FAQ about Creating an Online Team Store
| Why
open an online store? |
|
MBM
Sports is offering a free online service that allows teams, leagues, schools
and organizations to create their own team stores. Web stores allow your
members to purchase customized apparel and fan gear 24 hours a day. Just
choose the items you want to be listed on the site and MBM Sports will
do the rest. |
 |
| What
is my first step? |
|
A representative of your organization contacts one of our experienced
sales reps to inquire about opening a web store. We will then discuss
with you proven and successful items which you can sell on your web
store. Artwork and logos will be developed to create custom merchandise
unique to your store. Next, a buying window (usually 2 weeks) will
be determined by your organization. After this period the store will
“close”, members orders will be grouped together for decoration purposes,
and then packaged for delivery usually within 3 weeks of the store
closing. |

|
|
| What
does it cost? |
| |
MBM
Sports will open your online team store at no cost to you. We will
set up your store, list the items for sale, produce the items, monitor
sales and deliver the items to your organization. |
|
|
| What
can we sell? |
MBM
Sports sales team will help you design and create custom apparel
and equipment for the site. We only use high quality products from
manufactures such as Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, Jerzee, and many
more. |
|
|
|
|
Can we fundraise? |
| |
Absolutely…
It’s simple and easy!
Our sales team will help you through the process.
-
Choose an item to be listed on the web store and MBM will
determine your cost.
-
Now add your “profit” to this item.
-
At the end of the on line store MBM Sports will issue a REFUND
CHECK to your organization for the “profit” portion of the
selling price for each item on the store.
FUNDRAISING
WAS NEVER EASIER!

|
|
| How
do we collect payment? |
| .Your
web store is completely secure and safe allowing your members to
pay directly by credit card. After shopping they will be taken to
their shopping cart where they can review their order and check
out. After checkout they will receive an email confirming their
purchase. This process eliminates the responsibility of your organization
of taking orders and collecting money.
|
|
|
|
| What
about delivery? |
| |
MBM
Sports offers three delivery options for you to choose from. Once
your organization decides which delivery option is right for you,
it will be posted on your store site and all of your members will
use that same option. All orders will be delivered to your organization
with 3 weeks of your closing date.
- Deliver
your items in bulk to your organization free of charge where
you can sort and distribute them to your members.
-
For a fee of $2.50 per order which will be incurred by the customer,
we will sort/package your members orders and deliver them to
your organization.
-
In the near future we will be offering the option of having
the customers orders shipped directly to them for a flat
shipping fee.
|
|
|
| How
do we promote our online team store? |
Promoting
your store is one of the most important things your organization
must do! MBM Sports can advise you on a number of ways to promote
your web store both electronically and traditionally.
-
We
can supply you with a template that can be distributed to
your prospective members via email or as a flyer.
-
We
can “link” your web store directly to your organizations web
site so your members can easily find the web store!
