🏀March Madness: More Than Just a Game! 🏀 Business Insights Behind the Hoops with #ConnorSports and #GerflorUSA As the excitement of March Madness unfolds, it’s the perfect time to look beyond the court and explore the tournament’s substantial influence on the business world. Here are some fun facts that spotlight the economic and professional side of the madness, especially through the lens of Connor Sports, the official court supplier for the NCAA: Broadcast Bonanza: The NCAA tournament represents a broadcasting and advertising goldmine. The $10.8 billion deal secured by CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting to air the games underscores the immense appeal of this sporting event and its value to advertisers. Betting Big: With an estimated $8.5 billion wagered on the tournament, March Madness highlights the significant economic impact of sports betting. Productivity Puzzle: While the tournament might impact workplace productivity, with an estimated $13.3 billion lost in 2019, it also boosts morale and fosters team bonding, reminiscent of the balance between work and play, as seen today at Gerflor USA’s shared post. Marketing Magic Through Official Partnerships: For Connor Sports, being the official court supplier for the NCAA tournament showcases our commitment to quality and innovation in sports flooring, connecting us with millions of fans and affirming our brand’s role in the success of one of the most iconic sports events in the U.S. Alumni Pride and Donations: March Madness significantly elevates school spirit and alumni contributions, a testament to the foundation laid by Connor Sports flooring, “Where champions Play” and work are born. This season, we’re especially proud at Gerflor USA to have supported Northwestern University Basketball (Go Cats!) on their journey to March Madness. It’s rewarding to see the team’s hard work pay off with a tournament selection. March Madness serves as a powerful reminder of the intersection between sports, business, and culture, with Connor Sports at the forefront, ensuring the games are played on top-quality courts. 🏆💼 #MarchMadness #SportsBusiness #EconomicImpact #WorkplaceCulture #gerflor #ncaa #ncaabasketball
