Hi Folks,
You know that the DisUnplugged, Dreams and The DIS have been huge proponents of HydroFlask and it's products. We've talked about it often enough that the owner of HydroFlask once called me to thank me for the bump in sales.
We have sold them at their mandated cost at the Welcome Center, we have awarded then as prizes and we have touted their charitable donations.
As we are running out, we tried to place a re-order and we were told no. I am told that we no longer fit their business model and they will not sell product to us. I have talked with supervisors and such and have been turned away. We were great business partners when they were new and struggling, but not so much anymore.
I will share the email we received and the gentleman's phone number and email address. You can let him know whether you think this is good business practice or not.
Hi ,
Thank you for your interest in doing business with Hydro Flask. As our company continues to grow, and our brand evolves, we face tough decisions on how to best present our brand in the marketplace.
In order to convey our brand clearly, we have limited our distribution channels to the key markets that most closely align with the Hydro Flask brand. As a result, we are no longer distributing our products through some channels. Dreams Unlimited Travel falls among those channels through which we will not be distributing.
Please note that this decision is not personal to your company or a reflection of your business. Rather, it is a brand decision based on what is best for Hydro Flask. We appreciate your interest and support.
Thank you,
Matt Jones
