![]() Happy EOFY!Hi , OK, so "happy EOFY" isn't really a thing ... but being halfway through 2019 is certainly worthy of celebration. So let's get to the good stuff first: we're celebrating EOFY by offering 15% off all refills (regular ink and whiteboard ink) until the end of June. There's no special discount code to use—our prices are already marked down; just head to the website and load up your shopping cart. Regular pricing resumes on July 1st, so you only have a couple of weeks. With that out the way, here's the latest of what's going on in our world. Free shipping on orders over $50If you've ordered from us recently, you'll notice we've dropped our minimum order for free shipping from $100 to $50 (Australia only—sorry NZ!). So if you only need a few items, you will now automatically receive free shipping without having to ask yourself "Hmm, what else should I add to my cart to hit that free shipping total?" You're welcome. New: starter kits & moreWe've put together three starter kits for folks looking to break into the sketchnoting, graphic recording, or visual facilitation arena. These are the bundles we wish we'd had access to when starting out—carefully chosen markers, sketchbooks, paper cutters, and other high quality creative tools sourced from Europe and the USA. They contain everything you need to take your visual game to the next level. And there are some other fun new products in stock: New office spaceWe moved office a couple of months ago. We're finally feeling properly settled in (yay, we have a doorbell! And a kettle!). Our new address is:
The office is larger than our previous premises, which means we have room to store all of our products—rather than keeping everything in a storage unit. Hooray! ![]() It's not a retail space, so we don't encourage random visits ... but we do love when customers make an appointment to come check out a particular product, browse the book library, or just say hi! If you have your eye on something and want to check it out in person, or ask questions about using any of our products, shoot us an email and we'll gladly make a time for you to drop in. ![]() The office is located about the Ragtime Tavern, a wonderful bar that features a baby grand piano in the centre of the room. It's wonderfully eclectic, and we're delighted to be sharing the building with such an iconic space. VizConf 2019VizConf, the annual gathering of visual thinkers and doers, is back for 2019! Co-organised with our friends at Visual Friends, VizConf will see two inspiring keynote presenters (lettering guru Heather Martinez, and local comic artist Sarah Firth) as well as a series of fascinating open space sessions. ![]() There will also be two full days of pre-conference workshops. Tickets are available now, and Super Early Bird pricing ends at the end of June, so get in quick! Once again, we're involved behind the scenes, and Graphic Gear will be sponsoring the event—including setting up a pop-up shop on the day selling markers, refills, books, and more. Buy tickets to VizConf 2019 from vizconf.com.au. That's all for this issue. Thanks for your interest and support, and happy creating! Matt and the Graphic Gear team |
