when will you guys have blunt or phoenix bars in stock?

Blunts have been barely in stock, if any available at all. I did manage to get a few pairs of blue and cleat coat 22x18 strippers in the last order before they totally ran out of them.

Im placing a pheonix order as we speak, it just depends on what they have in stock and how long it takes to ship. Maybe 1-2 weeks max.

Valentines Coupon Code Special!

Since we all love coupon codes and saving money on stuff we have been wanting anyways i decided to run a sale that will go from Friday 2/11 through Monday 2/14 (Valentines day). Customers can use the google checkout coupon code Valentine11 to receive $20 off and order of $200 or more. The code will work for any product in the store! The code can only be used with Google Checkout, paypal does not offer a coupon code function.

Proto has put wholesale orders on hold for a couple weeks becuase theyre low on stock but i should be able to place an order soon after. Phoenix should be in soon.

Looking for some advice here. Im currently looking into putting together a team or sponsoring riders starting in the summer. Sales have been doing well and we will be adding a ton of more brands and introducing more of our own products this year.

What do riders typically get from retailer/manufacturing companies as perks of being selected? and best way to select these riders? Im looking for talented riders that can promote our business and help get their names out even more. Im talking about all over all 3 IS sites, both ours and thier facebooks etc...

And a little peice of advice for those looking for sponsorships; dont send emails with no structure, slang,spelling errors or saying that you have footage "coming later"...Its an automatic delete lol

If you are looking to possibly sponsor riders, I'd say take a minute to consider what a sponsor actually does.

Don't bombard riders with parts because they will begin to take it for granted and you will get nothing in return. I'd say that when they break stuff and need it replaced, that would be the time to offer them a replacement, provided they have proof of their broken part so not to take advantage. Helping them out in moderation will be more beneficial.

As far as promotion of your company goes, sending riders merchandise such as stickers and t-shirts is a great way to advertise your company. Having a team of riders that are keen to make videos and edits is a big help as well, because it will be a chance for them to showcase your parts that they are riding, as well as slipping in links and logos to enhance advertising. Eventually riders will become more loyal to you as a company and will want to help out more with advertising as opposed to focusing the perks that they receive.

You seem to be right about the language and grammar point though. Riders that can't comprehend English well does not say much for the company.

With all this said, hopefully you will be able to sort out a legit team of riders with the right mind set.

Thats awesome! Im glad the hard work and effort is paying off lol. Its great to hear others shops are getting into the sport and spreading the word around. As a store owner, it feels pretty darn good to hear things like this. Feel free to pm or email if you have any questions when you order.

I only have about 7 weeks left before graduation actually. Im sure for the older guys can agree, college was a blast. Im excited to start the next chapter in my life and business and will certainly miss my college years.

Good luck on the test man, let her have it! G-tech is an awesome school, you will defintiely love it. Remember, theres alot of things people can take away from you, but knowledge isnt one of them. You can do alot on life with a good head on your shoulders.
