We love what we do at Sports Image® and are happy to have made such positive impacts on schools and organizations nationwide.  Here is a nice word we received from one of our sponsors in Virginia and his thoughts on high school sponsorships.  Thanks to Tom and Joe Carmichael, VA, for representing the values of our company in their hometown.

“I am writing to fully endorse the sponsorships that CJW Sports Medicine has committed to through Sports Image.   It is great to have our name in front of the high school sports event’s attendees every time they come to an event at the schools we have sponsored.  We cannot help but to be proud when someone calls or comes in and says, ‘We saw your company’s name on the scoreboard at school and decide to call!!’

Tom Carmichael, our sponsorship rep., has been great to work with and has made doing these sponsorships easy to do and very accommodating with assisting us with billing.   If you have the opportunity to do one of these sponsorships, you should do it!!  It helps the schools AND puts your name in front of all that attend, every time they attend.  It is NOT like program ads that they may never see, but everyone in attendance needs to look at the scoreboard all game long!!!”

Take a look at the new scoreboard that James River High School, VA, is the proud owner of thanks to Tom and Joe Carmichael of Sports Image®.  James River High School is excited to put their new board to use this upcoming football season and we are excited to be part of such a great contribution.  Thanks to Tom and Joe for their hard work and for all the sponsors involved!

Congratulations to Sussex County Technical High School, NJ, for being the recipient of a $3,000 revenue check from Sports Image®.  Our revenue sharing program is another great way we strive to pump funding back into athletic programs.

Here is a great article on high school advertising and how it has taken a turn toward digital media to help bring revenue through the door and offset the costs to play.  This is another great way Sports Image® can help your school or organization nationwide.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — NFL quarterback Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to a huge upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the wild-card round of playoff games, but the real winners of the game were likely the ad sponsors featured during the well-viewed game.

We came across this article and thought it was a great example of what we try to accomplish here at Sports Image® in taking the pay out of play.

Bradley Kerley and his team, TX, did a great job representing Sports Image® at the recent Texas High School Coaches Association Convention in San Antonio.  Over 12,00 coaches were in attendance, making it a great opportunity for Sports Image® to connect with schools across the state.  Way to go Bradley!

The franchising industry is the doorway to a world of opportunity. Thousands of franchises offer countless concepts, all with varying startup costs. And while many require a storefront and overhead expenses, a large number of them – ranging from commercial cleaning to dance fitness lessons to windshield repair services – can be operated right from home. Home-based franchises are becoming viable options for business ownership, enabling many new franchisors to grow their businesses more effectively and many more franchisees to get involved in the franchise industry.

The popularity of home-based businesses has been growing for a while now. Home-based entrepreneurship has become so common, in fact, that those running businesses from home have earned their own title, “homepreneurs,” and have become significant pillars in the economy. According to a recent survey conducted by Small Business Success Index and analyzed by Emergent Research, there are currently about 6.6 million home businesses nationwide that generate at least 50 percent of the owner’s household income. These businesses employ over 13 million people; 35 percent of them generate more than $125,000 in revenue, and 8 percent generate more than $500,000.

Our CSO, Ares, decided to pop in to make sure we were keeping on target and focusing on our goals this week.  Luckily, only a few pink slips were handed out during her patrol.
