In this new newsletter you’ll get one actionable business idea & learn marketing tactics to build your own ecommerce store. Let’s get cracking with this week’s idea and steps to generate revenue! 👀 What we've seen Padel is a racquet sport that combines elements of squash and tennis, played on a court enclosed by glass walls and mesh. The sport is always played in doubles and is a game of skill rather than strength, making it attractive to players of all ages & skill levels. Most players are able to pick up the game in less than 30min of play which has led to the sport skyrocketing in popularity over the last few years. Currently there are over 25 million players in the world, the majority being from Europe. To put this in perspective there are 87 million tennis players, and 20 million squash players, making Padel one of the most popular sports in the world. First invented in Mexico in 1969, the sport has surged with new players ever since the pandemic. Players looking for a fun, socially distanced sport found Padel a great way to stay connected with friends, whilst also getting in some exercise. ℹ️ Why this matters Despite the sport being extremely popular in Europe, the sport has yet to take off in other developed markets like the US, Canada & Australia. If we look at the number of monthly searches for ‘Padel’ in the US, we see that the number is quite low when compared to other European countries. However, due to the inherent viral nature of the sport, this will soon change. In the US market, Pickleball seems to be the dominant ‘new’ racquet sport. This also arose due to COVID and so Padel will need to compete, but I see no reason why both these sports cannot coexist. By helping grow the game in countries where they are not as popular, you will create a market that you can help service. As more and more courts begin to pop up, there is a unique opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to ride the Padel wave & create a sustainable business for themselves. [( 💡The idea Be an early adopter in a region outside Europe and create a Padel brand focussed on selling racquets, balls and leisurewear. 👣 Steps to execute Estimated time to revenue: 4-6 weeks - Establish partnerships with reputable Padel racquet manufacturers or suppliers. Find a manufacturer with an emphasis on quality. - Create your brand and worth with designers to create prototypes that can cater to various playing styles and skill levels. - Once you create a brand, distribution is key. Go door to door to local courts in your area and help promote their court to players. Help organise tournaments & social play sessions where you can let players test your racquets. This will be most likely where you sell your first racquets - Build an engaging website that showcases your racquet collection, provides detailed product information, and offers an easy-to-navigate shopping experience. Ensure the website is optimised for mobile devices. - Collaborate with local padel clubs, tournaments, and influential players to promote your brand. Sponsorship opportunities and participation in events can increase brand visibility and credibility. 🌱 Grow For those of you who have an existing store here are some resources which I think would be beneficial. - With the surging interest in print on demand selling, platforms such as Printful and Teepublic are gaining immense popularity.
