Freshfish Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) ..as we've been likened to ITFC with regards the shirt I thought I would check out their shop. A small club that needs to work harder to generate income....I think this speaks volumes at just how appalling ours is. Club Shop Online ITFC From club strip to canvas wall prints and small cost items...it took me 20 mins..how foookin' hard can it be to find a model that works and copy it...that's how good retailing works ffs.

Gerinako Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I gave up years ago looking at the online shop for things to buy. Interesting to note it hasn't really changed Final straw for me was getting the Christmas catalogue - marking out things I'd like to buy. Going to the online store And not being able to find a damn thing that was in the catalogue! Waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The whole commercial department of the club is crap, hence why we got this top guy in from a major European club. For example, Leeds ' commercial income is way above ours. Also, compare getting a ticket on -line or phone with Owls to that firm that did the play off tickets. Chalk and Cheese, But it'll get sorted, just like the team, training ground, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) ...it will...but it already should have been. The 'NEW' online website is appalling. Why was that given the 'nod'? We are less than a week away from the start of the new season and the whole retail business is on its knees.

Orlando_Trustful Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Another incredibly simple idea they could sell. I'd buy one. Yet they don't even have paper copies of the fixture lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 ...look at the stuff ITFC have...it's bloody brilliant. I've been after some stuff to stick in my Mini but there hasn't been anything for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deleted member Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Friend of mine had this made, in Sheffield. Using the old Supporters Club logo. He was going to market them for Wembley he said he could have 200 done in 3 days. At £30 he would have been more than doubling his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We've had dozens of threads about this over the years. It's time for action. I can't actually think of another shop that sells anything that is run like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have sweated your boobies off at Wembley wearing that !!!! He'd have made a killing on polo shirts or a decent quality t shirt though .

Who is in charge of the club shop? As you said its not difficult- hire a shop manager- send him all expenses paid to Manchester United/ Arsenal as they have great shops- take pictures- implement same products with our logo on it. Done. When I was in USA they literally had anything and everything you could think of with a club crest on it. We can have partners like Subbutteo, Apple, lego etc to use their product with our crest on it. Selling a subbuteo set with the SWFC squad would sell loads before christmas. Also though of a Lego Hillsborough. Kids would go crazy for this sort of stuff. To get partnerships with these companies is not that difficult. To think of innovative ideas takes minutes. It really is pathetic to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
