I have been showing my automotive dealers a moving product I picked up that display
college floor mats. As the dealers are eager to increase sales and will try
anything new; the program has been a winner. There are so many pro and college
football fans and they love to embody their team. Face it we all have automobiles and
mostly have inferior auto mats. I live on the coast so we are constantly tracking
sand into the car. These college mats collect the sand and I just pull it out and
empty it.
I am a University of South Carolina Fan and live in Charleston. The Carolina floor mats are the big seller along with Clemson mats. But what surprises me is the request for New York Yankee floor mats and Boston Red Sox mats. Their is such a movement from the north to live in SC. But they still love their teams. I even sold an Ohio State floor mat the other day. who would of thunk it!
The popularity also is found in the pro floor mats. You cant throw a stick without hitting a
Dallas Cowboy fan. myself am a New Orleans Saints fan. Go Saints! It was tough spending several years in Atlanta with the Falcons there but we are talking about allegiance to your team. Their is a force for winning teams when they are doing well.
I think all sports marketing works that way. Just look at Miami with Lebron coming. The T-shirts, cups, and especially jerseys are flying off the rack. I need to get the Miami Heat floor mat down there.
With football time of year right around the corner sales should be good. I know I cant wait. As America is hoping the home team will plow through the season and win every
game we all know they will not. The beginning of football season is a
special time for all sports fans. We get with our friends and start talking about the
newbees and if they will be a factor to the team this year. The scary part is just hoping our second year players don't get the sophomore jinx. Being a Carolina fan we reach for any excuse to why we are not playing at the top of our game.
Fantasy football geeks are a funny bunch. I have played before and it is fun but man are
you glued to the ticker at the bottom of the TV screen. If the Green Bay Packers score was that your player that ran the ball in or passed for a touchdown? That is what makes fantasy football fun. We drink way to much alcohol on draft night but i am not telling you anything you don't already know. It is fun to play with acquaintances.
I hope you enjoy this season this year and I am sure we will be strapping in soon. Kiss the wifeand say your sorry early; and when she asks why just say "first game is Thursday night"....
