Well it has been a big couple of weeks for us, with the Melbourne show and moving of caravans, coupled with the preparation of some great new merchandise, Rachel getting more and more work coming in, we needed a break on the weekend. Sorry to all those who have been waiting for the blog updates.
Where do I start? The Melbourne show is always a big show, not quite as big as Sydney, this year 6 days but going from 9:30am to 6:00pm which in my view was a complete waste of time. Most people went home from 4:00pm to try and beat peak hour traffic. We twiddled our thumbs for the last couple of hours each day. We were also down the back corner this year, which dropped the volume of people through our stand. We did have more serious Geist people coming through however which was great to see. Our stand couldn’t have been to bad though as we won the Best Caravan, Camper and 5th wheeler stand of the show award. That’s two big shows we have won now. See how we go in Brisbane.
It was also great to catch up with Paddy (our UK Geist owner) and Urlie(hope spelling is right) from our LMC factory in Sassenburg Germany. Their input to our product is critical to its success and some vigorous discussions were held with them to improve our product and sales even more. Your suggestions are welcome for further talks later in the year.
Congratulations also go to Peter and Helen who purchased a XK630 from me at the show, hopefully Peter can have a wonderful birthday present on the 10th of May if the boys at EuroRV can get their new van ready in time.
Overall a good show, again thanks to our sponsors Volkswagen and Viking Kayaks for supplying wonderful products which undoubtedly helped us win best stand again.
