Just became a custom headcover Rep!

[JGalls]

I just became a custom headcover rep for this small company that is attempting to grow.

 

I'm pretty excited about it and have some great ideas about where I'd like to expand to.

 

One route is into Country Clubs. Do you think either shops or members would purchase custom headcovers with their club logo on them to sell to members?

 

What other routes could you recommend?

 

The headcovers are done by same manuf as cameron ones, so they're sweet!

[Scott@84]

Sweet! Congrats on your new position. I have a headcover from the company you speak of with shamrocks on it.

 

In answer to your question, yes I would buy a putter cover with my clubs logo on it.

 

Another idea might be for charity events or Pro-Ams.

[JHR]

I believe most clubs will have covers with their names on it, I agree with the Pro-Am or other Private events. There is a big market for the Cameron special event covers. You need a gimmick that no one else has. If you have a unique logo or slogan, something that will catch on and people will want. You need a Tour guy or a celeb. to have one, then everyone will jump on the band wagon. Good luck and Congrats.

[JGalls]

Thanks guys! Any help on logos or slogans would be greatly appreciated.

Well..........there may be some trademark issues with this, but I"d love to have a cool headcover with my favorite hobbies on it (BMW logo, A "yellow jersey" like in the TourdeFrance, a wristwatch design (since I collect wristwatches), etc. for example).

 

Otherwise.........I cannot afford them, but I LOVE many of the Scotty Cameron designs, like Dancing Snowflakes, Holiday, etc. are very very cool. I believe a firm called "AME" makes these.

I might sugest working with Universities around the countries. I would be awesome if there were putter covers for major colleges (similar to the SC style)

I'm getting sent a list of universities for you. If Cincy is on there then no problem.

[Redbird]

How about Illinois State University! :D

 

Also, more choices in headcovers for mallets would be cool. Preferably my I-Trax...simple square.

[JGalls]

unfortunately those two schools aren't on the list...what is the mascot for illinois state?

Yeah Ive been looking for one for my college. But I cant seem to find a good enough logo to get a cover done for it.

[tpariff]

I agree with the mallet idea. There are tons of cool designs for blade style putters, but the selection is very limited for mallets. It seems that a company could get more creative with a mallet h/c because there is so much flat space to work with.

[henbogan]

JGALLS, do you have the U. of Texas mascot? if so pm me a discription and price.

[yoose]

JGalls,

Does your company have any Nascar ones?

[GehenHerzog]

Post a picture of the Florida one and the Duke one please.

[liyxapt]

i though ame did this stuff themselves, I know st andrews bay ordered theirs direct

[AUDuffer]

JGalls, let me know if you have an Auburn cover and what it looks like. If you can post the pic on here that'd be great!

My suggestion is cartoon characters such as snoopy, batman, etc or ask your customer(s) what they would like on their headcover. If you design a headcover that has snoopy playing golf i will definetely order one from you.

[gator]

it would be nice to get a florida one with the slant script that fits the futura's. i know there's not a large market for that though. is an individual custom order possible. I like a little more than just the gator mascot logo.

[markheardjr]

Try selling the college ones to the courses in the area of the college if you get to travel that is. I know here in the LA area all the golf shops/pro shops have something for USC, but none of the headovers are cool, mostly cheap neoprene. I bet if you make some of those cameron style headcovers and tour the LA area with them you'd get some decent size orders! And go to colleges book store too. (Obviously you can try this at the closest major college to you and if it works out try some other ones.)

 

I'd use the college logos as an ice breaker especially since season is about to start. Then once their on the hook introduce some others, club logos, and etc.

[JGalls]

My company puts logos on watches for schools and golf tournaments. Most of the major universities protect their logos with licensing agreements and guarantees thru Collegiate Licensing out of Atlanta. They can be very hard to work with and if you are caught selling a school logo that is not licensed they are very nasty.

 

Be careful!

I personally haven't sold any yet..so no worries here. I'm sure AM&E has them licensed...
