Growing up in New York, I not ever thought about marketing in athletic. Everybody there was either a Yankees fan or a Mets supporter. You always loved one and disliked the other, and so did your whole family. It was more of a tribal loyalty than a decision. The fact that, beyond the athletic events, there was another competition going on not ever occurred to me. I not ever thought about the fact that the teams weren't only fighting for victory, but also fighting for fans. Til I fell into a sports marketer position, I was pretty much unaware of how much capital changes hands behind the scenes. Professional athletic merchandising is a multi billion dollar niche, and it is growing each year. Most sports teams, in point of fact, earn more money off of selling sports garments than off of tickets!

Finding myself in an athletic marketing firm was a pretty odd development for me. In numerous ways, I don't fit in there at all. Although I majored in niche merchandising and advertising, I have not ever been a big athletic enthusiast. This placed me at odds with a corporation filled with athletic fanatics. Nonetheless, I have done my job pretty well. At the start, I was not up to date on the different teams. This made my athletic merchandising job tough, since I didn't know the niche! People expect you to be able to talk athletic with them if you're going to promote their teams. Even if you are an effectual marketer. If you can not talk shop and socialize with fluidity, it's difficult to keep your position.

Basically, I approached athletic merchandising like I approached school. I sat down and studied for weeks at a time. Soon, I knew more about athletic statistics than many of the most die-hard fans in the corporation. After them, it was simple. Good athletic teams sell them-selves, so it is just a matter of playing on existing brand loyalty. As for the lower ranking athletic teams, you can always play off of the underdog factor. There are some people who just love to root for a team that loses season after season. Merchandising athletic to these varieties of followers is a smaller trade, But what they lack in numbers than make up for in brand allegiance. They are the most dedicated enthusiasts in the trade. The only time when sports marketing is a tough sell is when a great team starts to slide. Abruptly, no one wants anything to do with them. The rest of the time, however, the job is pretty much a breeze.
