In less than a decade, The Memory Company has distinguished itself as the premier designer and marketer of licensed sports related gifts, collectibles and home d�cor products. The Memory Company, LLC, is a privately held corporation based in Phenix City, Alabama. Recognized for its creative product development, The Memory Company offers retailers a unique range of heirloom quality goods that are trendsetting, functional and authentic.
The Memory Company was established as a primary licensee for Collegiate Licensed Product. Its initial line was so successful that the company soon expanded its scope of licensing to include professional teams, as well. It was then that the company began building its industry identity as a primary resource for the widest line of licensed sports products available.
Today, The Memory Company not only continues its long-time relationship with Collegiate Licensing, but its licensors now include National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, and NASCAR. The company was honored by Ducks Unlimited, when this prestigious association chose The Memory Company to develop a line of lighting and home d�cor products. As the company�s achievements have grown, the business has expanded to include new categories and to explore non sports-related licensing opportunities. It is a primary objective of The Memory Company to focus on brands that inspire loyalty to leagues, teams and hobbies with classic designs that consumers will proudly display and enjoy.
The Memory Company is comprised of divisions that reflect the product concentration: home d�cor, outdoor, lighting, and trim-a-tree. The products within each category are continually reviewed with an eye toward responsible expansion to meet market needs and opportunities. For example, the Lighting Division has grown to become #1 in sales � filling a market niche without par.
While The Memory Company is spotlighted within the gift and home d�cor industry for its originality and consumer loyalty, it has also received recognition in the national media. In the Fall of 2003, the company was profiled on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, for its �collegiate rivalry� line. In April of 2005 The Memory Company was ranked in the top ten non-apparel collegiate manufacturers by Collegiate Licensing Company. Also in April of 2005 The Memory Company was named the number one manufacturer of Men�s Collectibles by GiftBeat. The company has been honored by its licensors, as well. In 2003, The Memory Company was awarded the NFL Hard Line Licensee of the Year, and in 2004, the company was runner-up.
The Memory Company is a member of several prestigious networking groups such as the Fair Labor Association (FLA), The International Collegiate Licensing Association (ICLA), and most recently Purchasing Power Plus (PPP). TMC also works with Card$mart stores as well as the ParkWest catalogue group.
The company maintains corporate showrooms in major market centers, and it is represented throughout the US and Canada by a network of prominent sales organizations, augmented by its own dedicated sales representatives. As a result, the company consistently ranks in the top 15 licensees in all its categories for non-apparel royalties paid.
The company is headed by Charles Sizemore, founder and CEO and Randy Brown, founder and President. Kevin Draws is Vice President-Sales and Dan Kinney is the CFO.
