Startup Qranc Becomes Official Sponsor for Nicole Melichar-Martinez

Salt Lake City, UT - Sports brand Qranc, which provides professional-grade balls and accessories for tennis and pickleball, is pleased to announce that it has signed the celebrated tennis doubles champion Nicole Melichar-Martinez as a Qranc athlete. The company is now the official ball sponsor for Martinez.

The team at Qranc is excited about the sponsorship, and feels that partnering with Melichar-Martinez will help the company to continue to expand. The brand has grown significantly since its inception in 2021, and this sponsorship is part of the brand’s plans to scale and reach for future goals.

Sponsoring Melichar-Martinez has the potential to increase the brand’s visibility and customer awareness, particularly within the tennis community. As a professional tennis player, Melichar-Martinez has a large following of fans and supporters who may take notice of Qranc as a result of the sponsorship. This can help to build brand recognition and attract new customers to the business.

In addition to increasing brand awareness, sponsoring a professional athlete like Melichar-Martinez can also help to build brand credibility and authority. By associating with a successful and respected athlete, Qranc can prove that its products are high-quality and well-suited for serious players. This can help to attract more serious tennis and pickleball players to the brand, who are likely to be interested in high-quality equipment and gear.

Furthermore, sponsoring Melichar-Martinez can help Qranc to tap into the athlete's expertise and experience. As a professional tennis player, she has valuable insights into what players need and want from their equipment. By working closely with her, Qranc can gain insights and feedback that can be used to improve its products and better meet the needs of players.

Nicole Melichar-Martinez has achieved significant success in doubles tennis, winning one Grand Slam title in mixed doubles at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. She has also reached the finals of two Grand Slam tournaments in women's doubles, finishing as a runner-up at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships and the 2020 US Open. Melichar-Martinez has also reached three WTA 1000 finals, including two at the Cincinnati Open in 2020 and 2022, and one at the Canadian Open in 2022.

Qranc founder and CEO Parker Marquis states that being able to become the official sponsor for an exceptional athlete such as Melichar-Martinez is a dream come true for his startup. He feels that this partnership has the capacity to continue the growth of his startup as more sports fans and players become aware of the brand.

“A can of tennis balls will last between one and four weeks of recreational play, with balls used in competitive tennis lasting as little as one to three hours,” Marquis says. “There is a high demand for tennis balls. The online marketplace has definitely added a level of convenience for consumers, but we’re looking to take that convenience one step further.”

Marquis created Qranc to make tennis and pickleball more accessible for everyone. He says that a “set it and forget it” subscription service will break down both financial and efficiency barriers, making it easier and more cost-effective for players to acquire access to professional-grade balls and other equipment.

“Our goal is to ensure that our customers don’t have to worry about purchasing new balls, and can instead focus their efforts on their tennis game,” said Marquis. "We are thrilled to be working with Nicole. She exemplifies the next generation of tennis players that Qranc is looking to reach. She’s dynamic on the court, and is a strong and positive role model for players of all ages and skill levels.”

Qranc is a sports brand that offers high-quality tennis and pickleball balls, paddles, and accessories through a subscription service that allows users to choose the quantity and frequency of their deliveries based on their individual needs. Customers can also purchase items individually.
