They're trying to bounce all of their old stock. Surely its either a rangers shop or it isn't if not why are they using the rangers name 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,581 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It's a Rangers shop in name only. Best advice is to give it a wide berth. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope that the message lands this time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Castore’s guinea pigs and it has been a disaster so far. Really? 3 percent returns and mostly due to sizing, no? How many strips made it to customers successfully? The problems are real. Maybe this is another vocal online minority skewing perceptions though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? https://www.sas.com/en_us/insights/marketing/customer-analytics.html Wanting to know...is the way forward. It is apparent that both Hummel, and Castore did not. 9 hours ago, craig said: And then consider that there were boycotts called for where some did and some didn’t ? And given we had Hummel where it was supposed to be a break from Ashley so some bought..... then found out Ashley was still in the thick of things.... No offense Graigarino, but that's all horseshit and conjecture. EITHER WAY, that is why you take the time to utilize a SAS suite (or comparable modeling software) and perform the market analytics yourself...or pay a firm to do it for you. Yes...ANY market can be analyzed...even the deepest, darkest depths of the Glaswegian wilds. However, to steal an apt isles phrase; Castore, couldn't be arsed...and it's obvious. 9 hours ago, craig said: Given ALL those variables I’m interested to know just how you “screw this chicken” (whatever the fuck that even means) to work out likely demand for our kit ? Just how would they go about working out “effective, accurate measures for their market” given all of the variable factors I mentioned ? The Information Age means shit when you don’t have a constant. And in the last 7 years the only constant about Rangers is inconstant. Yeah...refer above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have followed the threads on Follow Follow and the sheer volume of complaints is hard to argue with. And it is from reputable people on the forum too including the admins, some of whom bought the most expensive gear on the website and still had to return it all due to quality issues. I am a bit skeptical of the 3% figure to be honest. The biggest complaint I have is stock. Every time I check, they don't have anything in stock that wouldn't fit the incredible hulk, unless you buy from Ashley. Celtic on the other hand have everything in stock all the way from infants to adults in their own online shop as well as JD Sports. The stock issue will cost the club and Celtic will make very good money out of the service they are getting from Adidas. The appetite for the new kits wanes quickly as the season goes on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
