Would be interested to hear whom and at what level of discount as maybe I need to get some better prices from my suppliers.

And yes it is my choice, I don't need to give away hugely discounted products to Jnrs to keep my business going.

i play middlsex u13, how much should i get off if i ask for sponsorship?

nothing

Discount would be 0% off individual items, but if you bought a full kit you'd get a small discount.

I might actually

Howzat · « **Reply #67 on:** May 27, 2009, 09:27:31 AM »

Theres no need for all this bargaining then, the pads are �49.95 for top of the range pads that would cost �90 from Kookabura/Newbery.

I think some of the smaller brands are missing the point. Young players who have some talent are held in very high esteem by their school mates and club mates and if they score a 50 or 100 then all their mates will be after the bat they used. On Sunday my son played against a club whose captain Ben, (good district player) had a discounted Salix. 9 of his side also hat a Salix 'because Ben says they are the best' all paid in full no doubt and a few of my son's side said after the game perhaps we should get a Salix next. Targetted sponsorship/marketing like this can be very worthwhile.

I agree with this. I think (specifically small) bat makers should reward customers who (successfully) encourage friends and fellow players to purchase their bats. They could give them discounts, the size depending on how many referrals they made, on any other kit they buy from the bat maker.

Some do. They will offer a package deal, which the customer can then either pay for or work for. If they pay for it, they earn money based on the business the company receives on their behalf; a "middle man" if you like. The customer can also get given the kit, then work to pay it off by the same method and then earn money once the kit has been paid for.

Salix offer discounts as do I, but I'm not going to make a loss on my gear in order to have a youngster using it. Salix offer 40% or around that which is fine however that still makes their gear more than mine without discount. However some people just want a big percentage for whatever reason.

And as I said before I reward those who help me out.

Arthur · « **Reply #73 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:18:15 PM »

Haha yeah that's what gets me. People would rather have say 50% off a �250+ bat's RRP from a large company rather than 30% off a �150, just because then they can brag that they get more discount as opposed to a better deal.

i do agree with the above ,but unfortunately most kids you offer sponsorship 2 end up taking the piss! i am not saying all do and there genuine kids out there who do deserve help out with kit, but at the end of the day we are trying to run a business not a charity.Sorry if this sounds a tad harsh but when you get 5-10 emails a day almost demanding they should be sponsored it does start to pee you off!
