Discover our new e-commerce module, set to simplify and streamline merchandise sales for sports organisations.
We are incredibly excited to announce the upcoming launch of Sport:80 Merchandising - a brand-new, fully integrated e-commerce solution designed to help National Governing Bodies (NGBs) effortlessly create, brand, and sell merchandise through the Sport:80 Platform.
This transformative new tool is the key element to the ‘Empower’ pillar of our ‘Empower. Engage. Elevate.’ Q2 delivery strategy, and will be an extremely powerful feature that enables our community to generate additional revenue.
The module will be completely free for our clients to use, and will initially launch as a print-on-demand service giving NGBs access to a fully managed fulfilment system through our partnership with Kitlocker.
No upfront costs. No stock purchasing. No shipping responsibilities.
Here’s how it works:
- Choose your products – Select which items you want to sell from a curated range of pre-priced items, with shipping and logistics taken care of.
- Add your branding – Upload your logos and visuals, and leverage built-in AI-powered design tools to quickly and easily create great-looking merchandise.
- Start selling – Instantly publish your products to the Sport:80 Platform, where members can browse and buy.
This new module gives your organisation a seamless way to generate revenue, strengthen brand identity, and engage members - all without adding to your operational workload.
Additionally, if your organisation already has an agreement with an existing merchandise/sportswear provider (e.g. Nike, Adidas, New Balance, etc), you’ll still be able to take advantage of the module. You can either sell new, unbranded products, or we can help you integrate your existing partner’s stock into Kitlocker’s fulfilment system once the initial print-on-demand service has been set up.
Moreover, the Sport:80 Merchandising module will continue to evolve, and we are already working with Kitlocker on enhancements such as: adding the ability to create bespoke online stores; promotional offers and campaigns; supporting wholesale purchasing for events, teams, or programmes; and expanding access beyond NGB, enabling clubs and other organisations to take full advantage of the tools to grow their brand and generate revenue at every level of the sport.
Our agreement with Kitlocker is a truly first-of-its-kind partnership, and the merchandising module can be genuinely transformative for any NGB, making merchandise sales simpler and more accessible than ever before.
