linnega Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Probike (Raleigh,Ritchey and others) and Dragons (Giant) seem to have gotten there business models right. From the outside they appear to be professional, well organised companies. Service levels are generally excellent and retailers (and hence consumers) get a benefit from dealing directly through them rather than through online companies. If they can get it right, then there is no reason why others (J&J is a great example) should be useless both in price and in terms of service. I agree with ChrisH though. The wholesalers really need to take more responsibility for their product. More innovative marketing (foreign ads stuck into local rags is not innovative), better support of the local expo's (which the closest we have to trade fairs) and improved timing on obtaining the latest products as they are released (Dragons is one that falls short in this area generally).
Marius Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 ChrisH, there was the Daimond back 3day Mtb race last year, they said Raleigh might take over as sponcer this year since Keven Evans is always winning the damn race! any news on that? Marius2007-05-18 05:36:06
