Miami heat and Assist-Card have joined forces. Assist-Card is a travel insurance company based out of Geneva Switzerland. The company hopes to boost business in North America. The deal was struck last Thursday, but unfortunately no financial details of the five year contract have been disclosed. Starting this season fans will see Assist-Card on tickets, banners, schedules, advertisements and arena signage. The Swiss Insurance company who has over seven million customers worldwide says that the deal with the Heat is very big advertising for their newly available service in the USA. In this struggling economy NBA teams including the Miami heat are always looking for new deals to boost revenue. The Heat has been forced to lay off twenty employees and basketball operations staff has taken pay cuts from two to twenty percent so this new contract will surely improve resources.
