8 Golf Products Your Laser Business Should Be Selling

Want to hear something crazy? The American golf industry is worth $102 billion a year. And while we're not going to start making golf clubs, we are looking at everything surrounding the game, like personalized gifts, golf outings, golf trips, tournaments, charity events, corporate outings, wedding parties and all the accessories. Yes. Now, you don't need a large portion of the $102 billion industry. You just need one product line and one specific customer. Today, we're going to show you seven products that you can make with your laser. We're going to tell you how much they cost, how much you can sell them for and who you should sell them to. At the end, we're going to combine them into three offers, including one of them that could lead to tournament or corporate orders. Now, we're not trying to compete with large golf companies selling clubs, shoes or thousand dollar launch monitors. We're looking for products that are personal, giftable and easy to customize. And that we can produce in quantities from one to 100. For this video, we've selected eight golf items that are easy to personalize and easily sellable for each item. We're going to be looking for five things. What is it? What does it do? How much does it cost? How hard is it to produce? How much can we sell it for? And at the end, we'll come back and say how to market it and who to market it to. Giftable golf item number one, a bag tag and tea holder. This one holds about five teas. We get this for about two dollars and 10 cents. And the process is super easy. This could be done in about two minutes in any of the lasers. And because it's nice and stiff, it goes in there. No problem. You don't really need a jig. It's pretty easy to line up. You just make sure the the strap is out so that it will lay flat. It could be done on any of the lasers. This one takes about two minutes over on the F2 Ultra. It takes about 15 seconds. Once it's done, you can give it a little wipe with a magic eraser or some L.A. Awesome. And then I mean, this looks beautiful. I think you can easily sell this between 10 and 15 dollars. And you can personalize these. You could sell these on Etsy or your website or throw some funny sags on them that will catch attention. Get people into your booth at a craft show so you can do your personalization on the spot. I think funny sayings and personalization is probably the best way to go with these bag tags. And these are great impulse buys. Giftable golf item number two is the scorecard holder. Now, this one's a little bit more substantial than the golf tee holder, but it has great bundling potential. This one you open, you put your scorecard on the inside, has a little pencil holder. You're going to want to pay attention to a couple of things here when you engrave this one. You're going to want to make sure you've got the right orientation. You don't want to engrave this one upside down so that your pencil holder is on the left. You want to kind of keep it on the right because most people are right handed. Lefties don't come after me. Now, you're also going to want to pay attention when you lay this in the bed of the laser. It is going to try and have this little raised area here where it's been folded. So we've been using these little magnets to make sure that they lay flat in the bed, because otherwise when it begins to engrave, if it's trying to do it on an angled surface, one side is going to be lightly engraved and one side is going to be a little darker engraved. And we don't want that. We want an even engraving. And it looks great. You've got a large surface area. You can engrave the front, the back. And again, these are great giftable items. They could sell individually. These are definitely great for personalization, but also to bundle it with that bag tag is a great option. Giftable golf item number three, the golf ball holder, bag tag. This one is a little more intricate. It actually holds two golf balls and four golf tees, two on each side. This is a little harder to engrave. These cost about $3.25. But once you set up a process, we actually set up a jig. So we have something that will insert into the holder to keep it nice and firm and, and caught and give me an engravable surface. We have a little piece for the back to keep the belt loop nice and taut for engraving. And then finally to get these little flaps, we have a little jig that this will lay in so that we can get nice flat surfaces across the entire thing. And again, this, this leatherette engraves beautifully. And in a minute takes about two minutes to do this engraving. Here it is with the two golf balls in it and the four tees. The tees are also engraved. This sells for anywhere like 18 to $25. It's really how you get this in front of the people. I'd do some social media posts, show it with the golf balls in there, pop them out, show it in its natural environment. Show how jaunty this little thing is. Giftable golf item number four is this nice gift set. This comes in the tin already and it has a divot tool and a ball marker hat clip set. Now what's cool about these two, this is the divot tool. This little piece here is magnet on top here. It has a very thin, just before one, very thin piece of wood on top that can be engraved, or you can actually kind of cut all the way through the metal. We've done both ways and they look kind of cool, simple to engrave these. The only thing you're focusing on here with these is making sure that you're engraving in a tiny little area. So something like the F2 Ultra, a diode machine does great in engraving, but we have tested them on all of our lasers and it engraves just fine on all of them. Now we purchased these for less than $3. You can sell these anywhere from 18 to 25, even $30 as a nice gift set. You're going to put it back on your hat clip here and your divot tool. Both of them magnet in, put it back in your tin and you've got a really nice personalized gift set. It's a whole gift set. Giftable golf item number five. This is actually items. These are golf tees. They're a lot like potato chips. You can't have just one. Nobody just has one golf tee and you don't just sell one golf tee. You're going to sell these in batches. These are great for adding perceived value to a bundle. It makes the whole thing complete. We get these for pennies. They're like a penny a piece. You could probably sell them each for like 50 cents to a dollar. What really makes these easy to do is a jig. Once you have a jig and you have your file set up, you can pump these out. The key to having a good tee is using small readable artwork. You don't want anything complicated and you don't want anything too tiny because it'll just burn up and become unreadable. The key to selling these, you sell them in batches of 10. You sell them anywhere from 10 to $15 in a batch of 10. But like I said, these are great for really rounding out the bundles. Giftable golf item number six, the stainless steel powder coated hip glass. This might be one of my favorites because you could get it for about $2. You can sell it between 15 and $20 all day long and these are the easiest and look the best on any laser. They look great on a diode. I'm about to do it in S1 right here. In about four minutes, it comes out beautifully. Three minutes later, I'm ready for the 19th hole, a little LA awesome, maybe a little magic eraser, but this thing looks beautiful. It looked beautiful on all of our machines. I really like how that stainless steel stands out from that black back there. This, this is great. I think, I don't even think you need to golf to have something like this. Giftable golf item number seven, the golf towel. Now this is something you may not have even realized you can engrave on, but you can engrave on a golf towel like this. We actually got these on Amazon think they're about $1.56 each and we can order them in bulk in quantities of a hundred. They're super simple to engrave in your laser. Now I'm using a more high powered laser. This is an 80 watt laser, but I really wanted to show you that you can engrave on these in any laser. You could use a lower power diode all the way up to a higher powered laser. If you're going to batch these, you're going to probably want to include some sort of a corner jig so that you can engrave it, take it out, put the next one in and just hit go. I'm going to add this to my bed. I'm going to include my towel in here. I did not remove the carabiner. I don't have to do that. It engraved just fine. I even engraving up near the carabiner. It was finally flat enough and the engraving came out beautifully. And what's interesting about this is you can wash these. So you might be thinking, Oh, once I engrave it and wash it, the design will go away. It does not. So you can use it over and over again. Your golfer can use it again, wash it when it gets stinky or dirty and you're good to go. Giftable golf item number eight, the golf glove. Every golfer needs a golf glove. And this one is nice and simple. I got these off of Amazon, Amazon basics. They were a two pack for $7. You could sell these anywhere from 20 to $30. So, and they've got a nice clean look to them. So you can engrave right here on the little Velcro tab here, put a monogram on there. The tricky part about this one, Aaron, I'm going to do a ton of these at one time. You will have to create some sort of jig if you do that or use a camera. This is going to be easiest with a camera, but laying it down, but you don't have to have it, which is why I'm using the S1 to show you don't have to have a camera. It's just going to be easier with a camera. Now you're going to want to lay this down and make sure this little tab is flat. That's the tricky part. And I put some magnets up here on other areas with on, on the glove so that I have a nice flat engraving surface area. And here's your personalized golf glove. It has a little here. We've put someone's initials on here with a little golf logo on it. This is perfect. It's going to mean a lot and it's definitely got a very high perceived value. Golf gloves are expensive in and of themselves, but personalize them like this. And truly you could sell these anywhere from 20 to $30. The golf economy is enormous, but that doesn't mean you try to sell everything to every golfer. Choose one customer, create one coordinated offer and make it easy for them to say yes. Your opportunity is one personalized gift or a hundred tournament markers, but you'll never know unless you make that sample and get it in front of the right buyer.
