From coast to coast, in towering cities and rural hamlets, people are waiting for the last week of August. They’re cleaning grills, dusting foam fingers, and airing out collapsible chairs. Even as we soak up every beam of summer sun, we anticipate the familiar sights, sounds, and aromas of college football.
Far and away, football remains the top sport in America. For the most avid fans, it’s not enough to quote statistics or buy the newest jersey. Americans don’t just like football – we LOVE it. That’s why we need our favorite team’s logo on everything we own.
As a local, family owned company headquartered in Birmingham, AL, Main Street understands the college football fanaticism. We’re inviting our bank and credit union partners to gear up this football season with custom collegiate checks and high school spirit checks!
Go Team! – Custom Personal Checks with Collegiate & High School Designs
Millions of Americans eat, sleep, and breathe football – your accountholders among them. Community banks and credit unions can reenergize check programs by leveraging that passion.
At Main Street, we don’t draw the line at checks. We pull out all the stops across print products, accessories, and strategic check program management to drive the revenue you like to see. Here’s how.
Branded & Customized Check Designs
Badgers, lions, buccaneers, birds – team mascots come in all shapes and sizes, symbolizing communities throughout the nation. Similarly, a simple stylized letter speaks volumes when it relates to a college, a football program, or a lifetime of memories.
At Main Street, we’re happy to apply both your brand’s logo and your mascot of choice to our high-quality personal checks. In communities where allegiances are divided (see: Alabama and Auburn), we’re happy to incorporate all local team colors and imagery for a vibrant, inclusive touch.
High School Football Checks
For many Americans, Friday nights are just as important (if not more so) as Saturday afternoons! In players and fans alike, our passion for America’s game reaches new heights in high school.
At Main Street, we know that community roots run deep, especially when it comes to high school spirit. We’re happy to include local team colors and mascots in all our branded and customized personal check designs.
Have a unique idea for a check with local significance? Excellent! Contact Main Street today and tell us about your idea. Chances are good that we can create a bespoke check design that checks off all your sporting boxes.
School Spirit Checkbook Covers
Life’s biggest purchases are paid for with checks. From rent to deposits, contractor fees to down payments, checks represent a financial certainty. But carrying a loose checkbook in your pocket or purse is a non-starter. To stay crisp and collected, your checks need protection.
Thankfully, Main Street creates high-quality checkbook covers, complete with your team’s logo or mascot amid full team colors. These plush, elegant checkbook covers allow accountholders to express themselves each and every time they pay with checks.
Football-Themed Marketing Materials
Offering school spirit checks is one thing, but getting the word out is another. At Main Street, we know that your success is our success. To keep check program engagement high and accountholders informed, we supply our partners with marketing materials at no extra charge.
Promote your collegiate and high school check designs with personalized marketing materials at your teller line and beyond. Just like a pep rally or cheerleading squad, our free marketing materials will have your accountholders lining up to support their favorite team!
Football-Themed Drive-Up & Currency Envelopes
A sense of place is pivotal for community banks and credit unions. That hometown flavor makes your institution an attractive choice for residents. To maintain that identity, we need to maximize every accountholder interaction down to the smallest detail.
Mobile banking technology and even the old-fashioned drive-thru can separate us from our accountholders. But it’s easy to inject a little charm and personality into any situation with the right paper product, branded to your institution.
Main Street’s Financial Services Collection includes dozens of playful designs featuring footballs, soccer balls, baseballs, seasonal scenes, and celebrations of life’s biggest moments. Our Holiday Collection doubles down with festive and seasonal imagery that delights accountholders.
Make every interaction count by taking the smallest extra step with print products. Find your drive-up envelopes, currency envelopes, gift envelopes, teller receipts, and so much more by browsing our collections today.
