Pour que le green soit clean
<p>
Hi !</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
My name is Franck. After some experience in the world of business, I have decided to take a chance to make a living out of my passion, the golf.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
My adventure started one year ago when I designed a new and unique model of divot repair tool displayed in an original box.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Since then, I have been around the French golf courses striving to promote my product while facing the challenges of every single entrepreneur!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To my great satisfaction, my product has received an enthusiastic welcome.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In order to pursue this adventure, I must develop and I need a boost to start the 2nd stage of a trip that will hopefully be as long as possible.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In advance, thank you to all Kissbankers for their generosity!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The more we are, the least I’ll fall into the hole of the green of the golf course !</p>

<strong>WHAT IS A DIVOT REPAIR TOOL?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Golf is a sport which offers a lesson of good manners. On the course, courtesy and respect to the players as to the green are part of the rules. It is the etiquette.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
My idea was to encourage those rules and good manners and to make this sport more accessible as it still regarded in France as an elitist leisure activity. I designed an essential and affordable object, cheaper than what is on the market: the <strong>divot repair tool</strong>. It is used to repair ball marks from golf balls that land on the green.</p>

<p>
<strong>THE ADVANTAGES OF MY PRODUCTS</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To rewrite the golf’s traditional codes and break from the game’s usual sobriety, I’ve designed a colourful divot repair tool in 10 different varieties.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Made with steel, shaped in wire, my divot repair tool is <strong>light</strong>, <strong>resistant</strong>, <strong>convenient</strong> and <strong>elegant</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
It is equipped with a clipped <strong>ball-mark</strong>, another accessory used on the green to avoid disturbing the position of the other balls.</p>
<p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
It is displayed in a box which also acts as a promotional object.</p>
<p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Last but not least, the box and its tools are <strong>entirely made in France</strong>, by craftspeople of my area, the Pays-de-la-Loire.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>

<p>
The <strong>color</strong>, the <strong>original design</strong>, the <strong>real user friendliness</strong> as well as the recommended <strong>sales price</strong> have appealed to everyone who has used it.</p>

Allocation of funds
<p>
Today the box Zanahary is established in over <strong>50 golf courses</strong> and <strong>23 French departments</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Those promising results enable me to consider the second phase of my project:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
- To <strong>develop the commercial tools</strong> to prospective advertisers, sponsors, investors, partners…</p>
<p>
- To design and implement a promotion and <strong>communication strategy</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
… while continuing to introduce the box to the French golf courses (700 in France, there’s still a long way to go…) and widening the scope towards new targets (proshops, companies…)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>

<strong>HOW MUCH DO I NEED?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>

With those funds, I will be able to finance the production of commercial tools and pay the person who will help me in the promotion and communication campaign :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
1. production costs: 500 header paper sheets (letterheads ?), 500 pockets with flap and its content (4 two-sided documents), 1,000 flyers, 100 press packs: 900 €</p>
