+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Well Kinda Bad... So Seven has done well in it's first month, much better than we anticipated and customers are loving both the wedges and irons which we always knew they would. Originally it was supposed to be exclusive to TSG but since the launch companies worldwide have been aggressive in trying to get an account, we are taking it slow only choosing the best partners and so far we have selected a Thailand & Korea distributor ( won't name yet ) and in order to allow them the margin as well as their shop accounts a competitive margin that is on par with other brands a serious price increase had to be implemented, that's still being sorted out but just letting you guys know it's coming. We are down to our last stocks, after this expect a pretty hefty increase, There is no other way around it, in the beginning TSG wasn't making much even at the current prices because we produce very small amounts and go overboard on all the details i.e Seven products on average cost 2-4 times more to make than other brands made in Japan BUT with this price increase the margin will be very good for us so I'm just being totally transparent about it, and we are investing all of it back into the company to produce a slew of new items and this will allow us to fund woods as at previous prices it was not possible at all to produce a top tier original driver. Another thing we can do is make cover custom paint work and reduce the cost of shaft options a good amount. But the retail prices gotta go up. Next the news that broke my heart, J.I.S Grade S15C is no longer available anywhere in Japan. I won't opt for Chinese stuff you know me. No more billets to forge into our iron mold. We had no idea and when I went to re order irons I was told the bad news. So get them now if you want to experience soft on an entirely different level. Wedge heads will most likely increase in price by $70 per head = $230 Iron sets will go up in price somewhere around $420 = $1470 for 7 heads. At the current prices this is all we have left: Satin S15C 4-PW: 7 sets 1050 + Shipping 160 per head Satin + Logo SS400 Wedge 52* : 1 Satin + Logo SS400 Wedge 54* : 3 Satin + Logo SS400 Wedge 56* : 2 Satin + Logo SS400 Wedge 58* : 1 Satin + Logo SS400 Wedge 52* : 1 Raw SS400 Irons 4-PW : 2 sets ( made for custom finish + bending ) 850 + Finish 120 per head + Finish Raw SS400 Wedge 52* : 1 Raw SS400 Wedge 54* : 2 Raw SS400 Wedge 56* : 1 Raw SS400 Wedge 58* : 1 Raw SS400 Wedge 52* : 2 As you can see stock is thin, more are on the way BUT they all go up in price a pretty big amount for the 2nd run.

Shankopotamus Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well, a congratulations is in order here. The price hike is unfortunate to us TSGers, but that's busuness. I'm very happy to hear this exclusive brand has gotten global traction. That's actually a big deal. In hoping for continued success, some of us will be able to say we saw this brand grow from its inception. Congrats, again, Chris. Oh, and maybe you can still hold end-of-year Seven sales for members ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
