“It’s a no-brainer.”
See Why Easley Baseball Club Loves Team.Shop.
The Easley Baseball Club in Memphis, Tennessee outfits dozens of teams and hundreds of players each season, a daunting task made easier by Team.Shop. As Memphis’ top baseball organization, the club now uses Team.Shop to equip more than 25 teams of various age groups with everything from custom uniforms and apparel to on-field products like EvoShield protective gear, Wilson Pro Stock® baseball gloves and Louisville Slugger and DeMarini baseball bats, all at team exclusive pricing.
“It’s a no-brainer on the products provided, all under one roof, under one team store,” said club founder Ed Easley. “I’m very thankful to have the partnership and provide these discounts for our families.”
Easley, a former professional baseball player, founded Easley Baseball Club in May 2017. The club has maintained its original logo since its inception, but Easley works with Team.Shop designers to modernize the uniforms every year.
“It’s been pretty consistent since day one,” Easley said of his organization’s branding. “I sent in what I had originally from year one, and we just make it look a little fresher every year.”
The refreshed branding is showcased on EvoShield uniforms, practice apparel and fanwear including jackets and tee shirts. The Easley Baseball Club Team.Shop typically includes about 60 apparel pieces at a time, all branded with one of the organization’s several logos.
“They’ll put the logos on different apparel and then give me the ability to proof everything before the store goes live,” Easley said of Team.Shop. “I am particular about the way things look and what items I want in the store. This is just another reason why it’s so valuable.”
The customer service part makes my job easier, my workload easier so I can do what I do best and focus on the players.
Players who participate in the spring season with Easley Baseball Club will typically order three uniforms. To complement their gameday uniforms, Easley Baseball Club players can use Team.Shop to order training tees and training shorts. Parents can show their club allegiance with items like shirts, hoodies and other apparel available in men’s and women’s styles. When families place an order, Team.Shop processes all payments and sends the shipment to their doorstep. Easley cited the “convenience factor” as a major benefit of Team.Shop.
“The Team Shop is something that I couldn’t imagine running my business without because of the direct relationship my clients can have with the Team Shop. They swipe their credit card and the orders show up right to their front door,” Easley said.
Prior to ordering uniforms and apparel, the organization welcomes Team.Shop representatives for a fitting day in December. Shortly after fitting players for uniforms and apparel, Easley Baseball Club’s Team.Shop opens for orders. Players and their families place their orders around the new year, ensuring Team.Shop can manufacture and deliver uniforms before the start of youth seasons at the end of February.
Team.Shop also grants players year-round access to baseball’s best on-field products like EvoShield protective gear, A2K® and A2000® baseball gloves and baseball bats like the Louisville Slugger Meta and DeMarini Voodoo One. On-field equipment is available in the Year Round shop so players can order at any time.
“Players love it,” Easley said. “We love representing the brand on social media and different things, and we hope that can continue for many years.”
I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to run a successful baseball or softball organization.
