Wrigleyville Sports Quick to Market With New Jay Cutler Bears Jerseys and Merchandise

Posted on: Monday, 6 April 2009, 17:06 CDT

CHICAGO, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Within hours after the announcement from the Chicago Bears of the trade for quarterback Jay Cutler, Wrigleyville Sports began offering Jay Cutler jerseys and t-shirts to their online customers.

"We're very in tune with the Chicago sports scene, and we have great people and systems in place that allow us to be very quick to market with new merchandise," said Trey Carlstrom, the owner of Wrigleyville Sports. "We were able to take orders for replica and authentic Bears Cutler jerseys the same day the trade was announced, and we had full marketing campaigns up and online within 24 hours."

"Sometimes, the sports world moves very quickly," says Dave Weiss, Internet Marketing Manager for Wrigleyville Sports. "We've had a lot of practice over the years, and we know how to quickly customize jerseys and make them available for customers to purchase online."

"We've made all sorts of customized jerseys, in addition to the recent addition of the Jay Cutler Bears jerseys," says Carlstrom. "When VIPs come to Wrigley Field to sing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' during the 7th inning stretch, and they want a custom Chicago Cubs jersey, we make those, too. We've done customized Cubs jerseys for Eddie Vedder, Jimmy Buffet, and even George Bush."

The company recorded strong sales of the new Jay Cutler Bears merchandise over the weekend following the signing. "Bears fans are thrilled," says Weiss, "and we're seeing big spikes in traffic to our web sites. This is really a big shot in the arm for Bears fans."
