RE: Mathews, BowTech ..........Need Webmasters!!
It really doesn't matter if a manufacturer decides not to allow internet sales. Another reputable mfg will allow it. Those who prefer to shop by computer will give their business to the companies who offer it. This is simple stuff and unpreventable. Those who prefer to give their business only to companies that only support shops that sell locally, will do that. There are niches in every business and if a particular market isn't being sold to, then some company will fill that role. This will never change unless a law is passed, making it illegal to sell over the internet, and that ain't going to happen.
On another note, I must say that when I go to a website in Feb of 2002 and see 2001 bows, I'm a bit put off. It would seem to me that you would have any new models come out before year end. A manufacturer may have a good reason to do this, but many are going to see it as the company not being able to handle things in a timely fasion. I mean, did you ever see a car manufacturer come out with a new model in February of the model year?
