Competitive Edge Retail Division shows 18% Gain in client retail sales; more outlets opened

San Luis Obispo, CA – July 14, 2010 – SLOVentures, the retail division of Competitive Edge known as Golf Shop Live, reported today their year over year retail clients sales increased 18% in the first six months of 2010 compared to 2009, despite a slow economy that kept a stranglehold on much of the golf industry.

Greg Parks, Competitive Edge’s VP of Retail Sales, said “There were two main factors that fueled our retail growth. First, we have been blessed with a series of great products to represent, and we are proud of the fact that most of our new products are referrals from existing customers – it really tells us we are doing something right. Secondly, we have continued to open up more venues for our clients products”.

“Tom Watson and Phil Mickelson Instructional DVDs have continued to sell well, and the continued strength of products ranging from Medicus and Cadie Golf Carts to Jack Hamm golf clubs and Luminator Sports Glasses helps insure that retail buyers take our calls and examine the opportunities we represent,” added Parks, who has ran the Retail Division for three years.

Competitive Edge continues to broaden its retail footprint by opening new and expanded relationships with firms including Target, Amazon, Overstock, Sports Chalet and other retailers. More retailers are being added in 3rd Quarter in preparation for the 2010 Holiday Season. Competitive Edge clients now have products in more than 20,000 retail stores in the USA and Canada.
