What a busy week it has been!!!

Posted by john smith on

So what a first week it has been at Kick Off Merchant Towers.

We launched last Thursday and have been overwhelmed with the support.

Orders flying out daily, what excites us most is the engagement on Twitter – thousands of impressions, RTs and Likes.

Our World Cup of Kick off Merchants has proved hugely popular. Loads letting us know which players missed out. We are sorry but we could not add them all!

We are up to the semi final stage with Patrick Vieira taking on Duncan Ferguson in the first semi final

Semi Final 2 sees Norman Hunter face Stuart Pearce.

The final will begin on Sunday so ensure you are following us and back your man!

Two of our most popular products in the first week were the 1995 inspired blue lighting Arsenal cushion and a similar beauty for Sheffield United.

Due to their popularity, we decided to host a giveaway with a difference.

Instead of us deciding which cushion to give away, we give our Twitter followers the chance to pick the product. The Sheffield United cushion came out on top.

 

If you have not already entered, the competition finishes at Noon Saturday, so get following, get RTing. If you can not wait until then, the Sheffield United cushion can be bought here.

A few people have enquired about when their club will be included in the Kick Off Merchants portfolio. The answer is SOON.

We are working with some extremely talented graphic designers to ensure the products we are supplying are spot on.

Whether that is a mug, phone case, cushion or glass chopping board, it is more important that we get the design right than have lots of designs. We will be launching more products and clubs in the coming weeks, including kit inspired dog collars, bandanas, beach towels and more.

Our football flip flops collection is growing, and we now offer over 160 designs. With there being an outside chance of a summer holiday this year, we expect the flip flops to be a massive seller. Get in early!

Alongside the flip flops we also hope to have a collection of beach towels launching towards the end of April / early May.

Finally, we are starting work on our "My First Match" range.

When we were kids, it was framing ticket stubs and programmes. These days with most clubs having electronic membership cards and many lower league clubs no longer producing programmes, it has become harder to immortalise your first match (or that of your son or daughter).

We will hopefully help fill the void with our My First Match collection, starting with mugs.

At the moment we only have Premier League sides available, but in the coming weeks we will expand the collection to include Scottish Premiership and Championship, League One and League Two sides.

It will start with mugs, and then expand to other products.

So thanks again to everyone that has RT'd, liked or shared our posts. We should also be getting our Instagram and Facebook pages up and running in the coming weeks.
