Airtasker partners with Spalding, one of the world’s leading sports brands, to make basketball system assembly easier for customers. The partnership connects Spalding customers with Airtasker’s network of assembly specialists, helping them get their home courts ready for play with less hassle.
“Partnering with Spalding means customers can get local help at the point of purchase, so they spend less time on setup and more time on the court,” said Claire Sotheran, Marketing Partnerships Executive at Airtasker.
For Australian families and players, getting a new basketball system is an exciting moment. However, assembling it safely can take an entire weekend or require two people, particularly for more complex models.
“Our partnership with Airtasker is focused on removing barriers for customers and making the setup process as seamless as possible. By connecting customers with experienced Airtasker professionals, we’re making it easier for families and players to have their system installed quickly and correctly,” said Sean Wilkinson, eCommerce Manager at Spalding.
Airtasker’s marketplace data shows how closely the partnership aligns with consumer demand. Assembly remains among the top 10 most-requested services on the platform, while the demand for outdoor assembly furniture has also risen alongside other warm-weather preparation tasks like turf laying, decking and pool maintenance.
With basketball activity typically picking up in the warmer months, it’s an ideal time for customers to browse Spalding’s range of basketball systems. Products that require assembly include portable and in-ground basketball systems, as well as basketball hoops and board combos.
Eligible Spalding basketball systems come with an Airtasker discount code on their outer packaging. The discount can be applied when posting a Spalding-related assembly task valued at $120 or more (excluding fees).
To help ensure a smooth assembly experience, Airtasker and Spalding encourage customers to review Tasker profiles, check completion rates and provide a clear description of their assembly requirements when posting a task.
