Not rude, just the truth.  If their idea of announcing their website is on a message board owned by a competitor they might as well shut it down now and focus on their real jobs.

Nobody coming into the online bowling supply game has any chance unless they have millions to invest.  And if you have millions to invest there are better ways at this point.

Everyone is going to sell the same products for the same prices.  The established guys are getting the best prices on the product, the largest discounts on the shipping, have established systems and  a few have private labels to make better margins on.  The only game to be played is how much you are willing to spend on customer acquisition and customer retention.

I appreciate him being that way actually . . always consistent.  Several times I've sworn he's just being an ass and/or is wrong, but he usually ends up being right or his comments/advice gets you on the right track.  I like brutal honesty, I feel like too many people sugarcoat things to the point now that they almost lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings.  That just hurts people in the long run.

Good luck, the water is deep.  I hope your marketing budget is more than putting a post on a message board owned by another online shop.

I really love how you always find the way to be mean or rude with most of the people around here. Kudos for you!
