The Goal is to Give Away 100% of Profits

Photo presented
Also became the logo.
Our first goal was to give away 50% of profits but averaged 70% overall. The new goal is to give away 100% of profits to good causes. 

While we are not a non profit and a relatively small operation we started Escanaba Polo Mallet Co. with a goal of helping people and being positive actors in our community. 

At Point of Sale 10% of total sales go to different selected charities. The money left over after supplies we want to give away as well.

Everything counts in this world when we can help other people. It is a tough life out there and people do need that help so we seek to make whatever changes in the world we can. 

For those who love to play you may enjoy our mallets so consider buying some.

Multiple Polo Mallet Order Saves Significant $$

Just finished a larger order and sent out to a customer. We hope they like them. There are discounts to buying in bulk that some may not realize. For example you can save 30% if you buy multiples. eBay Polo Mallet. These are handmade and we support various non-profits with our proceeds as a good works company. Something to think about.

Brandywine Polo Club and Key Terms & Definitions of Polo

It is almost always nice to start with some definitions when learning to play Polo. Brandywine Polo Club put together Key Terms & Definitions of Polo. That helps in formalizing how each of the pieces of equipment work together to ensure the Polo player and horse can function to the best of their abilities. 

I thought it would be useful as a resource for our readership.

A Weighted Polo Mallet Head

 We listen to our customers regularly to see how to improve our products. We want to make one of the best most affordable American made mallets on the market. Each time we hear feedback we make adjustments and keep increasing our quality. We had high rankings before but want to be the absolute best we can be at Escanaba Polo Mallet Company. There are some steps I follow to gain as much feedback methods as I can to make improvements and changes.

1. Review Customer Wants: Everything goes back to your customer and what makes them happy. 

2. Define the Problem: We had a few people indicate they would like to see a heavier head. I couldn't agree more so I set upon a path to weight the head while still following my good works objective of sourcing locally. 

3. Experiment: Experimenting with different methods makes a big difference in new solutions. I experimented with different styles and weights and found what works best. Through experimentation I came on a process that works well for me so you will want to explore your solutions. 

4. Sell and Gather Feedback: The process of business renewal and improving the product makes a big difference in long term product success and marketability. Talk to your customers, get to know them, look at what people say about polo mallets and what kind of features they want. Do your market research.

In this case I used lead to make the head slightly heavier give it a little more bend in the shaft and the crack of the ball. While most people liked the heads we had and repeat bought we always want to improve (i.e. feedback loop). We then put just a little more weight into the head and found a way to customize this if need be. I believe that is the general strategy in which we will go. To create the best custom mallets for the price and then create a brand off of our mallets. Its just about learning and applying.
