Selling Golf Products

An introduction to commercialising new golf product ideas.

You made it! This is the last stage of this exciting journey. Your new golf product is manufactured and ready to start being sold and used.

Selling your product is not going to be an easy task. There are many aspects that need to be taken into account. How are you going to market the product? How will it be packaged? How are you going to distribute it? These are all important things that you have to figure out before you can start selling new golf products.

Licensing the new golf product

There are a few options that you may consider when it comes to licensing and selling new golf products. You can choose to work with an established company or sell to clients and retailers yourself, by setting up your own company.

Working with a company

If you decide to work with a company, they will be in charge of producing, distributing and selling your product. This means that you will only have to sit down and receive your royalty fee. But of course that means that the company will have permission to use your IP (Intellectual Property) in whatever way they deem necessary and permitted by the contract you sign.

Of course, to be able to work with a company you have to own the exclusive IP rights of the new golf product. These rights are granted by a patent, trademark or by registering the design of the product. This is something that our team at D2M is prepared to advise you on during the development process.

A different option to sell new golf products is to set up your own company. With this option, you will be responsible for every aspect of the production, such as finding and negotiating with retailers, the marketing strategy, the communication with clients, etc. But you will gain control and perceive higher benefits because the profit will go directly to you.

Approaching retailers to sell golf products

If you’re going to be responsible for contacting retailers to sell new golf products, you will have to consider several things but none as important as the price of your product.

This is a tricky thing because you need to think about the production costs, the packaging and delivery costs, plus the VAT and then mark it up so you can actually make a profit out of selling your product.

Once you have a product sample (not a prototype) of enough quality you can start contacting and negotiating with retailers. Retailers are interested in the production sample because they will get a more accurate idea of the quality. Learn more about manufacturing new golf products clicking here.

Another important thing besides having a good new golf product to sell is preparing a good pitch for retailers. In order to convince them, you need to sell the new golf product to them. You can find many courses online and on site where you can learn how to best prepare for this kinds of meetings, if you don’t have that much experience.

What our clients say

Phil and D2M are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a product design company. From the beginning, Phil's passion and expertise came through when deciding on a partner.

D2M is a great company to work with and one we would recommend for any new product development. One quality we have been impressed with is their minimum viable product approach. Looking forward to working on our next project with them.

We engaged Phil and the D2M team to help us fabricate a prototype for our product on an extremely tight timeline. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs to take their product from idea to prototype!

D2M were and still are a massive help to me. They are full of knowledge of the industry and helped bring my idea to physical product. They re-designed, refined and have thoroughly tested my idea to create something that is functional, aesthetic and realistic to manufacture.

Genius Alert!!! Phil is one of the best start-up consultants you find out there. In contrast to all other start-up consultants you will encounter, Phil has first-hand experience of what it means to raise start-up funding, build the team and navigate the highs and lows of the start-ups.
