We here at JustInTymeSports would like to thank you all for supporting our small business! When we started making these hoops in the garage and taking them to craft shows throughout Michigan starting in 1996, we never imagined we would be doing this all these years later.

Through these last 14 years we’ve had a lot of fun hearing the stories of people who have enjoyed family time together on their hoop, used them as give-aways at their charity events, and even improved their game to make a team. We are tremendously proud of our mini basketball hoops and that we continue to manufacture them here in the US (Grand Rapids, MI).

The initiative of a singular day supporting the small businesses our communities thrive on is a great idea and one we wholly embrace. As a thank you, we have a limited time promotion code SBS2010 which will save you 10% on all purchases today. Enjoy the weekend and we’ll keep churning out high-quality mini basketball hoops!

Happy Hoopin’!

Mini Pro 1.0 Hoop Winners through IWearYourShirt.com!

Thursday, November 4th, 2010
Mini Pro 1.0 Basketball Hoop

Two lucky winners will be dunking on these very soon!

I would like to thank both Jason and Evan of IWearYourShirt for their great promotion yesterday. I had a blast interacting with all of you on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day. The chats on UStream sometimes bordered on the insane, but it was all in good fun.

Now, down to the real business. We had 2 different contests running yesterday for our Mini Pro 1.0 Basketball Hoop. One was on Twitter and the other through Facebook. On Twitter we asked you to tweet “The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are …”. Some of the great tweets were

  • @williamcheek @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are WAY too cool for school…I heartily embrace the “and older” part of your age recommendation.
  • @johncorfee The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are so amazingly awesome that they make me bow down on my knees offering much praise and worship.
  • @jkelly901 The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are innovative and make me feel like a kid again
  • @MomMostTraveled The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops stay crispy in milk.
  • @tracydmc70  The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are adorable, perfect for a big game in a little space!

The winner, though, was @Peter352 The @JustInTymeSport mini hoops are exactly what I need to ensure my day consists of only 10% actual work. So, gimme one already.

On Facebook we asked you to give us the most creative shot you would take on our mini hoops. Again, a lot of creativity, and quite a few had me laughing. The winner from Facebook is Matt Hoffman who said:

There are three shots i’d like to do. One would involve some ice cubes and a nine iron. Two would include a buffalo…
Live or stuffed, preferably stuffed for safety sake, and three, we bring
back some of those ice cubes and switch it over to a pitching wedge. Just sayin. (p.s. name the reference and get a free high-five)

The Billy Madison reference, handing out high-fives, and following it with a reference to How I Met Your Mother put him over the top!

Please get in touch with me through Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail (justin@justintymesports.com) with your address and we will send you the hoop. Congratulations you two! Enjoy the hoops! For the rest of you who are disappointed, you can still save 10% by entering IWYS during checkout.
