The Bar is now Closed

Wow! What a show it was!

I’m just going to say right out of the gate, that we utilized our space the best out of all the booths at the PGA show this past week. I mean, just look at the setup below...

And if you build it they will come! Was that ever the truth. I’ve never had a time in my life where I was unable to pull out my phone for an entire day because I was too busy. It was borderline chaotic at times! A positive chaos though. Controlled chaos...kind of like driving in China - every man for himself, but in the end, everybody gets to where they’re going. In our case, everybody got their order in...I think.

And now...2 weeks minimum of follow up. I really shouldn’t even be blogging right now, but I know a lot of you have been looking for an update. So you’re welcome. Ha.

Ideas were rolling through our heads at the show regarding booth ideas for next year. As per usual, if you have any clever suggestions, please let me know below.

Thanks for staying awesome out there. Kikkor is officially on the map.

James,

My name is Andre and I currently live in Winnipeg. I'm in the process of moving to Bahrain for work. On a side note, I will be playing my golf at the course that the European tour just played its season opener that was televised on the golf channel.

A friend recently called me the "world's oldest teenager" at a young 41. I LOVE THESE SHOES! I will be buying a couple of pairs before i go to hopefully stand out when i play some golf in the Middle East. I hope to get back to a low single digit and do KIKKOR proud!!

Have you given thought to do a Canada version kind like you did for the Husky special edition? Sure would be cool to be playing abroad with a nice red Maple Leaf on my sweet kicks!!!

Take care and good luck!!

Andre

JL and readers -- I was at the PGA Show and will attest to James' claims about bellying up to the Kikkor booth bar -- you kicked it. Very well done. Was there room to try on the shoes or did you just pour cocktails and take orders? I like that strategy -- keeps your samples cleaner. :) You are on our, the media's, radar for sure now. We'll be in touch and congrats on a great first PGA Showing. We luv newbies!

Congrats on a good first showing at the PGA Merch Show. Glad to hear my 2011 Tenny's are coming earlier than expected as well. High fives!

I spent two days at the show, stopped by your booth multiple times, and have product coming. James, you will be hearing more from me. Warren in Indiana.

High tens on the booth. Were there prizes for the best display booths? Likewise I agree that next year you should have more space for fitting, sizing and so on and perhaps some muscle to keep things tidy. Also great idea about the Maple Leaf on the KIKKS for a special edition. Looks like you had a great show! Keep going strong.

Hey James, You guys definitely had one of the best booths at the show. The bar setup was great. And it got really awesome after the Kikkor's started flowing. Keep up the good work. I don't know how you guys are going to top that next year.
