Tippmann Launches Special Order Program for X7®

8/19/2008

New program makes it easier and more affordable to order a fully-modded X7

Buffalo Grove, Ill. – Tippmann Sports is introducing a new in-store ordering program for its popular X7® marker. The program, scheduled to roll out at specialty paintball dealers in late August, utilizes an interactive countertop or wall-mounted display, which allows interested consumers to view and choose from six different X7® configurations. With just the flip of a page, consumers can see how the X7® looks with a variety of different modifications. Then, they can purchase a fully-modded marker or just the selected mods. Those purchasing a fully-modded marker will receive a special ten-percent discount. Within days, the new mods or fully-modded marker will be ready for consumers to pickup at their local paintball retailer.

We think this program will be a hit among consumers and retailers alike, said Ron Goldblatt, Director of Marketing for Tippmann Sports. It’s easier than ever for players to shop for and order a fully-modded X7®. Although the X7® is well known for the thousands of different looks it offers, we wanted to make it easier for consumers to see the performance benefits of the marker. Retailers will also like the new program because they can now promote six different markers in a footprint that’s about the size of a single X7®. The new display saves critical space while adding an interactive point-of-interest for their shoppers.

The six X7® configurations currently available through the special order program include: the UMP, X36, XP5, M16, AK47 and XP5SD-inspired markers. These fully-modded markers carry MSRPs ranging from $409 to $499, while the mods alone range from $145 to $245. The X7® Basic, which includes an AR-15 styled magazine with built-in storage compartment, adjustable rear site, modular shroud and a receiver with military-spec Picatinny rails, carries an MSRP of $319.
