Did you know...
That there are an estimated 50,000 stores across the United States carrying officially licensed collegiate products and that sales of those products generate approximately $2.8 billion in collegiate licensed retail sales.
That the demand for collegiate product stays constant year round as the collegiate calendar, both academically and athletically doesn’t have a down time. Partner this with the fact that there are more than 29 million college alumni in the U.S. workforce and new college fans entering campuses across the country each year and it is easy to see why college merchandise sells year-round rather than during a particular season like many of the professional leagues.
That royalties generated through the sales of collegiate merchandise go back to the colleges and universities for scholarship and university development opportunities.
These are some of the reasons why SMA is dedicated to maximizing sales of officially licensed collegiate products by expanding the product selection available through retail outlets and increasing the number of retail outlets, while ensuring the long term brand success for each institution's licensing program. If you are a retailer and are interested in finding out how SMA can assist you in growing your business through the sales of collegiate licensed products, contact our office and let us show you how SMA can work for you!
