WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (May 18, 2015) \u2013 Colt, in an effort to better serve it\u2019s core consumer base, has worked with its distribution partners to launch the new Colt Stocking Dealer Program.\u00a0 This program was created to support higher levels of consumer satisfaction, as Colt looks to strengthen its retail distribution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring Colt\u2019s brand promise \u2013 \u2018built one at a time, proven every round\u2122\u2019 to more consumers,\u201d says Colt\u2019s Sr. Vice President of Commercial Business, Paul Spitale. \u201cWe need to ensure that when a future Colt owner visits a Colt Retailer, he or she has the opportunity to experience and select from a fuller compliment of Colt firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Stocking Dealer Program ensures that dealers have ready-to-go inventory on hand of Colt\u2019s core models, including the Colt .380 Mustang\u00ae, Defender\u2122 or Combat Commander\u00ae, 1991 Series Government Model\u00ae, and either an LE6920 modern sporting rifle variant or Gold Cup\u00ae, depending on the market. In order to support this new program, Colt has been increasing production rates dramatically in the last 60 days and will continue to ramp-up throughout the implementation phase, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.<\/p>\n
Colt has recently refocused its core model lineup to ensure ample opportunity for consumers to acquire the most sought-after models. These same models have been repositioned in the market with more attractive suggested retail price points: the standard 1991 Government Model now has an MSRP of $799, the Combat Commander carries an MSRP of $849, the Defender is now positioned at an MSRP of $899 just to name a few. \u201cWe had a very successful NRA Show, where we had a great opportunity to speak directly with Colt Consumers and Colt Distributors,\u201d says Spitale. \u201cBoth were excited about Colt and our repositioning in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n
