I am curious how many wetsuits the average dive shop sells in a year?

We have designed a new "personalized" zipper pull for your wetsuit. We are thinking about offering these in a variety of colors (yellow, orange, red, black, blue, purple). They are made out of 3/4" polypro webbing with a strong black cord loop sewn into top to loop through the zipper eye. It can be personalized with a divers name, ScubaBoard nickname, dive shop name, dive club name, etc.

This idea came to me after several people ended up putting on my Henderson Hyperstretch wetsuit because there were 5 divers with a size L just like mine.

We are thinking about selling them for $7.99 - $9.99 with up to 12 letters embroidered. We would sell them to Dive shops for $5.00 (you take the order and charge full price) or you could provide a link on your website and we send you $2.00 for each zipper pull ordered (and 8% of net sales of any other product they buy -- luggage tags, bc tags, etc.)

These would make great useful "trip gifts" for your customers.

What do you think? Useful?
