Business Overview
Schools, sports associations, and sportsclubs can all be potential customers for a business that specializes inretailing team uniforms. Millions of people across North Americaparticipate in amateur sporting events such as football, baseball,hockey and soccer on a weekly basis.
Almost all of these sports teamshave one thing in common: The members of the teams dress in a uniformthat represents the team. Selling team sportswear with logos, names andnumbers printed on the clothing items is a very easy business to getrolling.
You can purchase equipment required to silk-screen andembroider the athletic wear, or you can subcontract this element of thebusiness out to established silk-screen and embroidery companies andconcentrate on marketing. Gaining customers can be as easy as creatinga catalog of the team uniforms that you stock and setting appointmentswith decision makers representing the sports teams to solicit business.
