THS Advisory Services providing insurance and investment products
Stadium blankets, including licensed College and Pro teams
Consignment equipment available for purchase
Saginaw Spirit merchandise and game tickets (under negotiation)

Can You Help Us Raise $20,000 To Do This?
Our initial marketing plan to ensure long term success will include the following.

        Weekly flyers delivered to the Saginaw Bay Ice Arena, Bay County Civic Arena and Midland Civic Arena for each team playing and participating in hockey of which the target market exists highlighting team discounts, technology that the competition does not have, specials, service promotions and any other limited special buys that have been acquired by The Hockey Shop.  Additionally, firm, set hours will be adhered to so as to be open and available to serve the tangible product and service needs of the hockey community.

        Sharing of technical knowledge and expertise to each team and their families to further drive service opportunities which will lead to increased tangible product sales of which the competition has no knowledge.

        Contract with the Saginaw Spirit, a local Ontario Hockey League organization to sell and market their merchandise on a consignment basis and potentially open a ticketing outlet for home games.

        Establishing a stadium blanket division primarily focused upon online sales consisting of sports themed blankets as well as licensed College and Pro sports teams.

        Aggressive promotion and marketing of our products and services on the internet via auction sites such as E-Bay driving traffic to our website and physical location and search engine optimization to drive additional sales.

        Media outlets such as NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox as well as radio and print targeted to prospective customers will be approached on a local level to begin with and then on a regional level to increase initial sales.

        Coordinating and optimizing customer service efforts and fostering a customer service culture, utilizing many of the concepts employed by professional survey companies in soliciting feedback for continuous process improvement.

        The Hockey Shop is also in the process of establishing The Hockey Shop Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non profit arm of The Hockey Shop which will work closely with groups such as Saginaw Future to assist the local hockey and athletic community by acting as a fiduciary to secure grants for these groups and further spread goodwill throughout the entire Great Lakes Bay Region.

        Future business expansion plans include the acquisition of a 3D printer to manufacture athletic action figures based upon specifications and photos provided by athletic parents to manufacture an exact likeness of their son or daughter.  This will provide significant future revenue potential while allowing athletic parents to immortalize their son or daughter for years to come in any sport or activity they participate in.
