Launching a trading card program at your school is easier than you might think. With the right plan in place, you can have a fully functioning program up and running in no time, generating excitement among students, parents, and fans. From selling cards at concession stands to setting up online sales, we’ll guide you step by step through the process to ensure your program is a success.

Step 1: Simple Setup for Your School

The first step in launching your trading card program is providing us with key details about your school’s teams and athletes. Once you supply this information, our design team will work on creating custom trading cards that showcase your athletes in their best light. You’ll have the opportunity to choose from various templates, include team logos, and even feature action shots, all of which make your trading cards unique.

Step 2: Decide How to Sell the Cards

Once your trading cards are designed and printed, the next step is deciding how you want to sell them. Schools have multiple options, including selling cards at concession stands, booster club events, or even online. You can sell the cards at school games and events, where parents and fans are already gathered, maximizing your sales potential. If you opt for online sales, you can reach a wider audience, allowing distant relatives or alumni to purchase cards as keepsakes.

Step 3: Timeline for a Seamless Launch

Launching a trading card program doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Once your school provides the necessary information, the design and printing process can take just a few weeks. From there, you’ll be ready to start selling the cards and raising funds for your athletic programs. We provide you with a clear timeline for each step, so you’ll know exactly when to expect your cards and when to start selling.

Step 4: Maximize Sales with Strategic Tips

We also provide strategies and tips to help you make the most of your trading card program. Whether you’re selling at events, through booster clubs, or online, we offer guidance on pricing, promotions, and even social media marketing to boost sales. With a well-organized approach, you can turn your trading card program into a significant fundraiser for your school.

Step 5: Engage Your Community

One of the greatest benefits of a trading card program is the way it engages your entire school community. Students love seeing themselves and their teammates on collectible cards, while parents enjoy purchasing keepsakes that celebrate their child’s achievements. The excitement around collecting and trading cards can quickly spread, making your program a staple of school spirit.
