Miami Heat Retail Continues To Set New Standard As Top NBA Seller (Forbes)

The Miami Heat have a long history of being a top retailer in the NBA. Their latest innovation is a one-of-a-kind warehouse that allows them to process ...

A call center with customer service representatives can take orders by phone, or answer questions and “connect with fans.” A loading bay has the capability to handle shipping to all corners of the world or, after partnering with DoorDash, to someone in town to watch a game that wants to wear a unique jersey for the experience. They have won seven “Team of the Year” awards as the best-selling franchise in the NBA, an honor no other team has won more than once. “We can take your order by phone or online and have it shipped to you that same day,” says Montero. “We had the lease already locked up, and as soon as we could, we kept moving forward,” he says. There was a whole contingent of fans that wanted “Vice” to be our permanent identity.” And so the team’s outside-the-box approach was to produce something that was both visually appealing but also provided an opportunity for fans to customize jerseys in a way that had never been done before: [Miami’s “Mashup” jerseys](https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidramil/2021/11/01/miami-heat-unveil-new-miami-mashed-edition-jerseys/?sh=681ea8f830e4). Thousands of unique combinations allowed fans to be fully immersed in the design process, whether they shop at the team’s online store, at FTX Arena (another unique experience where arriving fans can custom build any jersey and have it ready by the time the game ends, delivered by conveyor belt in a glass-enclosed workshop named “The Lab.”), or any of their brick-and-mortar outlets. We buy it and we invest in it because we know that the retail opportunity is there. That’s part of the process that has set Miami apart from the 29 other NBA franchises; developing the Miami Heat brand to exist as a separate entity from the on-court product. That synergy has led to unparalleled success for an aspect of the team that is largely overlooked in light of Miami’s on-court accomplishments. “But I have never in my life seen where the name in the front means more than the one on the back.” But Montero brought his savvy and enthusiasm from Champs Sports in 1998 to take over Miami’s retail operations and has helped spearhead the team’s sales success for 24 seasons. That longevity has given him and his team a dichotomous freedom to thrive: the stability and well-earned trust allows them to be innovative in ways that other NBA franchises are not able or willing to be.

"Eventually he’s probably going to get a game-winner layup, he’ll probably get some game-winner on free-throw attempt. One fan on Twitter went far as posting a pic of Jordan having breakfast.
