    Default What is Elites' problem

    Why is it that Elite never has anything in stock? I mean 98% of the stuff they sell on their website is out of stock and remains that way forever. At least it seems so. I love my pure and ELite seems to be doing well and growing, can they not figure out their own supply issues? I really wonder why they don't have enough supply for demand.

    Call em up. Chances are they have what you want.

    You're right though. It would be nice if they did a better job on the website. It's in pretty sad shape stock wise most of the time.

    I have to agree it would help us dealers out and everyone else.

    I havent needed to buy anything off the website, but I would be irritated by this as well. But like everyone has commented. Just call them, they seem to have everything available.

    Ya a couple of years ago I sent my warranty card with my free hat selection. They sent me a ugly blue thing that I didnt select telling me they were out of stock. A week later my buddy comes over with a stack of new Elite hats that they just gave his dealer. I was P.O.ed

    I have bought Elite stabs, quivers, and other accessories by calling them directly. Each item was listed as being out of stock.

    I know how you feel. I went to the E-store to pick up a soft bow case. It said they were out of stock, so I bought a Tarantula deluxe case from my local Scheel's store. Not too long after that, I saw someone post that they called Elite and they had them in stock, but the website was not up to date.

    I have a sales background and with the amount of people who do their shopping online now, I just see $$$ going out the door. Most people will not pick up the phone and call. They will believe what the website says. If they want to hire me on, I'll take on the E-store. There is a ton of money that can be made in apparel and accessories. I always see the "catch us if you can" shirts on guys at the archery club or customers walking around at Scheels. Not to mention the number of pickups that have the Mathews, Bowtech or Hoyt stickers in the windows. I know Elite is growing fast and from a marketing standpoint they would be able to get their name out there even better by using the best advertisement.......us. JMO

    Very good point........ Growing too fast causes 90% of the problems that I have seen and heard going on. I would love to come on board and help them grow the company even more. Wish they were still in Washington state! lol Not going to move from coast to coast.
