Why does Slingshot opt to release their RPMs after xmas?
Maybe if you contacted SS and let them know you were going on holiday they could have totally changed their marketing plans for the whole world? How inconsiderate of them!richieski wrote:NOT happy,
I have hols booked to Oz and I was going to purchase a quiver of RPM's for the start of the season but guess what? I went for C4's all because the RPM's were not available.
Can anyone from slingy please explain why the release date is in the New Year as many places around the world, the season starts Nov/Dec.
Do you not think you may benefit if you could bring the launch date forward a couple of months? think of all the kites that could be sold for crimbo pressies and all that Christmas gift money going to sales.
I think I remember shymac saying something about that last season, it just depends on when they get the kites finished. Last year I think it took them forever to get the new fuel out? But all the other kites were finished and available for months.richieski wrote:I was thinking of contacting SS and letting them know of my plans but I just plain forgot. I will bear that in mind for next time.
Your right about "seasons" i meant to say kiting in board shorts weather.![]()
On a serious note though, is there a marketing strategy or something i do not know about in relation to the release date or is it simply down to r+d, build etc. What i mean is there stock sitting in the warehouse ready for shipping?

Why to be so outdated? http://www.kite24.pl/product_info.php?c ... cts_id=695 Polish key retailer of the Polish SS importer is selling RPM 2013 for half a months yet (or taking orders). The actual selling prices are much lower of the declared. You just need to call and talk to smart Polish guys :richieski wrote:I was thinking of contacting SS and letting them know of my plans but I just plain forgot. I will bear that in mind for next time.
