in a sea of manufacturers, 6 things you need to consider when choosing a pickleball or padel racket supplier 1. Quality Is Non-Negotiable The pickleball paddes must adhere to industrial standard. Negotiating with suppliers to lower manufacturing costs can translate to lowering the product quality to match the prices. 2. Ensuring Sufficient Production Capacity The right partner should be able to rise to any challenge to meet your evolving business requirements. Details like production volumes, lead times, and scalability should be discussed before making any formal agreement. 3. Maintaining Cost Efficiency Everything from raw materials and labor to overheads and logistics should be carefully scrutinized. By obtaining a comprehensive perspective on cost breakdowns and production expenses, you can better identify potential cost-saving opportunities and ensure the long-term success of your business. 4. Weighing Geographical Location and Shipping Logistics The geographical location of your manufacturing operations will greatly affect your supply chain dynamics, which affects your overarching business strategy. This factor concerns more than just where your manufacturing partner’s facilities are located. It introduces complexities revolving around shipping logistics, customs regulations, and communication barriers. 5. Safeguarding Intellectual Property The objective is to ensure that they are adhering to the previously agreed-upon security standards. Over time, your partner should become a trusted member in your efforts to safeguard your brand’s unique innovations and designs. 6. Effective Lines of Communication The efficacy of communication between your company and your manufacturing partner has the potential to make or break your business. All the above points become void unless clear communication channels are established from the outset. rarlon is ISO, BSCI certified manfuacturer with over 300 employees, we use the quality raw materials and place emphasis on quality control.

Are you familiar with Topgolf Callaway Brands? You may recognize the name Callaway, but the company is actually a conglomerate that owns several globally recognized golf brands. And yes, what you see in the chart is the massive explosion in golf popularity that occurred during the pandemic. Interestingly, unlike many other pandemic winners, the company continued to grow in 2023 (after the pandemic period). However, in its Q1 2024 report published two weeks ago, net revenue dropped by 2% y/y. Has the turning point finally arrived?

Topgolf — the driving range chain where families, friends, and colleagues can whack a few balls onto greens littered with interactive targets — isn’t getting the footfall it used to, leading parent co. Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. to explore a potential spinoff. Golf ball, bag, and club-making giant Callaway Golf acquired Topgolf in a 2021 deal that valued the make-golf-fun-again brand at more than $2 billion, keen to get in on the less stuffy off-course craze that Topgolf has capitalized on since it was founded 24 years ago. In its latest report, however, the company bemoaned “softer than expected” traffic at the ranges, despite CEO Chip Brewer claiming last year that more people would be visiting a Topgolf in 2024 than “playing traditional golf”. FORE! (quarters of decline) Reduced visitor figures have been weighing on Topgolf’s top line too, with same-venue sales declining in each of the last 4 quarters, as the allure of grooving your swing while surrounded by “loud music, giant targets, giant TVs, and hand-crafted food & drinks” has started to fade a little. In previous quarters, the company had explained that the falling figures were just a correction following a “post-Covid surge in the corporate events business” in the preceding year. The further we get from the pandemic, though, the more difficult it becomes to explain the drops away, with Brewer conceding in Q2 that he’s been “disappointed” with Topgolf’s same-venue sales figures and the company’s share price for some time. Topgolf Callaway Brands stock is down 19% in the last 5 days, and down more than 67% since its May 2021 peak. Chartr #golf #callaway #golfindustry #topgolf #economics #earnings #business

Golf has evolved significantly over the years, yet its branding has often lagged behind. I decided to take matters into my own hands with PXG (PARSONS XTREME GOLF), aiming to create a brand that resonates with the new generation of golfers who value both innovation and style. This project wasn’t just about creating high-performance equipment; it was about redefining the entire golfing experience. By introducing modern aesthetics and cutting-edge technology, my goal was to break away from traditional norms and set new standards in the industry. Timing is everything. With more young adults taking up golf, this rebrand is perfectly timed to align with the trend, positioning PXG as the go-to brand for modern golfers who value both performance and style. By capturing the spirit of today’s golfer, PXG could potentially stand out in a traditionally conservative industry, making golf fresh and exciting again. What are your thoughts on bringing a fresh perspective to a traditional sport? Let me know in the comments below. ⛳️ #Branding #Marketing #GolfReimagined #PXG #Advertising

The pickleball revolution is here, and it’s booming! 🏓 The pickleball equipment market is on an impressive trajectory, projected to grow to $699.1 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is fueled by increasing participation in this dynamic sport and technological innovations in equipment design. I’ve seen firsthand the passion and excitement around pickleball. Whether it’s my friends picking up paddles for the first time or local community centers expanding their offerings, it’s clear that pickleball has transcended from a niche sport to a mainstream phenomenon. Here's why this matters: - **Technological Innovations:** The use of advanced materials in paddles, like carbon fiber, enhances performance, offering players greater comfort and control. - **Market Dynamics:** Online shopping has emerged as the dominant channel for equipment purchases, making it easier for enthusiasts to gear up. - **Regional Trends:** Significant markets like the U.S. and UK are embracing sustainability and customization, catering to diverse player needs. 👉 What’s your favorite aspect of pickleball?
