The arena football landscape is littered with the remains of teams that have failed to sustain themselves. These failures are not due to a lack of talent or enthusiasm but rather a reliance on hope instead of sound economic planning. Many teams hope to attract enough fans, sell enough merchandise, and make enough money to pay their bills. However, hope alone isn't a viable strategy.

Why Arena Football Teams Fail

Lack of Realistic Planning: Many teams run out of money quickly because their strategies are based on optimistic projections rather than solid economic principles. They rely on wishful thinking instead of actionable plans, hoping that the crowds will come and the revenue will flow.

Financial Instability: Without a steady stream of revenue, teams struggle to cover their expenses. This financial instability leads to quick failure, as there is no cushion to absorb the inevitable ups and downs of running a sports team.

Our Solution: Prodigy X Football

At Prodigy X Football, we've taken a different approach. We've built a robust merchandise company to support our league, ensuring that we have multiple revenue streams and a solid foundation for growth.

In-House Merchandise Brand: Prodigy X Football provides top-quality merchandise that not only supports the teams but also generates a reliable revenue stream. This approach ensures that we are not solely dependent on ticket sales.

Integrated Revenue Streams: By combining merchandise sales with ticket sales and sponsorships, we create multiple revenue streams that increase our financial stability. This integration allows us to offer a more sustainable and appealing package to fans and sponsors alike.

Affiliate Program: Our league's affiliate program allows anyone to earn commissions by promoting our merchandise, ticket sales, and sponsorships. Each participant receives a unique link, and sales are tracked via cookies. This program not only increases our reach but also incentivizes fans and players to actively promote the league.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where individuals (affiliates) earn commissions by promoting products or services and driving sales. Affiliates use unique links to track the sales they generate. This method allows businesses to expand their reach through the efforts of affiliates while providing a revenue-sharing model that benefits both parties.

In the context of Prodigy X Football, our affiliate program allows players, fans, and supporters to earn money by promoting league merchandise, tickets, and other offerings. By sharing their unique links, affiliates can help grow the league's fan base and revenue while earning commissions on the sales they generate.

Synergies and Mutual Support

Prodigy X Football and the league will support each other in various ways, creating synergies that allow for future growth. This relationship makes the league a self-propelling entity, continuously growing and thriving.

Startup Model: Our league operates like a bootstrapped startup, primarily commission-based. This model ensures that everyone involved has a stake in the success of the league.

Economic Realities: As an arena development league, we recognize that we will not attract the same number of fans initially as established arena football teams. Therefore, a league that compensates based on revenue generated makes the most sense. This approach allows the league to avoid financial pitfalls while providing individuals with a platform to earn money doing what they love.

Membership Fee

Each player will have a membership fee, which will allow the league to cover its operating costs, including:

• Field Rental

• Referees

• Video and Photo Services

• Support Staff

• Software and Technology

• Uniforms

Benefits for Players: In return for the membership fee, players will receive:

• High-Quality Uniforms

• Professional Coaching

• Weekly Game Films Distributed via Social Media

• Exposure to Scouts and Media

• Access to State-of-the-Art Facilities

• Support from a Dedicated Staff

• Marketing Support: Players will have the power of our marketing machine, the Gridiron Growth Engine, behind them. This will allow players to have more exposure and better opportunities through our extensive media efforts.

• Exciting League Experience: Even if a player doesn't sell a single piece of merchandise or ticket, they will be part of one of the most fun and exciting leagues in the country.

Affiliate Opportunities

You don’t have to play in the league to be an affiliate, but playing gives you better influence and a higher chance of selling merchandise, tickets, and other items to earn money. Also, in contrast if you play in the league, you don't need to participate in the affiliate program. This approach creates a community of supporters who are financially motivated to see the league succeed.

Learning from The Arena League (AL)

We recognize the excellent job The Arena League (AL) is doing with smart growth. By strategically expanding and focusing on sustainability, AL is setting a standard for how arena football can thrive. Their approach includes careful market analysis, incremental growth, and diversified revenue streams, all of which contribute to their stability and success.

Smart Growth Strategy:

• Careful Market Analysis: Understanding their audience and market dynamics ensures that they make informed decisions.

• Incremental Growth: Expanding gradually allows them to manage resources effectively and avoid overextending.

• Diversified Revenue Streams: Similar to our approach, AL leverages multiple income sources to maintain financial health.

By adopting similar principles, Prodigy X Football aims to build a sustainable and successful league that supports its teams and players.

Why Arena Style Football?

Better Translation: There are more paid arena football opportunities available post-college than any other level of football. So naturally, we want to train for those opportunities.

More Playing Time: If you took 160 football players and placed them onto 3 traditional 11-man rosters at 53 players each, only 66 players can start in a game, 11 on defense and 11 on offense. In contrast, if you took the same 160 players and placed them onto 8 arena-style football teams, 8 starters on defense and 8 on offense each, that’s 128 total starters. That gives almost twice the amount starting opportunities with the same amount of players.

Who Will Play for the PXFL?

Aspiring Professionals: Players looking to progress to paid professional arena leagues. Benefits include exposure to scouts, competitive play, and media visibility that enhance their prospects and build a player’s personal brand.

Community College Athletes: Athletes seeking competitive play while attending community college, using the league as a stepping stone to university-level sports.

Learning from Independent Pro Wrestling

The independent pro wrestling scene has thrived by adopting innovative business models that rely heavily on merchandise sales and personal branding. Wrestlers like Matt Cardona have proven that it is possible to achieve greater success and financial stability outside of major promotions by leveraging their personal brands and connecting directly with fans. Prodigy X Football aims to take a page out of this playbook, emphasizing the importance of personal branding and community engagement to build a sustainable and thriving league.

Branding and Merchandising

Personal Branding: Just like independent wrestlers, players in the PXFL are encouraged to build their personal brands. By promoting themselves effectively, they can attract a loyal fan base and open up additional revenue opportunities through merchandise sales and endorsements.

Exclusive Merchandise: We offer exclusive, high-quality merchandise for both teams and individual players. This not only generates revenue but also helps build a stronger connection between players and fans. Limited edition items, personalized gear, and unique collectibles are some of the strategies we employ to keep our merchandise line fresh and appealing.

Community Engagement

Fan Interaction: Engaging with fans through social media, community events, and personal interactions helps build a loyal and supportive fan base. By fostering a sense of community, we ensure that our league remains vibrant and connected to its audience.

Local Involvement: Collaborating with local businesses and organizations strengthens our ties to the community and provides mutual benefits. This involvement includes partnerships, sponsorships, and community service initiatives that enhance our league's reputation and impact.

Conclusion

Prodigy X Football is dedicated to building a sustainable future for arena football by adopting innovative strategies and creating multiple revenue streams.
