But the fact is, in France, badminton must be as famous as… rugby (?) in Indonesia.
Badminton comes after :
Football, tennis, rugby, basketball, athleticism (especially running), swimming, biking, judo, fencing, volleyball, riding… again 10 sports (as golf, gym, sailing…)
I'm not kidding. This is simple, during London olympic games, france tv shows us 2 hours of badminton in 15 days (and it was about China cheating problem…)
Many french people knows the name of 3 french sailors. Nobody knows the best french badminton player, or even Lin Dan or Peter Gade…
There are only 2 (big) badminton suppliers in France. They sell tennis products and so a little bit of badminton equipment. I find they don't make lots of effort to land badminton players.
I have many contacts in french badminton, I like trading and I'm sure there is something to do about badminton business in France.
This is just an idea but many times, things can grow faster than we expect.
For the moment, there is an item which interest me especially. It could be a good beginning :
Shuttlecocks
In indonesia, how much cost a dozen of shuttlecocks (good quality, for competition) ?
For instance, a shuttlecock which resist to one game, at least :)
What brands use you ?
@Sulistyomo : I'm looking for a connection, a private person who has time to become informed about badminton equipment.
The best will be a person who looks for a job. At mid-term, I would like to leave mine and earn my living.
I don't think I need a store, I need a person like me, but in Indonesia. Or a person who wants to become it.
A person who likes to find good equipment at best price. And who can negotiate with indonesian procurement agent, send me the products (I lend money :)
I sell this good, original and cheaper product. We make benefits :)
But first, I have to check quality and price ( in RP or USD ).
I would like to start with shuttlecocks. I find them expensive and there is no real effort in France to propose a better offer to customer.
I am sorry if my purpose seems simplistic or uninformed but I think of creating this kind of affair since a moment, and so I submit my project to you.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
