What Bring It Promotions does
Bring It Promotions, operating as Bring It USA, LLC, is a full-service volleyball travel agency founded in 1996 and headquartered in the United States. The company designs and executes customized international volleyball tours for college programs (Division I, II, III, NAIA), junior/club teams, foreign club and national teams, and individual post-college athletes. Tours combine competitive matches against international clubs and national teams with cultural activities, sightseeing, community service, and eco-adventure components across destinations in Europe, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Asia Pacific, and Africa.
The core product portfolio centers on international volleyball tours, supported by specialized offerings including the annual European Global Challenge tournament in Pula, Croatia, beach volleyball tours, immersion tours with community service, exposure tours for player placement, and overseas professional career placement services. Operations rely on an in-country network of club and federation contacts built over 27+ years, with an English-speaking BIP guide accompanying each team for the duration of the tour. There is no proprietary software platform or disclosed technology stack; service delivery is relationship-intensive and human-operated.
The business model is sales-led and direct-inquiry based, with no e-commerce storefront or online booking. Coaches and administrators contact BIP via website forms or email to request custom tour quotes; itineraries and pricing are negotiated bespoke per team. Revenue is generated from one-time tour package sales encompassing matches, lodging, in-country transport, meals, and activities. The company has maintained a 14+ year partnership with USA Volleyball, operates a regional partner branded as BIP Sweden, and reports no external funding or institutional investors. Headcount stands at 19 employees, consistent with a founder-controlled, niche services firm.
