What a Weekend!

Well we survived our first Black Friday and the preceding weekend. Traffic was heavy all weekend and our super special tiered discount was very popular, I bet we repeat that from time to time. We were paid an extra special compliment from a family who returned to our store after checking out the competition and did all their shopping with us, commenting on our friendly and inviting atmosphere that was lacking where they visited before. That's what we are striving for and love the feedback!
This week we'll be getting the store stocked back up and all the special orders customers needed placed. As predicted we sold a ton of Sigg water bottles! The Sigg bottles look to be the stocking stuffer of choice this year. We hope to be receiving yet another large fill order this week with more new styles and accessories! Also the Mion Pen Shell Clogs should be all stocked back up this week after nearly selling out over the weekend.
Many thanks to our customers, both new and loyal, for making this past weekend a great success for us!  
A final note to everyone: Read Your Receipts! ;-)

Did You Know?

We have a lot to brag about here at Clintonville Outfitters. Everyone already knows how easy our store is to find and how cool our dogs are. But there may be a few things that our customers don't know yet, so let the list begin:
- We are the ONLY locally owned and operated outdoor adventure store in Columbus that focuses on hiking, backpacking, climbing and paddlesports. Don't let the others fool ya! We love bragging about this one!
- We are the ONLY store in central ohio where you can find Hurricane Kayaks, the lightest plastic boats on the market today. One of the best things about Hurricane is the brand is not in big box stores like Dagger, Perception, Old Town and Wilderness Systems are. Those used to be specialty brands, but not anymore.
- We are the ONLY store in Columbus carrying a wide selection of Teva footwear. Teva's fall line of shoes and trail runners are in stock now!
- We are the ONLY store in Columbus where you can find KAVU hats, bags and clothing. If you haven't yet discovered these guys or are tired of overpriced clothing, visit www.kavu.com 
-And once again: Sigg Waterbottles! Being the ONLY place in Columbus that stocks these "superior to plastic" bottles we are amazed at how many we sell. Sigg may be the most popular gift item in our store this year. Get yours now!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Few Things...

First off, there is a new red light camera here in Clintonville.  It is at the Indianola and Cooke Rd. intersection.  Stay safe and be aware.

Now on to store things.  Starting Tues (Nov. 6th) all of our 2007 kayaks will be on sale.  There will be a list posted on the website of the available models and their prices.  This is first come first serve, so make sure to act quickly if you are interested in any of the boats.  If you purchase a boat, all kayak accessories will be 15% off.  Knowing Columbus, there will be more opportunities to get on the water in the next couple months. 

Lastly, many people have been asking for some new Sigg styles in the store.  We couldn't agree more, however, we have had a hard time getting them in due to their popularity.  After 2 orders that went unfulfilled, we do have some new designs on the way that should land this coming week.  After that, we should have access to even more styles come the end of the month just in time for holiday shopping.
