Hi everyone,
Luke here, time for another newsletter, our last for the year.. busy year here at DriftaHQ, lot happening as always.. got the new factory almost finished, we’ll hopefully move in in January.. putting beechy’s drawer fitouts in there, the new cnc, and also our new wrapping packing area for the shopping cart, so that will make things much more efficient and easier for our operations, and allow us to grow a little more : )
I’m heading to Sydney this arvo , picking up our biggest order yet for snow peak, 10 tonnes, a full 40 foot container.. so yeah I’ll pick that up in the morning, get it all back here to Drifta, we got heaps of backorders to send out, cooksets, hammers etc, so they will all go Friday/ Monday, be delivered in time for Christmas.. the new snow peak hexa tarps are going great, selling heaps of these, they are such a good product, to easily provide shade and shelter at your campsite.. the new uniflame one is now available also, it’s a bit cheaper, slightly different shape, but still a very nice tarp..
Jake has got many new products on the website, starting to stock some of the Sea to Summit range, we’ll be adding more of these all the time, sea to summit has many hiking related products, but many are also idea for camping, so we’ll select products relevant to what we do, and add them in.. we put up the jetboil which is a popular compact stove, some blow up pillows and also some sleeping matts..
Lots of new canvas also, we have over 200 products now in the range we produce, the biggest range of camping related canvas bags in the world.. jake has put up our new drawer bags, also a clear top version, some sleeping matt bags, and soon a portable toilet bag.. I think we’ve almost got everything covered in the bag range, we have to stop soon with new bags, I promised jenny no more than 150 lol.. but yeah almost towards the end now, so we can concentrate on colours, and products, the girls are making world class canvas bags, it’s awesome to see them being made in a little town like Gloucester..
A uniflame order is on the water, left japan two weeks ago, so the popular uniflame toaster will be here soon, we have over 100 of these on backorder, so they should be fine to go our also before Christmas..
So yeah most items on our cart are in stock, and can still be delivered before Christmas.. canvas bags are always a great present, for someone you not sure of what they might like, everyone can always use a canvas bag for something.. the beach bags are very popular this time of year, and also we are starting to sell heaps of the grocery bags.. we have introduced many new colours, now green, camo, blue, pink, grey and beige, so many products are available in many colours.. also we have the gift vouchers available, so that’s an easy way to give someone a present, if you not sure what they might like.. : )
We’ll be closing down between 23rd dec and 8 th jan.. there maybe someone around during that time if an urgent order is needed and someone is passing thru Gloucester, best way to contact us is on the live facebook messenger thru the website.
If you not already on the Drifta fans page on facebook, jump on and have a look.. an amazing group of lovely people, chatting about camping and Drifta products, so it’s a great way to find out about products, or be part of something awesome..
Our next DFCE (Drifta Fans Camping Event) is on now 18th – 21st May next year, at Camp Cobark same as last time..we’ll organise more in the new year, but the last event was a huge success, Ronny Dahl was very keen to be involved again, so he’s coming over with a few of his boys, so it will be bigger and better again.. more info on this yeah soon..
So yeah just like to say on behalf of all our staff here at Drifta, thank you very much for your support over this last year, and some people the last 15 years : ) we now employ 70 local people here at Drifta, with 7 different business’s under the Drifta brand, I never imagined something like this would eventuate when I started building Drifta 200’s in my double garage 16 years ago, but this is what it has become, a fantastic medium sized manufacturing and retailing business, in a small country community town, providing unique camping and 4wding related products, many of which you can’t buy anywhere else in the world.. we have many amazing dedicated staff, and we are all very proud of what we have all created, but it’s all based around you the customer, so we are very grateful and thankful of your support.. have a wonderful Aussie Christmas, hope you can a relaxed and peaceful time with family, and hope you can all get out camping at some stage : ) all the best, from Luke, and all the staff here at Drifta.. : )
