven't done any case modding before so I have nothing to show them. I plan to watercool the components so this will be the whole hog nothing half asked. What do you think?
How do I get a shop sponsoring me?

You probably won't get anything.

What makes your next build so much better than every other paying customers?
No , just give them your credit card details like every other person does.
LolI wonder if OCUK will give me free stuff if I put their logo on the side of my case
I'll make a case in the shape of the letters OcUK if they sponsored me
There is a standard form you'll need to fill in which covers exactly the scenario you are describing. You'll need to send it off to the 'Bureau for Free Provision of Soundproofing Materials to Consumers Building a PC in their Bedrooms.
Seriously, you'd be amazed how commonplace this query is. It's up there with the little advertised but greatly required driving lessons for goldfish scheme.

A shop is a bad place to start.
You want 6 sheets @ £5 / sheet.
They are re-sellers as they don't directly manufacture - They sell on for a small margin of profit.
Say they make 50p per sheet profit.
What you are asking is the profit from the next 60 sheets that they sell, that could be months of selling this item.
In return for what ?
Sponsorship is very hard to get.
Direct manufacturer sponsorship is what you should look at imo.
BUT, You need a track record to show that you're not just blagging a freebie.
I'm on my 3rd case mod, my last one has appeared in CustomPC magazine, but getting sponsorship is still very difficult.
I've had a total of 4 sponsors over my last 2 builds. In return i feature them in build logs, that seem to attract a reasonable audience amongst fellow modders, and likewise a resonable advertising return for these companies.
The product must be relevant to the audience.
You must have a history of complete projects.
Be prepared to hear nothing back from most companies.
Good luck.
