KITEBUILDER NEWS ~ AUGUST 2009
Hello kitebuilders, I hope you are having a good summer. Kite Studio had a great first half of 2009 -
thank you for your continued support.
I have a few things to bring to your attention…
CLOSED FOR VACATION
It’s been a few years since I took a personal week off, so I think its
time. I am closing the store August
1-9,2009 but you can still order online.
I will work on shipping orders as soon as I return. While I am sitting in the sun with my toes
in the sand, you can take advantage of a special deal on some new fabric. Read on…
POLYESTER SALE
For a limited
time, we will be offering a 0.6 ounce polyester closeout special. Limited availability in the following
colors:
Hot Pink
Yellow
Light Blue
Neon Green
Hot Orange
Green
Width is 44 inches
Grade is First Quality
Ripstop grid pattern is rectangular, approximately
.375" x .750"
Sale Price is $4.25/yard
In addition, a limited number sample packs will be
available for $75.00. Each sampler will contain a total of 20 yards made up of
assorted colors. At the start,
approximately three yards of six colors PLUS I will throw in two yards of a
seventh bonus color that I only have about 100 yards of. As colors sell out, I
will adjust the yardage of the remaining stock to total 20 yards. This promotion was announced on our forum
earlier this week and already, over half of the 50 samplers with the bonus
color are gone. If you want seven
colors, act now!
This is a great fabric for kitebuilding... compared to
nylon, polyester has less stretch, less absorption, and higher UV resistance.
Poly used to be sold at a price much higher than nylon... but not today, not at
kitebuilder. Add some to your collection before it is gone. I expect some
colors to sell out sooner than others.

PHONE ME… FOR FREE!
In my continuing effort to reduce costs without
sacrificing service, I decided to discontinue our toll free 800 phone line...
BUT you can still contact me via telephone for free!
Check out the new service on our main web page.
I added a new google voice service. Just click on the icon, enter your info,
and we will be connected through your telephone for free*.
You will also notice a new phone number that is very easy
to remember....
360-RIPSTOP
You can call that number direct and I will answer during
normal business hours: m-f, 9-5 est.
Area code 360 is in Washington State, so I am giving some of my west
coast customers an additional saving.
Our east coast number, 610-395-3560 will continue and of
course, you can always email me at steve@kitebuilder.com. Answering email in a timely fashion is a
constant struggle for me but I am trying to improve. If your questions are long and/or urgent, please use the
phone. Try out the new free service.
The 800 number will probably be disconnected sometime mid
august. Please adjust your contact list.
* The “Google Voice” free service is only available within
the US. If you're using a cell phone, your normal use of cell plan minutes
applies.

FACEBOOK
Are you a member of facebook? There
is a growing community of kiters… One
of the greatest benefits to working at Kite Studio and kitebuilder.com, is that
I consider most all my customers friends.
I don’t think there are many professions where the same can be
said. Anyway, I am on facebook… just
look for my name: “Steve Ferrel”. Join
the crowd!
That’s all I have for now, I’m heading to the beach. My cooler is packed for a personal beer summit, a couple novels
are in the bag, I’ve got my toothbrush…. and I’m even taking a few kites. Have a great week…. I’m outa here.
Go Build a Kite!
