Grand Valley State University Instantly Expands Assortment of Merchandise with TeamFanShop Partnership

Online, February 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - TeamFanShop announces newest partnership with Grand Valley State University (GVSU) to operate their official online store. The new partnership will instantly expand merchandise, upgrade return, shipping and customer service policies.

The desire to increase the selection of merchandise available to loyal Grand Valley State Lakers fans across the globe prompted GVSU to begin the process of researching partners. The proven success of operating official online stores for schools of all sizes, professional teams and sports media, lead to the selection of TeamFanShop as the official partner to power their new online store.

"Being an NCAA Division II school with many dedicated fans, we had the aspiration but lacked the resources to provide the merchandise assortment and level of customer service desired," remarked Doug Lipinksi, Associate Director of Athletics and Marketing for Grand Valley State University. "TeamFanShop will handle all aspects of operations for our online store including inventory, marketing and customer service among many other responsibilities."

TeamFanShop has long been associated with industry leading practices such as non-scripted customer service representatives, 365-day hassle free return policy, large assortment of officially licensed merchandise, and low cost, expedited shipping options. The new online store with updated policies and merchandise can be directly accessed through http://gvsulakers.teamfanshop.com/.

"Our business model has proven successful for many colleges of all sizes. We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Grand Valley State, welcome them to the TeamFanShop family, and introduce our industry leading practices to help grow their brand," remarked VP of Sales & Marketing for TeamFanShop, Brian Swallow.
