I am attempting a new strategy for bowling ball sales. The concept is Cost + with an emphasis on quantity sales. Additionally, I will only charge my actual shipping cost and provide inexpensive drilling fees.
I dont intend to compete in quantity with Buddies online services. But I will be lower than them all. The goal is to provide the lowest cost period and provide only top quality (no factory 2nds) and service on a limited scale. Hopefully in the neighborhood of 20-30 balls per month.
My goal is not to replace my good paying job but to provide extra income for me and my son to use as entry fees for tournaments where we hope to convert it into some profit.
So here goes:
Drilling: $15.00
Drilling with Slug and Inserts: $25.00
(I am not selling Slugs and Inserts otherwise)
1 Ball = Cost + 20%
2 or 3 Balls = Cost + 18%
4 Balls (case) = Cost + 15%
Larger Quantities Discount upon request
Here is my initial Ball Offering to test the concept:

As you can see, some manufactures provide greater profit margins than others. If you are interested, please send email to:
BowlingKnowledgeIf you want drilling services you will need to provide your spec's including your PAP and layouts.
Additionally, I will need your complete shipping address including phone to provide accurate shipping prices. I use Fedex to ship as I have a a good discount with them.
