Up Your Paintball Game With the Goblin Deuce Double-Barrel Pistol
Paintball and airsoft enthusiasts Goblin present its double-barreled, air cartridge paintball pistol, aptly dubbed the “Deuce.” The innovative gun incorporates a unique double-firing pin action with a selector switch allowing each barrel to either fire separately or simultaneously, resulting in twice the amount of power as its predecessor, the Solo. For those who already possess the first version, Goblin conveniently sells a separate conversion kit to help you upgrade your marker. Bundled with a tactical holster, O-Ring kits, air adaptors and extra barrels, the Deuce equips you with everything you need to conquer your opponent in your next paintball game, all in a handheld size. For more information, head over to the company’s website.

  PUMA Sees a Sales Growth in 2016 Thanks to Rihanna 

                                                                     

     PUMA has reported on its first quarter statement for 2016 and sales are up 3.7%, nearly $975 million USD (+7.3% currency adjusted), with the footwear category being the main growth driver and a “strong momentum in women’s business.”
According to the company’s brand and marketing takeaways:

One highlight for PUMA in the first quarter was the FENTY PUMA by Rihanna fashion show at New York Fashion Week in February. A series of styles for the female consumer have been launched successfully, both in collaboration with Rihanna as well as in our inline collection. Key footwear styles such as Creeper and FENTY Trainer sold out within weeks or days.

Rihanna has been leading the creative direction for the brand since 2014 and highly-covetable items from her Fenty line have been known to resale for $1,000. PUMA CEO Bjorn Gulden stated, “The women’s business helps on the men’s side too. Rihanna opens the door.” With RiRi being hailed as the most marketable celebrity, it’s no surprise that her association with the brand has helped it thrive. PUMA also confirms the positive forecast for the rest of the year through new marketing concepts and innovative products.
