Online Club Shop

[WA_Don]

Does anyone know when the club shop will get their act together and update the site with the new gear? im itching to see the new range

[WA_Don]

surely it isnt that hard to take a few pics and put them on the site??

 

think we need to ditch whoever provides the site and find a new one as for as long as i can remember we have had a shit selection of gear online

Aberdeen FC need to radically shake up their merchandising efforts and they need to start selling stuff outwith the club shops again.

[Huntlysheep]

I've said this why not open a shop on the High street in Aberdeen, also why not strike up a deal for the merchandise with Sports direct etc. Appeal to people i'm sick o just seeing fucking weegie scum & English Premiership shirts in the sports shops.

'cause nae cunt shops in Old Aberdeen, and anyway, it's a 5 minute walk from the High Street down to the Pitt'

Does it not maximise the profits keeping it in house?

 

Due to the shop location we probably are missing out on customers though.

It maximises profits but decreases volume and visibility.

 

My sis in law who knows nothing about football wanted to buy her son (a Dons fan thanks to my influence/bullying) a football shirt recently. She was distressed she couldn't find him a Dons strip so rather than come home empty handed, bought him a CHELSEA strip. I'm certain there are hundreds of others out there in a similar position.

 

The club shop does not earn any passing trade. You have to be specifically going there. They're missing out on lots of sales because of their short-sightedness. And the internet site is utterly appalling. To call it amateur is being kind to them.

Yeah it's ridiculous. Considering the support we have, they are missing out big style by not sorting this out

That's what I was getting at but you worded it better.

What we need is a stall in Union Square selling home and away tops and tickets. Massive passing trade and a small expense (£3k pm for the stall + wages, costs etc.) for what would be the best advertising space in Aberdeen!

Sounds like a decent idea. Maybe getting a few of the players to work behind the stall as well to drum up interest and get more people visiting it. Maybe not Flood though, he's got a face for radio.

I think a lassie with big yams, long legs and a short skirt would work better!

Don't think any stock at moment to put on to website!!

Yams?

 

 

I'm not sure how a woman holding a few vegetables is going to increase shirt sales

I was thinking more along the lines of...

 

 

 

Edit: Michty me! What a size!! And I'm nae talking about her breests. Sorry mods. I'll awa and try and find something smaller.

They should have a shop at the airport. Loads of international travellers, how many folks would want something wee to take home to their bairns?

 

But they winna cos they are a bunch of useless fuds, and any criticism of them is met with a disturbing level of greeting by a bunch of wimen.

[dj_bollocks]

Let's not forget this is a club that didn't produce anything for the 30th... Nae fucking clue these knob heads...

[newcastlered]

Could be worse had the misfortune of being in dundee recently and saw the high street has a fuckin bright green celtic shop. Epitomises everything wrong with scottish football if local kids would prefer to support guffs or weegie scum to their local team. Although the jutes are both shit so perhaps fair dues

[Robbie Winters]

Aye they did, sure I saw some essential things like passport covers and hip flasks decorated with Gothenburg artwork.

Suppose that those are items any Scottish fitba fan does not really need nowadays

[Redstar]

 

I've bought two phone covers from them, the red one turned pink within a month and the black one fell apart on day 2.

Trust Milne to have been fu*ked over by the gang master of the Chinese children.

That's a sign of a club in terminal decline.

[Moorie86]

Dolly Digital have a better selection than the club shop.

[RUL]

Yeah but dollys stuff is expensive and looks shit whenever I've seen it. That mcginn t shirt for starters, pish.

[Makaveli]

The airport idea is good one - most airports I have been to have at least the local teams strip for sale in the duty free shop/souvenir shop.

 

Lots of business men looking for an easy gift for thier kids - would at worst get folk last minute buying for holidays etc.

[RUL]

I don't think anyone flying in and out if Aberdeen would generate enough revenue..unless the airport gifted us a free shop

[The Boofon]

It's a good idea for an airport that flies to hundreds of destinations directly. Aberdeen has about a dozen overseas destinations at best.

 

There wouldn't be the demand at ABZ compared with other larger airports.

[Makaveli]

I don't think they would need a full shop just have a few strips on hangers in the duty free shop - they would sell quite a few to impluse buyers alone.

That's also known as the Lynx effect.

[tommo1903]

the airport shop idea is a briliant one

 

folk coming here for business would maybe buy something as a souvenir too

So should we sell Aberdeen tops at Prestwick then? Fud.

I can count 33 different overseas destinations on ABZ's Wikipedia's page.

 

It's also currently the 14th Busiest in the UK, where do you suggest we put the shop instead that's busier?

 

• A London Airport?
• One of the Central Belt pair?
• Manchester?
• Belfast??

All it needs is a rail in the "Scottish" tat bit of the Duty-free with a few current Home Kits and an Angus the Bull toy, then every guilt ridden businessman who's missed some event in their kids life can go buy them a shitty little gift to make up for it.

 

The fact that the majority of flights from Aberdeen are to London, Shetland & Norway is about as relevant as a 'Bluto' post.
