Full-size custom basketballs are excellent end of the season gifts for basketball players. Give these basketball spirit items out at your end of year banquet as a reward for a hard played season. The time you hold a basketball training camp, be sure to give out play quality custom basketballs at the end of the camp as a gift to remember (and promote) your basketball camp.
No matter what form of marketing you use, it works best when it invokes a feeling and tells a story. In the promotional products world, there are few things that invoke “fun” and let you create a story, more than a custom full-size basketball because nothing makes you want to play with it more than a basketball.
When someone puts a basketball in your hand, or you pick one up, instantly, you either dribble it, take a pretend shot, or you pass it from side to side, rotate it with your hands. It’s difficult not to want to play with a basketball, so imagine how much attention a custom full-size basketball would get? Even better, they made a good promotional gift all year long.
Custom Full-Size Basketballs Are Great For:
- Basketball Tournaments
- Basketball Camps
- NBA, WNBA and College Level
- Junior High and High School Basketball Teams
- Sports Bars
- Fitness Clubs
- Physical Therapists
Basketball Tournaments
From March Madness to the NBA finals to the local community basketball tournament, custom full-size basketballs offer a terrific branding opportunity and the perfect promotional gift those competing, as well as those that are fans in the stands.
The possibilities are endless for co-branding opportunities and make more of a memorable impact than a banner or a note in a program, which are both often immediately forgotten the moment you leave the premises. Offering items in a pop-up retail shop for popular tournaments brings even more ways to brand the teams, the tournament, and offer fans a souvenir they’ll want to use.
Even more than that, though, custom full-size basketball being shared on social media and from publicized photographs of the event have the potential to reach thousands more than you estimate when you purchase them as a promotional item.
Basketball Camps
Fundraisers
Basketballs camps for up and coming athletes can be expensive: from travel expenses to room and board, to hiring the best coaches possible. Consider the people most likely to give to a young athlete interested in attending basketball camp. These are the people that are going to remember giving a gift, every time they play with their own custom full-size basketball.
Swag for Attendees
While we’re at it, let’s not forget about the attendees. Just like with tournaments, a custom full-size basketball allows attendees to feel appreciated and practice all of the techniques they’ve learned over the course of the camp. But, even more than that, with sponsorship opportunities, getting a ball into a young player’s hands gives the opportunity to make a fan of your brand for life.
NBA, WNBA and College Level
Free with Purchase of Season Tickets
Whether you’re a team that has a few Larry O’Brien trophies to display or it’s been a while since you’ve made the playoffs, incentivizing fans to purchase season tickets gets more difficult with each year.
Let your promotional gifts help you. By not only offering fun swag items you’ll ensure people want to share their items on social media, driving more fans to get in on the action.
Sell in Stadium / University Gift Shops
Pure die hard fans of any sport love to own as many branded items as possible. Customized full-size basketballs are a no-brainer to keep in stadium and university gift shops to ensure fans can readily purchase items that they
Junior High and High School Basketball Teams
Fundraising
Just like basketball camps, being on a basketball team can come with some hefty expenses, including travel and room and board to away games. A successful team has the pleasure of needing to raise even more money as it moves up the latter to local and state championships. Custom full-size basketballs make a terrific fundraiser because you could always use an extra basketball, right?
Graduation Gifts
Graduating from a youth league or from junior high or high school is a major accomplishment. Players earn a special gift to make them remember their time in the spotlight and what could be a greater gift than a gift they’ll use for years to come?
Sports Bars
Showcase your new sports bar with custom full-size basketballs, whether you give them out at your own grand opening celebration - or even better - sponsor a local adult league, you’ll be sure that the word gets out to the people most likely to patronize your business.
Make sure you also keep March Madness and the NBA and WNBA All-Star and Final games fun with your own tournament, complete with your own custom branded full-size basketballs.
Fitness Club
Opening your own fitness club or gym is expensive. While you want to ensure you keep costs low, customizing full-size basketballs with your logo helps cut down on your members mistaking the balls for their own.
Physical Therapists
Custom full-size basketballs can definitely have an impact for physical therapists. Whether you’re wanting to highlight National Physical Therapist Month in October or rewarding a client after weeks or months of their own recovery, custom size full-size basketballs leave a terrific imprint wherever they go.
Types of Custom Full-Size Basketballs
Brands
There are very few categories where branding is so popular as in sports merchandise. Potential clients and prospects know the brands they love and suspect those they are unfamiliar with. In the promotional products industry, premium branded items have a higher perceived value to your customer, making them an optimal choice when you wanting to make an impact.
While we are unable to offer Official NBA Spalding Game Basketballs (at a cost of $140 each!), we are proud to offer custom full-size basketballs by terrific quality brands Wilson and Baden.
Rubber
