Last week we announced our new partnership with Tribe Solutions, a merchandise design and fulfillment company that partners with several international and national sport organizations. In response to the Covid-19 crisis, our partners at Tribe have redirected some of their production to meet the growing demand for face masks. 

Tribe is now offering non-medical, reusable, face masks including free custom design service and delivery within Canada. The masks consist of 2-layer fabric design with an internal pocket slit that can hold a filter, designed with an active lifestyle in mind. Sport organizations, clubs, or events can choose one of their designs or have a custom design created with their branding, with a quick turnaround for orders of 25 to 10,000+.

Interpodia clients using one of our sport-specific platforms (CCN, SnowReg, IceReg, HorseReg, PlayerWeb, 2M, CheerReg) have the opportunity to utilize our newest merchandise fulfillment integration feature to sell custom face masks during the event, club or membership registration process. Giving athletes a smooth user experience where they can purchase everything they need (event registration, required memberships, and their branded face mask) all in one transaction. 

This opportunity comes at the perfect time as sports begin to strategize their re-opening. For example, the World Triathlon executive board recently released its COVID-19 prevention guidelines. These guidelines aim to put in place preventive measures to stop the transmission of infection and to minimize the risk of infection at events. Amongst others, the recommendations include the use of masks and gloves in all non-competition activities, such as kit pick-up and at registration tables.

We expect these measures to be recommended for many competitive sports as they re-open. Offering your athletes custom masks at check-out is a great way to provide value and ease your athlete’s minds at the same time.
