Our First Round Picks in the NCAA Product Draft
It’s been a couple of months now since we launched our new NCAA Collegiate product line for this year. With any new crop, you may have questions about what is selling, so we wanted to share with you our top 5 most sucessful new items so far in the Evergreen Class of 2010.#5 – Air Dancers
These inflatable characters allow anyone to express their inner “crazy college fan” outdoors. Made of durable nylon fabric and complete with accurate helmet graphics, they include a blower motor and stand 8 feet tall when inflated.#4 – Cork Boards
Great for dorm rooms and offices alike, our cork boards make great practical gift items for someone who needs a place to get organized and show their school spirit. About 1 inch thick including a sturdy wooden backing, they are cut to the shape of the logo, which is applied with screen printing. Create a display with a small amount related school memorabilia on the cork board for best effect.#3 – Photo Frames
What better way to showcase fond college memories than with a photo frame that prominently features your school colors and logo? The 20” x 20” wooden frame is about 1 inch thick for a solid look, and it includes 3 openings for 4” x 6” photos, complete with glass and hooks for hanging.#2 – Feather Banners
Borrowing from our years of experience with flags, our new feather banners are the perfect outdoor display of loyalty to the home team. The 28-inch embroidered applique banner includes a sleeve for attaching it to the included metal garden pole, as well as tie-down laces to secure the banner, which is double-sided so that the logo reads correctly from either side. Put a row of these on display for an eye-catching effect.#1 – Coir Mats
The hottest new NCAA Collegiate product of the year, our coir mats are proving to be a runaway success. Made from woven natural coconut fiber with a recycled rubber backing, these mats blend eco-friendly materials with durable construction and will do an excellent job at trapping dust and dirt to keep it from entering a store or home. Going a step beyond our standard coir mats, the logos on all of our Collegiate coir mats are applied using black flocking, which gives each finished product a soft feel and a rich look.Combine these great-looking and great-performing coir mats with a decorative rubber frame, with an inner tray that will hold all our standard coir mats, and help them remain even more secure.
The true top of the heap, as always, is our industry-leading appliqué flags, available in both regular size for display on houses and garden size for display on yard stands. We offer a flag for nearly 60 schools, more than any other product. As a category, they’re a safe bet and a great starting point into the league of NCAA product.
