Our sales of poly lead ropes are fairly dismal. Probably not so dismal for the size business we are, but when we look at how many halters and other similar items we sell - they do not compare well.
We move an incredible number of nylon horse halters.
We even sell more more than our fair share of trailer ties and cross ties.
But we barely make our "volume quota" (which lets us get them at a good price) on nylon lead ropes.
It HAS to be a price issue. Most of our online competitors carry the imported versions. We opted to stick with ropes that were at least assembled in the USA (invidually, the snaps and rope are presumably both imported). This puts us at a competitive disadvantage.
But we will give it a try. We have lowered the price to see if it makes a difference.
