Yeti drops NRA ..lol

Most of my people went with other coolers, the Yeti was just to expensive, most of my buddies said fuck that, i can buy a new rod n reel for that price lol.

 

Plenty of good alternatives these days. Almost everyone has copied their design.

 

All my coolers wind up as bait tanks or bait coolers lol. I have a few nicer ones for all my frozen and cut bait though.

 

The kicker with these companies is the decisions are made my which side of the fence pays the most money. It has nothing to do with what is right or wrong, nothing to do with a moral compass, it simply the almighty dollar.

If sales drop past the point they expect, they reverse the coarse.

I would not trash mine nor get rid of it because the company chased the side of the dollar I do not support.

I'm sort of selfish that way. I'm looking out for me. I'm not a big supporter of causes. I won't object to causes verbally, but at the same time I am not going to march in their parade either.

Wait for the quarterly reports to come out and then you will see who spends the most money. Their decision will make their bank statement absolutely transparent.

And I agree with AGK. I can't see that much money for no more than I am looking for in a cooler. I have like 8-10 Wal-Mart types around. They work for me.

My son has a Yetti cooler that he paid around $400 for a couple of years ago. Being biased, as his truck payment was due (to me), I thought he had lost his freaking mind. It is way nice. It works as advertised.

I can't see it. But as I have readily admitted I am cheap. I could buy one for $30-$40 and spend the other $300 in a better way for me. Like AGK said, 'then replace it 10 times".

Agreed. I really do not have purpose for a cooler like that, and since I am cheap, if a one-off compared within the ball park I would save the money. I'm way cheap.

And Yetti, like every other business/corporation, will side on the side of the dollar that is the greenest.

I will tend to disagree on the last part. In the beginning it may have been hunters and fishers but now I think a large chunk of their buyers are upper middle class, status buyers, the ones that buy a 2500HD Chevrolet truck because they look cool at the club. Sort of off topic but the same principle. If you are close to 50 years old think back to the wealthiest neighborhood in your area. Rich folks, if you will. Do you remember the doctors, lawyers, and business owners driving a 1978 4WD truck? Now cruise that same neighborhood. It is cool to own a Z71, F-150, with big black wheels, and a tool box. Back then a truck was more of a need thus it was affordable. Now that same truck is more of a want, thus $70K with all the bells and whistles.

Same with Yeti. They decided to divide up and get every ones money.

Go to a concert. Look at the amount of Yeti coolers and huggies out there. These kids are kicking out mommy-daddy money for the name. The performance too, but the status of the name.

Which in business, is brilliant. They targeted another demographic and capitalized. I'm thinking they were thinking that set would carry them. The speaking out on the NRA, like you sort of said, cost them more than they thought. Then it is time to back track.

But back on topic. I have only read a couple of articles and watched a couple of videos. If they are already back tracking then the dollar signs fell on the other side of the table.

They have to go back and try to get them too.

So me being cheap, I'm looking out for that casual protester that will sell his in protest for way cheap! LOL

Plus I would be looking for some killer sales on Yeti stuff over the next coming weeks. Gotta bring everyone back into the fold.
