News ReleaseST. GEORGE, Nov. 18, 2008 -- Dixie State College of Utah is alerting St. George and Washington County area businesses about a scam involving a Texas marketing company that is using the DSC name to solicit advertising and T-shirt sales.
Jam Sports Marketing, which is based out of Mansfield, Texas, has contacted at least two businesses in St. George about advertising their business on T-shirts and other promotional items geared towards DSC students.
"Jam Sports Marketing is in no way affiliated with Dixie State College and is not authorized to use the Dixie State College name or its logos," said Steve Johnson, DSC Director of Public Relations and Marketing.
Johnson noted that the Dixie State College of Utah name and all logos are trademarked, licensed and protected from any unauthorized use through Strategic Marketing Affiliates, Inc. (SMA). He added SMA is working on behalf of DSC to legally force Jam Sports Marketing to cease using DSC's name and trademarks.
Dixie State College is asking any area businesses that have been contacted by Jam Sports Marketing to please contact Steve Johnson at 435-652-7544 or at johnson@dixie.edu. Courtesy Dixie State College
