DICK'S Sporting Goods Teams Up with Xavier Worthy for Holiday Shopping Revolution
In an exciting turn of events for holiday shoppers, DICK'S Sporting Goods has rolled out the second chapter of its innovative Holiday Shopping Sprint, featuring Kansas City wide receiver Xavier Worthy. This initiative emphasizes quick home deliveries, allowing two lucky winners to receive their curated gifts in record time, thanks to Worthy's speed and dedication.
This year, DICK'S hosted a local contest inviting athletes in the Kansas City area to illustrate how winning a speedy delivery would enhance their holiday experience. The winners include Tanisha and her 8-year-old son, AJ, alongside Molly from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City. Each winner had the opportunity to create a $2,500 holiday gift list from DICK'S inventory, which Xavier Worthy shopped for in-store before delivering the items right to their doorsteps.
Melissa Christian, Vice President of Global Brand and Category Marketing at DICK'S, expressed her enthusiasm: "Surprising our athletes with gifts off their list was such a delight. This initiative illustrates our commitment to meeting athletes where they are, quite literally. Having Xavier, known for his speed, involved made this year’s event even more special."
"I love the holidays," said Xavier Worthy. "Partnering with DICK'S Sporting Goods to spread joy and help fulfill holiday wish lists was an amazing opportunity for me."
While not all shoppers will be able to receive a hand-delivered gift from Worthy, DICK'S Sporting Goods provides ample online shopping options. Customers can make use of DICK'S mobile app or website for their holiday shopping, enjoying quick and convenient delivery services. These options include:
1. Free Shipping: DICK'S ScoreCard members can enjoy free shipping on orders exceeding $49 when they log in.
2. Guaranteed Holiday Delivery: Orders placed by December 18th can be guaranteed to arrive by December 24th with standard shipping.
3. In-Store Pickup: Customers can purchase items online and have them ready for pickup at their nearest DICK'S location – often within one hour.
4. Ship to Home: If an item isn’t available at a local store, associates can place an order for home delivery.
5. Same-Day Delivery: In many locations, orders made by 2 PM can be delivered that very day.
The Holiday Shopping Sprint project first debuted last year with DICK'S partnership with WNBA superstar Kelsey Plum, setting the stage for a new tradition in holiday giving.
