Promote Bows for Football Parties
Use Poly ribbons in team colors to decorate end-of-season football parties. After the busy holidays are over, customers will want to relax at casual parties with friends and enjoy all the play-off and bowl games. Be sure to have a wide variety of colored Lacquered and plain poly ribbon in stock to handle the rush. Keep plenty of solid ribbon bows in favorite sports team colors shown in your store for on-the-spot sales.

Display grab-and-go centerpieces in team colors for casual get togethers during play-offs, as well as bowl games like the Rose Bowl®, Orange Bowl®, and Super Bowl®. For college play-offs, consider contacting school booster clubs and athletic directors for decor or for fund-raising opportunities. Find more school-related designs on the Schools Marketing Ideas page.

Advertise in the newspaper to decorate for office luncheons and private Super Bowl parties. Sell centerpieces or other decor to sports bars that televise the games. If you’re close to a city where a play-off or bowl game is being played, contact:

• The stadium to decorate stadium boxes or party rooms
• Hotels throughout the city where game attendees
  will be staying
• Restaurants around the stadium
• After-hours clubs

Combine bows in team colors with football-related items, such as football balloons, honeycomb footballs, megaphones, and pom-poms. Use mascot items in your designs to personalize them for specific teams. Green Lacquered or Poly Spiked Bows are great substitutes for “turf” in party centerpieces. Take photos of your designs and display them professionally in a photo album or portfolio to show potential customers in your store or on sales calls.
