What does SLD mean in SPORTS

The Sports Licensing Division (SLD) is an exclusive department within a company that helps physical retailers become licensed sports resellers. It’s responsible for obtaining licenses from legitimate sports organizations so that retail stores can offer authentic, authorized sports products to their customers.

Licensed products are the only way to ensure customers of the product quality and authenticity. Teams and leagues have strict standards which mean that those who obtain their license guarantee authentic merchandise every time.

Any kind of product related to the sport or team can be sold under a license such as apparel, hats, jerseys, collectible memorabilia, and more

You must contact SLD directly to apply for a license. They will provide you with information on what you need to submit in order to obtain one and let you know if your application has been approved.

With an SLD license comes brand recognition and legitimacy amongst your customer base, knowing that all products sold are authenticated and safe from counterfeit merchandise. Customers appreciate these protections when they shop with you and it creates greater trust between them and your business.

Yes! Aside from licensing, SLD offers its clients technical support when needed so they can better understand how to maximize their sales potential as well as leveraging multimedia marketing channels such as social media campaigns for greater reach.

There may be additional costs associated with having an SLD license depending on the scope of work needed for the project as well as the duration of the partnership agreed upon between company and client. These costs should be discussed prior to pursuing any further steps towards obtaining a license.

As with anything related to business operations, you want to look at all aspects involved before making any decisions—especially when money is involved. It’s best practice to assess all pros & cons before signing up for a licensure program with SLD or any other company offering similar services.

The process times vary depending on how quickly necessary paperwork is provided by both parties (SLD & Client). Once paperwork is submitted it usually takes 2-3 weeks until approval & confirmation from both sides is received.
