HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (August 14, 2008) – Economic conditions are tough these days and many companies are struggling to stay in business. But for one West Coast company, it’s been business as usual with no signs of slowing down. West Coast Trends, Inc., a Huntington Beach, California-based company, designs and markets premium Club Glove golf travel bags, luggage, stand bags, cart bags, club covers and accessories.
What’s the secret to running a strong business in today’s economy? According to Jeff Herold, President, West Coast Trends, Inc., “Build quality products and build them in the USA. We’re banking on the U.S. support of American-made products. One Club Glove luggage piece has an effect on over 200 American families involved in all steps of production including weaving of fabric, molding the base, sewing the bags, etc. Imported items only affect a fraction of U.S. employees compared to products made entirely in this country.”
“Our competitors design around price while we price around design,” quipped Herold. His business philosophy seems to be working. His fiscal year-end lost no ground to last year’s sales and he expects an increase this year. “Our demographic is still traveling and enjoying their recreation,” continued Herold. “Corporate travel is ongoing and there are a lot of bargains available in golf vacations now.”
“These days, people are making careful buying decisions and are really concerned about value,” added Herold. “You cannot deny the quality to price quotient that Club Glove offers. Our products have been tested week after week and year after year by demanding traveling professionals who want the best products to carry the tools of their trade. Touring Golf Professionals have logged over 500,000 miles with Club Glove golf travel bags without ever needing repairs. That says a lot about the quality of our products.”
After outfitting five Ryder Cup teams and nearly every PGA Tour Player with luggage, it’s obvious that Club Glove is experienced at building long-lasting products.
