If you’re not, maybe it’s time you did...
Put quite simply, you could be profiting from workshop services. Sometimes, it’s a case of building it and they will come – but we fully understand the business connotations when making the outlay for machinery and tools.
However, the results and growth from housing a club repair and re-gripping service in your Pro Shop are exponential. Let’s look at the potential ideas and opportunities you could be cashing in on with workshop services that can be provided…
Grip selection
Dedicating some decent wall space to show off a selection of grips you’re stocking is a great way to advertise the different workshop services you are able to offer. Sticking them on the counter using a small display stand may not have the desired impact you’re hoping for, so breadth is important in this instance. If you’re stocking a good selection of grips, then don’t be afraid to show it.
Furthermore, you can add our easy-to-use guide to grip selection which you can download here. This makes sure you can select the right size and feel of grip for your customer, a great way to add value to both your members and customers.
Repairs & Maintenance service
Whether you’re getting ready for a new season or are simply updating your existing stock, the world of club repair is always alive so make sure you’re ready to let your members know exactly what you can do for them and their game.
Everything from loft and lie bending to swingweight adjustment and rattle removal could be performed in-house by you or your shop team as a paid service, so start taking advantage of the potential in repairing and customising clubs by telling your customers about it.
Regripping
Besides actually stocking the grips, let your customers know that the removal of their favorite set’s old grips and installing new ones can breathe new life into their game. Your team should be fully equipped with the know-how and equipment to do the job right, including precise alignment. We guarantee they’ll be thanking you for improving their game.
Reshafting
Customers may need a new shaft any time their swing mechanics change, and there are a variety of reasons why this could happen. For example, new players may get fitted for a set of clubs, but as they spend time on the course and get more experience, they can outgrow their shafts.
Furthermore, there are times when players might need something new from their swing. This could require a shaft that is heavier, lighter or stiffer to achieve the desired results. If you’ve got the know-how as well as the equipment to deliver club reshafting, you’ll be upselling customers in no time with the essential club repair and maintenance services.
