It should come as no surprise that cornhole has swept up and unified a divided country, one back yard at a time. A sport which even the “dad-bodiest” players can conquer, basking in the glory and adulation from literally dozens of fans watching on ESPN 8, “The Ocho”. Having your own set of personalized tournament regulation cornhole boards, is akin to living the American dream, and to gift a set of custom cornhole boards to another, is said to be next to godliess.
Each day, as thousands of families seek to achieve this sense of fulfillment, the unthinkable happens. Boards are purchased from Walmart or Amazon. Custom, only in the sense that they have a sticker for the local sports team, looking identical to the thousands of other boards that rolled off the sweat shop assembly line in a third world country. Costing nearly the same as a custom set hand crafted by a local artisan, the sense of joy often does not extend far beyond the unboxing for these purchases. What is someone to do?
The Cornhole Collective has sought to solve that dilemma! The creation of a national directory of builders, sorted by state and alphabetized by city, finding your local builder of custom cornhole builders has become simplified. With Builders on the map coming primarily from the Cornhole Collective facebook forum, customers can be confident they have found the most talented source for personalized cornhole boards in the country, and they may be located in their back yard. Our Facebook community, functioning with a hive mind approach, seeks to elevate the accessibility of information for the growth of skills, and improvement of craftsmanship for its builders by removing any veils that may hide such information.
By having the nations finest custom cornhole builders grouped in one spot, the need for each of these craftsmen to also develop the aptitude to create and manage their own individual, effective, online presence has been eliminated. Linking prospective customers to something as simple as a facebook photo album containing the builders’ custom cornhole boards, they are able to commission personalized cornhole boards with far more confidence than the photoshopped image of a generic set of cornhole boards on the box of the boards sitting on the shelf at Walmart, while shopping local, and supporting their own community. Cornhole Collective provides this very online presence and increased reach to the builders on its map.
The builder directory also presents an opportunity for builders to refer clients to other builders, whether it’s to refer a client from across the country to their own local builder of personalized cornhole boards, saving them exorbitant shipping expenses, or to find another local custom cornhole board builder to direct clients to when their workload becomes too heavy.
