Feb. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Prep Sportswear, the flagship brand of Sportswear Inc and the largest e-commerce provider of customizable apparel for retailers, media properties, and school and collegiate athletic departments has launched two new social media programs: a company blog and a collection of Pinterest. “Behind the Line”, the company blog, shares information on product launches, new designs, website updates, and company news. The Pinterest presence enables the company to visually show new college and high school apparel and designs while enabling fans to share their favorite items.

“Social media is an important customer engagement vehicle for the Prep Sportswear brand,” says Dennis Wood, Internet Marketing Manager at Sportswear Inc. “We have a diverse online audience with specific interests. When not shopping, they are sharing and conversing about their favorite products. Our social media efforts help foster these conversations”.

In addition to the blog and Pinterest, the Prep Sportswear is actively using Facebook and Twitter as part of its overall marketing program. The company regularly posts promotions, product updates, and event information. Customers and fans are using the various social media to recommend new website content and engage with the Prep Sportswear team. Additionally, customers are posting photos of themselves wearing their new gear and sharing their favorite products within their social graph.
