GlobalGolf.ca Adds PING to Growing List of Product Offerings
Global Value Commerce (GVC) – owner and operator of the world’s largest e-commerce platform for new and pre-owned golf gear – has added PING to the long list of manufacturers’ equipment available to Canadian customers through GlobalGolf.ca.
Golfers in Canada now have access to the full PING line of products including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges, putters, golf bags and headwear. Some of the popular equipment to be offered includes the G410 series of clubs as well as the Sigma 2 and Vault 2.0 putters. Customers looking to try PING equipment before purchasing can do so through the groundbreaking Utry™ program, which provides a risk-free way to test the latest equipment from top brands.
Consumers simply select the club(s) they would like to test on globalgolf.ca/u-try and the company ships the product for a small trial fee per club. Within 14 days, the customer is asked to make a decision to keep the clubs and pay the current list price – less the trial fee – or return the club with a prepaid shipping label. All clubs can be tested for CAN$35 per club, while trials for full iron sets cost CAN$125.
“Canada is home to an extremely passionate community of golfers and we look forward to providing them an expanded product selection with the addition of PING,” says Ed Byman, CEO of GVC. “We are excited for our Canadian customers to check out the great equipment PING offers and utilize our UtryTM program to test those products that are most appealing.”
To be more accessible, and to better serve Canada’s large golf consumer base, GVC opened its distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario in 2017. As a result, Canadian golfers now enjoy significantly lower freight costs and accelerated delivery times.
By bringing structure and stability to how golf equipment is bought, sold and traded online at fair market value, and providing innovative new approaches to serve the golf consumer, GVC, is one of the leaders of the golf industry. Further, GVC was recently named to the National Golf Foundation’s inaugural list of the “Top 100 Businesses in Golf,” an honor recognizing the companies, organizations and associations of fundamental importance to both consumers and facilities involved in golf.
