How to Host a Hoops at Home Watch Party

Host a "Hoops at Home" Zoom Watch Party

Are you ready for the the Madness to start?! While in the past basketball fans would gather at their  favorite sports bars or restaurants, this year they will be watching from home or maybe even the office. 

The annual NCAA college basketball tournament is a big deal and a favorite among both avid sports fan and the annual observer. The big question, besides who to root for, is how to experience the fun of watching the game with fellow friends and fans from afar. 

Share Your Screen on Zoom

What did we ever do without Zoom before last March? While most of us are familiar with using Zoom for office meetings and distance learning, it is also a great tool for hosting a watch party. What we love about hosting a Zoom watch party is that you can invite as many as people as you want, it's safe, and there's no cleanup. All you need to do is share your screen and you and your guests watch from your preferred online app or site. If you don't want to share your screen you can always just tune in to your own devices and watch in real time together. Don't forget to download and print our free bracket below.

Gift Giving Made Easy

 


Gift Giving Made Easy

What do you do when you have 100 gifts to send and you don't have addresses? How do you send company sweatshirts to all of your employees and don't have their sizes? How do you purchase and package all of these gifts, prepare all the shipping labels, and get them sent out? We have the answer, you call Blue Sky Marketing.

Online Redemption Sites

For years we have heard our clients tell us that these are some of their pain points so we came up with the perfect solution. Our Online Redemption Site Platform takes all the work out of gift giving which is why our motto is, "Gift Giving Made Easy". These single-page stores contain no payment, shipping, or sales tax. Your recipients simply enter a code to access and redeem their products. 

Why You Need a Company Store

Here are some examples of how our clients are using their own custom branded company stores:

  • Onboarding 
  • Employee Appreciation
  • Thank You Gifts
  • Team Building
  • Holiday Gift Giving
  • Virtual Tradeshows
  • Virtual Galas
  • Sporting Events

MailChimp Integration

Our Solution Specialists will show you how to send hundreds of unique codes to unique email addresses via MailChimp. 

Getting Started with your Redemption Site

All we need from you to get started is your email list and we'll take it from there!

Select Your Products

We will work with you to choose the best products to feature in your own custom branded company store. 

Simple Redemption

When the shopper arrives at your storefront, they will be asked for the code before entering the store. Their custom code will automatically let them know which products they are allowed to see and choose. Once they make their selection, they will use the code as payment to redeem for the product. No payments, shipping, or sales tax will be collected. Everything is included with their redemption code.

Affordable Gift Giving

What happens if you ordered 100 redemption codes but only 75 were redemeed. You only pay for codes that were used. There are no charges for unused codes and we will waive the setup up through 2021. There are never any hidden costs or contracts and you can cancel anytime.

Warehousing and Fulfillment

Our full service solution means you do not need to stock an inventory. All of your chosen products will be shipped directly to the recipient. Need an insert card? We can do that. Want a red box and gold crinkle? We can do that too. Want to include your business card or flyer? No problem. How about a custom die cut sticker? That's not a problem. Need to send them to 1000 people with 1000 different addresses? Bring it on! We can ship everything from 1 to 10,000. Whatever you need, we can do it.

Making You Shine
