If you're selling football uniforms, set aside a prominent place in your apparel or football section to display them. You'll want to stock a selection of brand-name football uniforms that will appeal to players at all levels to avoid sending your customers to your competition. It's also important to go after the market for local youth league uniforms.

Set yourself apart from the competition with a large inventory of football uniforms and exceptional customer service. Train your employees so they're knowledgeable regarding football uniforms information; in addition to being knowledgeable about fitting football uniforms, they should know what youth league jerseys you carry and what additional equipment and accessories are required for each local team.

1. Make sure your football uniforms list includes a full selection of uniforms for adults.

2. Stock children's football uniforms as a part of your inventory

3. Choose a football uniforms provider that offers good sales terms.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Include adult football uniforms in your inventory

Stock plenty of locally required football uniforms for adults that include uniforms for every body shape and size. Carry a wide selection of size L, XL and XXL for men and sizes that start at small and extend to larger women's sizes so you can outfit anyone who chooses to participate in football regardless of their body type.

I recommend: Contact wholesaler Bomark Sportswear to buy every brand and size of football uniform you need. Or sign up with Augusta Sportswear for an impressive selection of football uniforms straight from the factory.

Buy football uniforms for your smallest customers

Take into account the smaller members of your clients' families and provide the kids with the football uniforms they need to play the game. Keep the quality high and the prices reasonable, since kids outgrow their uniforms and need them replaced seasonally. Keeping a diverse selection at reasonable prices ensures customer loyalty.

I recommend: Bakka Sports makes several styles of youth football uniforms; sign up to become a dealer. Also contact Sports Belle, a company that manufactures a wide variety of football uniforms for kids.

Find football uniforms providers who provide you with good terms

Create a long-term partnership with football uniforms providers to negotiate the best terms possible. Discuss bulk rate shipping discounts; also ask about how you can become recognized as a preferred customer to qualify for more discounts.

I recommend: Cisco makes and sells football uniforms and provides free mockups and swatches; fill out a short form to get started. Get in touch with Teamwork to find out about their policies and prices for buying direct or becoming a retailer.
