Biggest stock order + Dunkeld-bound
Hey guys!
It's been all hands on deck this week. A busy week to say the least.
Big stock orders, event planning, product development, community building, pre-orders and more.
Let's crack in.
BIGGEST STOCK ORDER
If you've been around Runly for a little while, you probably know that we have been selling out of stock, a lot 😅.
As I've always said, it's a good problem to have, but still a problem.
I never like being out of stock. But sometimes, we've sold out of our best-sellers much, much faster than anticipated.
What that means is that we then go on pre-order, waiting for the next order to arrive.
In some ways it's become a bit of a cycle, because we sell out, or get close to selling out the next order before it even arrives!
You might be thinking, 'WELL JUST ORDER MORE! DUH!'
Totally. I hear you.
But it's not always that simple, mainly because of cash constraints. It's a lot of cash needed to front up huge stock orders!
However, in anticipation for the back half of this year which includes major running events, Black Friday and the Christmas period, we're stocking up big time.
In fact, we're placing our biggest orders ever.
It's exciting. Yet daunting.
In the next couple of months we hope to get a bit more rhythm and consistency so that we can be in-stock much more often than we're not!
In the last month alone, we've had enquiries from wholesalers and distributors from all over the world - Aus/Pacific, Africa, Asia, South America etc.
The goal for now is to keep the wheels turning, make sure we're stocked up, continuously improve and develop our product range whilst also building a great community (that's you!).
PRE-ORDERS INCOMING
On the subject of stock, a big thanks to those that have placed a pre-order for incoming stock. It looks like much of our pre-order stock will be coming in next week!
We'll be working overtime to get your pre-orders out as fast as possible.
If you haven't yet secured your pre-order, you can still get an epic deal here.
WE'RE HEADING TO DUNKELD THIS WEEKEND
This weekend we're heading to the Victorian Grampians in Dunkeld for the Peaks & Trails trail running event.
This is an event we've had locked in for a long time.
It's a small-ish community event, run along an epic trail that I actually ran just a few months ago.
The fam and I have had this one locked in on the calendar for a while, an excuse to get up there for the weekend, do some exploring of our own and get involved in a great community event.
We'll be popping up in our brand tent at the event hub on Sunday, while also trialing some of our new product displays for the Melbourne Marathon in a couple of months.
If you're in the area on Sunday, come say G'day!
Run well,
Robbie
