  New England Kit - So Dire - No Sales?

I got 2000 natural visits yesterday to my footy site just from people searching for the New England Away Kit, and had no sales.

I had a range of Kitbag and UKSoccerShop on there with links to them on Awin, AF and Webgains - and haven't had any sales or pre-orders.

Are the pre-orders going to batched, or did no one buy because its such a dire kit?

hi Lee

Remember "new england patriots" the superbowl runners-up may have affected your results. try negative matching patriots, NFL etc.

there was lots of coverage and the US goes made for it; so any americans in the UK would have probably search "new england ... " something. possibly?

From what i have learned from doing this for a while, people don't tend to pre-order these things so much. I'm not suprised by your stats to be honest. A lot is just kids after seeing what it looks like anyway.

Hi Lee,

I saw something on GMTV this morning and they were saying people aren't buying it as we are out of Euro 2008 there will be no games to wear it to, if we qualify for the World Cup 2010 they'll release a new kit for that and as these kits are so expensive it's a bit of a waste of money. I quite liked it though.

Have you emailed the merchants to see what their sales are like?
Do these merchants pay commission on orders taken or order dispatched?

Think you're right - can't see it being a best seller.

Hope it picks up Lee!

  Re: New England Kit - So Dire - No Sales?

I find football kits sales disappointing normally online. Sometimes the Supermarkets like tesco and Asda sell them really cheap and beat the online stores. Also JJB might be selling cheap in store?
When I looked at kitbag they had them for sale full price.

Also the kit is shoddy!! I just wanted to see what it looked like yesterday and I did a search yesterday to have a look with no intention to buy. Also with no euro 2008 people won't get chance to wear it out!

( Started this post ages ago then got side tracked)

Must admit I did have a look yesterday, and thought it looked bloomin orrible, so decided to get the home shirt for £20 instead.

  Thumbs up Re: New England Kit - So Dire - No Sales?



Hi,
I think it's a nice shirt. The shirt itself also incorporates a QR (Quick Read) code into the shirt’s label. This effectively serves to bring the shirt to life, enabling fans to access a unique QR website. Upon photographing the code with their mobile phones, fans will be taken to the website where they can obtain exclusive content about UMBRO and England. This is the first time that QR code has ever been incorporated into a football shirt.

We've seen some excellent sales this morning with the new England shirt. Please see our blog posts about this. Creative also available from the blog posts.

As ever, please let me know if you need specially sized (or co-branded) creative for this for your website.

Kind regards

Nice Capello giveaway, have added that - must have missed it if you promoted that already?
