Anyone attending please come up, say g'day & introduce yourself.

It'd be nice to put a face to the names of TW members & customers who may have bought from Treegear online.

Ok, the event has been run & won.

Details coming soon on competition results.

TREEGEAR had a great day, with plenty of sales on the day, but importantly great feedback on our setup & being involved, seems we got exposure to many that maybe didn't know about us as an option that are now glad to have an alternative. Lots of comments too on how much better our pricing is as well as having a few new unique items the others don't.

It was great also to meet many customers who had bought online before, nice to put a face to so many names.

Anyway, I hope all who came along had a good day out, sounds like most of you got to meet the TREEGEAR girls Melinda & Nikki too.

Also, congrats to the winners of the TREEGEAR Lucky Prize Draw.
I decided to put up some nice prizes that anyone on the day who joined our mailing list would be entered for. That way, you don't have to be a winning climber to win some kit.

1st Prize: Ben Evans-Smith (Jims Trees) took home a Petzl Sequoia harness valued at $499.95.


2nd Prize: Michael Hili (Freelance Contractor) received a Silky Zubat valued at $89.95....even though he just bought one off me a few weeks ago!


3rd Prize: Mrs Markowski (Bayside City Council) won a Sawpod scabbard holder.

In my opinion, tree girls are the one thing that most retailers are missing. Girls always make me want to buy stuff. Put some lovely lady in a sequoia harness, a hardhat, and very little else, and I'm likely going to buy everything you have.
