Brand Tone

Empowering, Supportive & Easy, Enthusiastic & Fan-Oriented (indirectly), Direct & Informative

Brand Values

• •Athlete Empowerment: The core of their mission is to help college athletes benefit financially from their NIL.
• •Accessibility & Opportunity: Providing a free and easy platform for athletes to create and sell merchandise.
• •Entrepreneurship (for athletes): Enabling athletes to build their personal brand.
• •Partnership: Positioning themselves as a partner for athletes in their NIL journey ("We work with you").
• •Simplicity: Making the process of launching a merch line straightforward.

Best Practices

• •Prioritize the Athlete's Benefit: Always frame messaging around how Stadium Merch empowers and supports the athlete in their NIL endeavors.
• •Use Clear, Action-Oriented Language: Employ direct verbs and straightforward calls to action (e.g., "Launch Your Collection," "Get Paid," "Promote Your Merch").
• •Maintain an Encouraging and Positive Voice: The journey into NIL can be new for athletes; the tone should be supportive and optimistic about their potential.
• •Emphasize Simplicity and Ease: Consistently highlight the "free" and "hassle-free" aspects of the service to remove barriers to entry.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Clearly communicate how the process works, including how athletes get paid and what Stadium Merch provides.

Social Perception

For Athletes (Inferred): Likely perceived as a valuable and straightforward opportunity to engage with NIL, especially given the "free to start" model and full-service support. The platform seems to be actively onboarding athletes, as seen on their social media. For Fans (Inferred): Likely perceived as a direct way to support their favorite college athletes. The appeal would be the authenticity of the merchandise being linked directly to the athlete. General Public: Awareness is likely still growing. The NIL space is relatively new, and platforms like Stadium Merch are part of this emerging market. The common name "Stadium Merch" might also lead to some confusion with general sports apparel retailers.
