900 GLOBAL PRESENTS BOUNTY PROGRAM $25,000 UP FOR GRABS!
« on: October 08, 2008, 09:10:36 AM »
Hello All-
There has been speculation as to what we have up our sleeve.  Well we are finally ready to let the world know.
Our new High Performance line "Bounty" will start shipping the first week of November.  Features the new Double Cross core that Nick has been working feverishly on, wrapped with S77 that will produce a very aggressive downlane reaction even at 1000k Abralon.  Not only is this a great ball, but we are doing something nobody in the industry has done before.  Buy this ball, shoot a 300 and win money from us.  See details below.

$25,000 Reward

900 Global puts up the Bounty for top bowlers and pro shops around the country.  Thats right $25,000 cash, bucks, smackers, clams, greenbacks, dinero, coin, moolah, or whatever term it is you like.  The fact is its up for grabs starting November 1st.  Here's how it works.... Shoot a USBC sanctioned 300 game with the Bounty and receive a cut of the $25,000.  
PRO SHOPS THAT DRILL A BOUNTY FOR A BOWLER THAT SHOOTS 300 WILL ALSO RECEIVE A SHARE OF THE $25,000. What's the catch?  NONE!
Offer good through April 30th 2009, at which point the $25,000 will be divided up among the Pro Shops and Bounty 300 game bowlers.  Go to http://www.900global.com/thebounty/ for complete details.

I know the first question.  NO this is not the end of the Break series!  This is a new price point.  Breaks will continue.

I think its only fair the legit shops get a piece of the pie and not the garage drillers. There would be to many people bending the truth on that one. "Everyone" would be a ball driller then.. LOL..

I commend 900 Global for doing this promotion.  The one thing I do not understand is that the promotion they are offering is "FREE" and people are complaining.  The manufacturer is being generous enough to offer this or any type of promotion.  I understand that a competitor is offering $100 gas cards for purchasing certain products of theirs.  Does this show that the bowler is going to bowl a 300 with it? No.  I'm not saying that the other competitor's equipment isn't good so please drop that one before you want to bash me on that comment.  I think 900 Global has this promotion perfect!  It promotes us to acheive a higher level in bowling and it also acheives the fact that 900 Global equipment is good if not better than their competitors.  I sure would love to say that "I got a piece of that 25k"  even if it may not be a lot which everyone is all speculating here.  Where can you say that you got rewarded no matter how small or big it is from a manufacturer?  We should all be thanking 900 Global and not questioning the promotion.

Great program!  Again 900 Global keeps the pro shop in mind when trying to promote their products.  What about the fact that everyone that wants a Bounty will HAVE to go to a pro shop to buy the ball?  Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 900 Global is the only ball company that try's to keep their product off the internet.  I'm sure they are losing their fare share of sales, let alone the exposure that the internet provides.  I spoke to their rep, and that is strictly to support the pro shops.  Thanks for giving me one more reason to push your products...let the Bounty hunt begin!!

PS:  One question for the 900 Global staff...If I bowl a 300 in a PBA Regional, do I qualify for the Bounty?... I believe they are USBC Sanctioned.

PBA tournaments are USBC sanctioned so that will count as well.

I think what Global is doing is a wonderful idea.  Bowlers who buy the ball and shoot a 300 receive a cash reward.  Of course the amount will be based on how many 300's are posted.  Lets just say that 250 are shot. This will mean a cash reward of $50.00 to the bowler as well as the pro shop that drilled the ball.  Some pro shops might even double the reward to the bowler who shot the 300, by giving them their share.  

Now as for the basement ball drillers.  This program does nothing different then any other program offered by the other ball companies.  They all usually pertain to balls bought in a retail pro shop or online.

$50.00 is $50.00,  that's not bad!!!!  And that is based on 250, 300 games being shot.  And in a certain time period with a certain brand of balls,  that could be a lot.  So the final payoff could be much higher.

I personnally think this is a pretty decent offer that rewards both the customer and the pro shop.

Nice job 900Global

its a good idea, a bit of a gimick in my book.  Considering that there are about 250 3's thrown a month, the pro shops get their cut so ever 300 x's 2 = 500 and this last for 4 months......you'll get about $6.75 out of this thing.
--------------------
The only sure thing about luck is that it's bound to change....



Come again!!!! Are all these 300's you are talking about from one ball company?
I don't think so.  Now in the time frame of this promotion along with the fact that only 300's shot using certain balls count,  I seriously doubt that someone who shoots a 300 will come out with only $6.75.

This is no  "GIMMICK"  It's a decent promotion that rewards both the bowler and the pro shop.

An excellent idea!!!

My question is...How do you plan on regulating whether the bowler really threw the bounty all 12 frames. All someone has to do is buy a bounty throw a 300 with any ball and say they threw the bounty and they win.

The "$25,000 Bounty Reward" is a gimmick.  A well thought out, "hopefully" well executed gimmick.  ALL of the newer ideas (Gas cards, 20 ball giveaway, etc) are gimmicks.  The 900G reward is only different in that it's a better idea than most other companies have.  How is getting cash, even if it is only 10 bucks, a bad thing for the bowler and the pro shop/driller?  I'm not a 900G person, haven't thrown any and honestly, don't have a great desire to throw any, but that doesn't make this promotion a bad idea.

Don't try it. You are being watched. Besides, why would you want to screw the company that is trying to help you out?

newguy/eric  great concept on the bounty at 1000 abralon. but here in the midwest we are bowling in the sahara desert. there is no oil in this part of town. you have to go to the middle east to find some. i will be ordering my bounty just because i own every other 900 golbal ball. which is a good thing.i just hope that jls order enough secret bean sauce so i can get this ball down the lane. i will call him now to confirm......
btw is the pitbull still coming out before spring. cant wait to get my hands on that beast.  ps hope the teeth are sharp.

I've already placed my order. I will probably end up polishing mine as well. Polished solids seem to work well for me (medium THS on sythetics).

Phil/Eric

Excellent promotion and even better linking the bowlers with a pro shop.  
900 Global understands that this is in fact a business and they support
pro shops, hence the rise in our sales this year in their equipment.  Keep
supporting pro shops and having sales run thru the pro shop and you'll
continue to be one of our leading sellers in our shops in Cleveland.

Thanks,
Joe
