New Bedford, MA, June 21, 2006 . . . . Ahead, a leader in branded headwear, apparel and accessories for the golf marketplace, offers golf courses the ability to use the dynamic Woven Appliqué Label on two new premium customized golf gloves.
"Ahead has earned a reputation for superior quality and cutting edge innovation especially with our ornamentation techniques," stated Jeff Waller, national director of sales, Ahead. "We’ve experienced tremendous success with last year’s introduction of our Woven Appliqué Label. It was very well received and courses are now looking for more ways to use it beyond headwear and apparel."
"The Woven Appliqué Label can be customized on the new premium Ahead golf glove. The glove is made of 100% Cabretta leather and features Lycra knuckle inserts for greater flexibility and fit.
"Course logos really pop on the glove flap with the Woven Appliqué Label," continued Waller. "We have noticed an increase demand for more customization and branding initiatives at the club level. Custom golf gloves are a natural progression for us because it allows our customers new ways to utilize their inventory of labels that we carry in-house."
Ahead also offers the "Rapplique" label, a rubberized version of the Woven Appliqué Label for customization. It adds a great athletic look to the glove. The custom glove featuring the Woven Appliqué Label and Rapplique label has a suggested retail of $19.00.
One of Ahead’s hallmarks is continuity. Ahead offer golf courses many different ways to utilize ornamentation techniques especially with their ballmarker program. The program allows courses to use their customized markers in over one hundred accessory items, headwear and now golf gloves.
"We have received outstanding feedback on our custom glove program and customization options," added Waller. "It is about service and this is a very turnkey program that offers quick turnaround times for easy fill-ins."
The Woven Appliqué Label and ballmarker golf gloves are also available in Ahead’s Kate Lord line as well.
