November 2023

Trailblazing Success and Upcoming Attractions

As the year winds down, we're reflecting on the remarkable journey of Outmore Living. November has been a pivotal month, filled with milestones and exciting glimpses into the future of outdoor comfort. Join us as we unwrap the latest happenings and give thanks for the paths traversed and those yet to be explored.

Hey everyone - Kevin here bringing you this month's newsletter straight from the 'the hot seat.'
 
Before any company updates, I wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a great holiday with family and friends and that, like me, you found some time to slow down and think about all the people and things that you were grateful for in 2023. At the end of the newsletter, I plan to share some of the people that we at Outmore have been most thankful for in 2023.
 
But before that, here are the biggest moments from November.
  1. Closing a very successful Kickstarter
  2. Launching our D2C website with 0% APR
  3. Introducing Outmore Merchandise

THE KICKSTARTER PHENOMENON: A Community Triumph

In October, we launched our presale on Kickstarter, and one month later, we raised $74,711! We couldn't be more excited by these results and are so grateful for everyone who backed our campaign.  

If you are one of our backers - THANK YOU! Your support means so much to us, and we cannot wait to deliver the Solerno Collection to you in early 2024. As far as next steps go, we will be reaching out to you directly in the coming weeks with more details.

O% APR: Starting Next Week

Do you prefer to buy-now and pay-later? Well, starting next week, we will be offering 0% APR over 24-months on all items on OutmoreLiving.com. We have been partnering with Affirm over the past couple of weeks and are really excited to see this offer come to life. We'll make sure to reach out as soon as it is live on the site.

COMING SOON: New Merchandise

We recognize that the Solerno Collection may be too expensive for a lot of our community. So, we wanted to find ways that we could maintain our brand's ethos of the best in quality and comfort while also creating products at a more approachable price point.  
 
Starting in December, Outmore Living merchandise will be available for purchase on our site. We will have t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and more. See here for a sneak peak on some of the merch. Send us an email or DM and let us know what you think.

FOUNDER PERSPECTIVES: Feeling Thankful

It's not just a great idea that makes a company successful. Building a company is hard. It's the team, the long nights and early mornings, the inability to give up, and the community that supports you along the way.  
 
It's easy when you are moving so fast putting out fire after fire to not stop and be thankful for everyone and everything along the way. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to close this newsletter giving thanks. In particular, for:
  • Alex Duncan - Cheers to being the greatest co-founder I could have ever imagined for Outmore Living.
  • Miranda Barrigas - Thank you for truly ELEVATING the brand, day in and day out.
  • Our families (especially my wife Ally and Alex's wife Sophie) for being our rocks through the ups and downs.
  • Our investors - for believing in our vision and offering guidance along the way.
  • The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business for bringing our team together and supporting us every step of the way.
  • Our community of outdoor enthusiasts - for sharing, purchasing, and supporting Outmore Living

Until next time,
Kevin Long, CEO and Co-Founder
