I would hope you wont change your stickers as i feel that is the key to your brand!
Keep the top of the range gloves... maybe reduce the proce by £5 if you can do so. Scrap some gloves so you only have 3 different ones.
Make some bags as i would defo be interested. Nice sturdy ones to fit with the design, preferably mainly black with some fire somewhere!
-
Also, I would make a traditional set of pads to the same standard as you top of the range pad-as not all people like the revolutionary styling!
-
if possible maybe offer your top of the range gloves with pittards leather
-
yeah i agree with bags maybe something different in them bags? cant think of what at the min but possibly more bat pouches because i personaly take 3 bats with me but only have one pocket
-
Yeah 2+ bat pockets are a must! Non rip corners also...my redback fell out of a rip and got sandpapered on the pavement!
Also it would be great if the bags didnt break the bank lol! Maybe £45 for top of the range?
-
yeah for the bat pockets you could have one on each side and one on the top
-
You definitely need to appeal to the more traditional-minded market. At the moment your soft goods are far, far too complicated, and for puritans like me, they will be put off by this. A far simpler approach to one or more of your models in your soft goods section is a good idea, and maybe show more wood on your bats, the stickers take up too much of the willow.
As for bags, you don't need any more than 2 bat pockets, there is simply no need, one is plenty, and if people have more than one bat, the they can buy a bat cover for surplus bats if they are that bothered, as the majority will only use one bat pocket.

where did you get that stat from boss?
-
And arthur i think the stickers are fine and the top of the range soft goods are fab

GramW, most people, myself included, don't have more than one bat, therefore why would they need another pocket. I only see the need to have more than one bat if you're playing very regularly, like every day, and it would be purely a back up, and from experience soon enough you have a favourite anyway, so only use that one.
-
Leo, everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
-
I personally don't like the soft goods or bats, but I suppose it's their brand identity. Futuristic bats and pads made from tried and tested methods. Different companies aim their products at different people.
Offer some kit deals to people with small profits but they'll get your name out.
-
I think there is too much going on in the front sticker and maybe bring out a more traditional style pad.

yeah but again where do you get that MOST people dont have more than one bat from

You definately need to lower the prices, as most people would just prefer mainstream brands to a relatively unknown company, if the prices are the same.
-
totally agree with dobbs but the stickers are awesome
-
yea the stickers are the bomb a few questions who designed them, whos your willow supplier, do you make your own soft good as they have some diffrent feachures compered to your normal gn/kookaburra soft goods
could you please lower your prices because i have been telling some of my cricketing mate about your site and they said it was just to much cash for their liking because you can go and buy a kookaburra for less but there kind of the same bat
keep up the great work!!!
-
Oh yeah, hes gonna lower his prices due to one kid whos 14 whos mates said it costs to much....
-
elo matt, i play at ashford on the saturdays and rolvenden on the sundays and i was playing with fred whose got one nd i liked the profile, so i would keep the bat range but i would try and improve the soft goods maybe work on the keeping range with a more traditional style of pads.. but aprt from that i can't see much room for improvement
-

matt

OK well hopefully i can pop in some time next week. cant guarantee though might be working
-
For pads i love the puma flextech type!
If you could do a version of them cheaper it would be great! for youths 30-35?
-
maybe offer some bundle deals for pads gloves and a bat aving some cash as people may prefer to buy like that!
-
