Every great invention or idea generally capitalizes on some human obsession. Pepsi and Coke captured our love of sugar. Facebook captured our love of socializing and self-promotion. I am going to capitalize on the craze of fantasy sports. Over 19 million people play in some form of fantasy football league every year. Thats not counting the three other major sports that attract fans as well. The NFL and other leagues have realized the potential of this new way of following the sport and made millions on advertising and other promotions. This is how I'm going to get a piece of the pie. Every online fantasy team has a team decal. You can upload your own image or choose from the 5 options they provide you. Most people's team names are too creative to be captured by a colored football helmet and an initial. Here's where the designer and business opportunity comes in. The designer provides a logo for the team owner to upload instead. This is the first of many services possible. T-shirts, trophy's, jerseys, and anything else marketable can follow.
The only issues with this business plan is that the designs have to be simple enough so they don't take weeks to create in order to do as many as possible and keep prices low. Another issue is copyrighting. You are basically giving your files to someone else and after that you have no control of where they go. This would have to be dealt with by someone smarter than me.
I have created my own logo and have gotten requests from others in my league. I believe this is a potentially viable way to create a small business or on the side interest. If you are interested in a logo feel free to contact me or if you have any ideas please comment!
