Tuesday, August 05, 2014
ATLANTA, Ga., (August 5, 2014) – The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the licensing affiliate of IMG College, announced today its annual list of top-selling institutions and manufacturers. These rankings represent royalties reported July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 on all collegiate merchandise sold on behalf of company-represented institutions.
The retail marketplace for college-licensed merchandise in 2013 was estimated at $4.59 billion. Royalties generated from the sale of officially licensed collegiate products go back to the Universities to support student scholarships, and enhance various initiatives on campus and in the community.
“We are proud to work side-by-side with our partner institutions to connect the more than 190 million passionate college fans to the brands they love through licensed merchandise,†said Cory Moss, Senior VP and Managing Director of CLC. “We will continue to develop new products and marketing programs to enhance the brands of our partner institutions as we work together to grow the collegiate licensed segment of the marketplace in conjunction with collegiate licensees and retailers.â€
