The Vegas Golden Knights Drive Business for Local Sports Memorabilia Shop
When the Vegas Golden Knights first came to the valley in 2017, Tyler Feldman, CEO of Inscriptagraphs Sports & Celebrity Memorabilia, did not anticipate the team driving business for his sports memorabilia shop. However, as the Golden Knights continue to inspire the community both on and off the ice, Feldman’s business has never been better.
Founded in 2015, Inscriptagraphs Sports & Celebrity Memorabilia began to receive requests for Golden Knights merchandise, which caught Feldman by surprise. “I didn’t have any because I didn’t think it was something worth investing into the inventory, or doing signings with players, because there wasn’t a whole lot of demand until almost the Stanley Cup,” he explained.
Last year’s record-breaking sales were a result of the Golden Knights’ success and the enthusiasm of fans. This year, Feldman’s business is projecting even bigger sales numbers thanks to the continued success of the team.
A Global Fanbase
The love for the Golden Knights extends far beyond the Las Vegas community, as fans from around the world purchase memorabilia from Inscriptagraphs. “We’re definitely seeing a huge demand locally, but it has been mind-boggling because most of the demand has been nationally and internationally,” Feldman shared.
The memorabilia shop has seen sales to countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Canada. Fans worldwide purchase anything from signed pucks to jerseys and game equipment, demonstrating the global appeal of the Golden Knights.
The Future of Business and Golden Knights
Feldman predicts that the demand for Golden Knights merchandise will only continue to grow. “It’s not gonna slow down,” he said. “What the Vegas Golden Knights keep doing, we appreciate it.”
The success of the Golden Knights both on and off the ice has not only garnered a global fanbase but also benefited local businesses like Inscriptagraphs Sports & Celebrity Memorabilia. As the team persists in their successes, fans from all over the world will continue to purchase Golden Knights memorabilia, supporting both the team and local businesses.
