Edit, didn't quote who I was replying to.
My guess is as none of that stuff is actually produced by Castore it would mean going out and finding a supplier, negotiating a deal etc etc. The likes of the Fat C*nt's empire are used to doing that sort of thing for the tat they sell in their shops but it will be alien to Castore.Thing is with Rangers fans, they will buy a whole range of branded stuff if available.
Issue is there isn't much apart from the odd mug or glass etc and the rest is Castore stuff.
It should be wall to wall products such as but not restricted to golf balls, ducks, decanters, jewellery and watches, bedding, curtains, rugs, signed memorabilia, decent quality footballs, a range of books, vodka,gin and whisky (some available elsewhere from the club), badges, flags, a range of scarves and hats, rucksacks, pens, note books, pencil cases etc for the kids ,basically any reasonable quality item that can be branded and sold for a profit making the club some income and a catalogue with all items listed where some bulkier items like beer fridges etc can be ordered from.
I don't understand why there is not a huge range unless castore are more interested in flogging their strips and clothing sort of stuff.
Not sure they actually make the shirts etc either unless the Chinese factories are exclusively theirs.My guess is as none of that stuff is actually produced by Castore it would mean going out and finding a supplier, negotiating a deal etc etc. The likes of the Fat C*nt's empire are used to doing that sort of thing for the tat they sell in their shops but it will be alien to Castore.
I'm not suggesting the cannot do it if the will is there, simply offering a suggestion as to why it seems a struggle for them. The stuff would certainly sell, though for some of the obscure stuff maybe not in the numbers required to merit it. We should definitely have a wider range of non-kit stuff on offer though.
They made a big thing of highlighting that the t-shirts for Sevilla were not Castore products. I wonder if Castore got them in from the third-party supplier - or if the Club did?Not sure they actually make the shirts etc either unless the Chinese factories are exclusively theirs.
No matter, if it is solely down to Castore they could easily outsource and have any amount of products produced. Maybe the club should insist on it or perhaps the club have agreed to the small range that currently exists.
Either way, revenue is being missed re lack of products in my view.
The first ones out that where online only where uefa products. The ones in store are CastoreThey made a big thing of highlighting that the t-shirts for Sevilla were not Castore products. I wonder if Castore got them in from the third-party supplier - or if the Club did?
This is definitely the case in my opinion. It's almost like two separate departments, one for the football side and one for the day to day Castore side.Correct. Or at least they aren't prioritising Rangers stuff.
They're here to build their brand and therefore will put their customers first.
More margin in their gear as well.

Used to love going into JJB sports years ago. I’m sure most of them used to have its own Rangers section which sold a whole range of different products & were better stocked than the main shop is now

I'm stating a fact that the shop doesn't have a great selection of products.I don't imagine Nike or Adidas ever made our branded mugs / pens / bed sheets in the past so not sure why Castore would.
Easy to have another go at then though...

Whether that is down to Rangers, Castore or legacy issues with the fat spiv remains to be seen.
Someone made them. The club shop sold them and money was made.
My dad got me Rangers bed sheets out JJB when I was a boy. There was loads of merch back thenUsed to love going into JJB sports years ago. I’m sure most of them used to have its own Rangers section which sold a whole range of different products & were better stocked than the main shop is now
Post #723?Anyone received a despatch email from Castore yet?
I usually kill some time in the Ibrox store before home matches and the non Castore souvenir stuff never seems to be popular but that also might be due to the fact that there is a fairly limited amount and the stuff is not great. If they don’t get the range right and it doesn’t sell then they will be less inclined to invest in more stock they might struggle to sell. Common sense is you get the range right and the sales will follow.Thing is with Rangers fans, they will buy a whole range of branded stuff if available.

Castore Trustpilot reviews over delivery are truly appallingPost #723?
Our retail, merch and distribution offering and set up is generally very poor.I usually kill some time in the Ibrox store before home matches and the non Castore souvenir stuff never seems to be popular but that also might be due to the fact that there is a fairly limited amount and the stuff is not great. If they don’t get the range right and it doesn’t sell then they will be less inclined to invest in more stock they might struggle to sell.

I was in a shop in Leipzig before our game just having a browse and they had souvenirs for Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and Dortmund and the selection was light years away from what we have at the moment.
Ordered it Friday, dispatched Saturday, arrived Monday.Anyone received a despatch email from Castore yet?
Your avater pic delivered it ehOrdered it Friday, dispatched Saturday, arrived Monday.
That's like amazon prime for castore
No idea. You asked if anyone had received a despatch email though. That's what I answered mate.Castore Trustpilot reviews over delivery are truly appalling
anyone know what stocks like plz?Waa planning on taking kids into shop tomorrow, anyone have any idea what stock levels were like for kids kits?
What size?Waa planning on taking kids into shop tomorrow, anyone have any idea what stock levels were like for kids kits?
Ordered Friday afternoon and had email to say getting delivered todayHas anyone else received a Castore order that was made on friday yet?
Needing a 7-8 and a JLWhat size?
Both stores only had 5/6 year sizes for the kids kit yesterday, that's all they recieved.
They had plenty of the junior sizes though (shirt only)
Maybe they got a fresh delivery yesterday or this morning.
Don't know if they actually do 7/8 in kids kits.Needing a 7-8 and a JL
They do according to the website mate.Don't know if they actually do 7/8 in kids kits.
That would probably be a JS or or JM shirt
Nope, ordered 2 tops & Garcia hoodie on Friday, no update on the order.Has anyone else received a Castore order that was made on friday yet?
Did they have Adult small?Just been at the Ibrox store. No home tops in a medium this morning
Hope we're charging a lot of money for that big chunk of advertising space because it does look a bit crap.The home kit is a lot nice close up than the pictures.
The massive sleeve sponsor is ridiculous though.
Didn't notice I'm afraid. Most of the rails were Large and upDid they have Adult small?
Noticed Castore have a Klarna option. Great if money is tight but you want the kit now and pay it off interest free with 3 monthly payments of £22.
Yes, my order has been delivered today.Has anyone else received a Castore order that was made on friday yet?
