r Story NGING THE WAY UT COOLING so the idea of providing climate control when the heat spikes just makes sense. Reduce the temperature in the cart cabin by up to 40 degrees?? Sign me up! Who wouldn’t want to cut the heat by using a quality air cooling system? Our partnership with Fresair provides yet another custom feature to offer our cli- ents which enhances the user experience while improving the air temperature around them.” says Brian. Fresair has also continued to expand across the States and is now in many countries worldwide including Mexico, the Middle East, Asia, and even Can- ada. “Yes, they actually do get hot up there in Canada in the summer!” says Eric. “In the beginning, getting our product out there wasn’t easy. There had been products before that were simply flawed and we faced some skepticism. It was a case of just getting out there and letting people actually feel just how well it worked. In the early days, I even loaded my golf car on the back of my truck and took off on a road trip from California to Florida, showing the unit to every dealer and distributor who would listen! That early adventure helped us start some mo- mentum building as word of mouth spread. It re- ally is a product that has to be experienced to be believed now that we are being sold and installed by hundreds of dealers worldwide.” So now what is next for Fresair? “We continue to expand our outreach to different territories and look for strategic partners, both dealers, and distributors. We are ramping up our advertising streams to get more of the general public aware of our product and they are directly approaching us in greater numbers. What we really need are more dealers to help the customer with the instal- lation of the unit and we are actively seeking out more partners. For a skilled end-user, a self-in- stall is possible but obviously not preferred and with more dealers out there the more happy and cool customers we’ll have. It’s a great extra reve- nue stream for dealers too and our best partners have had great financial success introducing Fre- sair to their customers, whether on new cars or retrofitting to existing cars. We are also now work- ing with fleet managers of golf courses to install Fresair on all, or a portion, of their fleet in order to maximize their year-round revenue and entice players out to the courses even on the hottest of days. We have had terrific feedback from courses where they have seen an uptick of players coming back during the summer season.” says Eric. For golf applications, imagine extending your playing season to all year round, even on the hot- test days of the year, when the courses are emp- ty and the rounds are cheap. It’s like having the whole course to yourself whilst playing in com- plete comfort!
