Profile: Crazy Sports

From time to time I like to share opportunities that are working and ways to approach them. With the Super Bowl just concluded now is a good time to profile a great niche business- Crazy Sports.

I stumbled upon Crazy Sports by accident just from knowing someone who knew someone else. That happens sometimes for those of us who keep our nose to the ground sniffing for new business. I was lucky enough or unlucky enough to find it in prelaunch. I say that because at that early stage you always have to take the good with the bad. There are always bumps in the road with prelaunch and if you are committed you have to weather them. If not you quit and just add to the failure rates we've discussed before. Needless to say, there were are lot of obstacles(programming,vendor delays, etc) but to the determination of the the founder and CEO, Craig Rehak, Crazy Sports is still going strong today after several years.

Crazy Sports offers a variety of officially licensed sports products and memorabilia for all the major sports, both pro and college. They also feature a selection of hard to find specialty items for the delight of the die hard fan. All items are customizable for your favorite teams. So, for example, if you are a Packer fan living in Tampa Bay you don't have to suffer searching aimlessly at the local mall for a nonexistant Brett Favre jersey.

Crazy Sports has an excellent attached business opportunity but I recommend this company more for its retail sales aspect. You can actually join the opportunity as A Free Agent for free. If you are one of those who wants to buld a sales team you can choose to upgrade to Minor League or Major League player later. As a Free Agent you can earn a percentage of every sale through your unique sales url. Not a bad way to accumulate some easy income for those looking for a solid business.

Sports is a billion dollar industry and online sales are a large portion of that. I have found that Crazy Sports works well in Pay Per Click promotions,portal sites,classified ads, etc.
