Camp convention season is in its final month and in my travels I’ve come across a few folks I’d like to share with you. The first is Ugly Mugz. They were my neighbor at a recent convention and they definitely had the most creative convention booth display! Check out this brief intro video about Ugly Mugz:
Earlier this week I attended the CAMPference event at Horseshoe Bay in Texas. There were a few notable vendors there if you’re looking for suppliers.
- 413 Strengthgear is a great option if you’re looking for top notch customer service with Royleane and her company.
- Tim Sharp with CC Creations is another solid choice and am indebted to him for referring me to CAMPference.
- Lynn with Azarhia was new to CAMPference and was featuring cute athletic shorts and shirts for girls.
- Brittany and Elena from A Finishing Touch had some nice travel cases and had a neat offering using sublimation to apply photos to blankets.
In FunFangle-land, we’ve been working feverishly to further enhance camp stores across the country by bringing desired features to completion before this summer. In particular, there’s been a lot of attention and effort put into making an inventory system. This includes being able to update inventory on hand, setup modifiers for items, tracking distinct inventory for modifier combinations, barcode scanner support, and being able to generate wholesale reporting of inventory on hand.
These features are all small steps forward in transforming the camp retail experience for campers and staff alike. I’ve been blessed to have partners who have been helping to refine the system to better serve these interests. On this note, I’m pleased to share that Clydehurst Ranch in Montana, Haven on the Rock in Wyoming and Hidden Acres in Iowa has joined Club FunFangle for this summer. It’s wonderful to join them in their work this summer.
Irises appeared in our neighbor’s yard the other day, summer is approaching. It’s hard to believe! Next week I’m headed to Wisconsin to attend the WI/IA/NB CCCA Sectional at Wonderland. If you’ll be there, then please stop by to say hello.
