Adidas. Nike. Right Guard. Spalding. Connor Sport Courts.
All major brands. All have realized the positives of partnering with iHoops.
These companies have the vision to recognize the benefits of teaming up with the new leader for youth basketball. And now, your company can find out, too.
iHoops' mission is to establish a structure and develop programs to improve the quality of youth basketball in America in order to enhance the athletic, educational, and social experience of the participants.
Major brands can endorse that mission through sponsorship of iHoops.com sections, taking part in iHoops programs, events and contests, and other great opportunities.
The iHoops online basketball audience (which includes iHoops.com and eteamz Basketball) is now averaging 2.5 million page views per month and has approximately 300,000 unique visitors per month. Our dramatic growth since launch in November 2009 is anticipated to continue throughout the next year and beyond.
iHoops also has taken advantage of an innovative social media strategy, which has resulted in close to 70,000 Facebook fans. We are adding about 1,000 fans per day.
iHoops.com has proven to be a very sponsor-friendly site and we strive to fully integrate our partners into the site, not just run a series of banner ads.
