Charles Tyrwhitt: Mission Complete

Last edition, Nick Wheeler of CT set SWIG® Hip Flasks a target of selling 200 Hip Flasks on the webstore in March.

I'm very proud to say that you helped us smash the target.
 

SWIG Target: 219 / 200 (Complete)

You guys helped with the win, so have a look at the March report! 
3,500 of you came and checked out the website..

So a Massive thank you to everyone who came through the site.


So now? I start into the paperwork (involving getting all my finances together) and signing on the dotted line. I guess he was impressed! (Or maybe he's just after a SWIG® Flask?)

Pitching SWIG® to retail!


So you're wondering what I actually do all day beside Swigging?

Well a good example was my trip to House of Fraser in London, to pitch for theGreat Retail Revival competition.

Here's my pitch video that got me down to the last 10 (from 200!).

Yes.. that is my bedroom. Click it to watch.

Honorary Swigger ('s).

Andy C. (Society Member #10048was one of the last to take advantage of the Bespoke SWIG Hip Flask offering that has been recently placed on hiatus. He tweeted this a couple of days ago.

It makes me jealous every time I see it... I think it's one of the most beautiful limited edition pouches we've made.

Bearded Colonel Razor Blades

 

Just a final note... something (nearly) free.

I sit beside these guys in my studio workspace at the Tileyard (N79AH).

They ship german-engineered razor blades direct to your door. Thought I'd throw this offer open to my newsletter..

They've offered me and my friends a free set of blades for a month... Just use the code 'swigshave'  at www.beardedcolonel.co.uk.

(Ofcourse, I've made sure it's sent to your door for free)

I'm a small business so word of mouth is very important to keeping things going! Also if you have any ideas about the brand or how things are going, drop me an email at david@swigflasks.com
