JustBalls Keeps On Rolling
from the how-do-they-do-that? dept
While just about every online retailer is struggling, it was a bit of a surprise that JustBalls.com raised more money recently. They're an online store that sells all sorts of sports related balls. Baseballs, basketballs, footballs, juggling balls, you name it. So, how is it that they're still in business, let alone able to raise more money? They've expanded the business into working with universities and other programs to sell them branded balls for different sports programs. I'm going to have to get me a Techdirt basketball.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
