Hi! How have you been?

Saturday, September 12, 2020

Hi <<First Name>>! How have you been?

It's kinda a weird question for 2020, isn't it? How do you even answer? Okay, what if I change the question just a little and say, Hey my friend, how has your day been today so far?

Over here in Tobermory, Ontario the sun is shining, the air is cool and crisp and the brief tourist season we had is winding down. It feels like an end of something and the start of something else - Seasons are like that, aren't they?

Maybe you've noticed that I haven't been in touch like I said I would? I'd been meaning to connect with you ever since Spring, but I just couldn't get my words together to tell you about everything. In April, my brain was not functioning very well as the stress of COVID19 began to unfold. And then suddenly it was July and life started moving again. Now, here we are in September, but it's not too late, is it? No, of course not. It's just taken this long to experience, process and make sense of it all. There's a lot to tell you and I think I'll just start at the beginning. But not here in this email - over here on my blog. Take a peek if you're interested in what's really been going on behind the scenes of my Truli life (the knocked down part). Otherwise, scroll down to check-out some very cool things I've been working on (after I got up again)!

Below you will find details and links with further details on:
😃 A Crowdfunding Campaign Pre-order your size in any style at a hefty discount - Yeeeeaaaaaah
👖Sisterhood of the Travelling Wetsuit - Current Truli Wetsuit owners, we need you!
👯‍♀️BOGO Sale - Need I say more?
🙋‍♀️Work with Me! - I need a co-worker! Do you think it is possible that someone somewhere out there would be just as interested as me to talk about wetsuits all day?
❤️Our Truli Values - I'm kinda loving this new section. I've broken it down into the Truli values that lead and guide the business: Empowerment, Community, and Advocacy with links and content to some of my favourites.

So, you'll definitely be hearing from me again very soon with the launch of the Crowdfunding Campaign. I hope you'll contribute and share with everyone you know 🙏

As always, I love to hear your input and feedback - so please don't hesitate to reply back and keep in touch!

Talk to you soon.

Yours Truli,

CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN!
Pre-Order Any Size in Any Style!

You may have noticed that your favourite style is not available in your size - and that's just not right!

I will be launching a crowdfunding campaign to restock inventory in exactly the sizes you want in any of the 4 styles you need. You will be given the opportunity to pre-order your Truli Wetsuit at a hefty discount. Learn More...

USED TRULI WETSUITS FOR SALE!
Sisterhood of the Travelling Wetsuit - Buy/Sell/Trade

I'm pretty excited about this mini side project that has always been at the back of my mind. Ladies, if you have a Truli sitting in your closet that you are no longer using, or it doesn't really fit anymore, I urge you to head straight over to Sisterhood of the Travelling Wetsuit Buy/Sell/Trade Facebook Group and post it for sale. This will help SO many women in so many ways, not to mention our planet! Learn More...

BOGO SALE!
Original Inventory Clear-Out

I am clearing out the Truli-Mi and Truli-Capri inventories and offering a 2 for 1 deal!! These are limited to any of the Truli-Mi or Truli-Capri styles/colours in the following sizes Freedom, Leader, Truth, Legend, Fearless (as long as there is availability).

NOTE: Your order is a final sale - no returns or exchanges.

Determine your size before ordering by sending a message to
Sizing@TruliWetsuits.com with your Height, Weight, Bra Size, and General Dress/Clothing Size along with your bust, waist, and hip measurements and what water sports you do.

Once you know your size and availability, you can take advantage of the sale by purchasing 1 wetsuit at full price and in the notes make your request for the second free wetsuit indicating style and size (make sure to purchase the more expensive of the 2 styles (Truli-Capri) if you want one Capri and one Mi).

WORK WITH ME!
Administration & Sales

I am looking for someone to help with emails for fittings and processing of sales on a part-time/contract basis to start (work from wifi). Hoping to find someone who is interested in getting to know the business and who would like to grow with the company!

Empowerment

Body Positivity at Truli Wetsuits - I have so much to say about the Body Positive movement, Fatphobia, Diet Culture, Objectification and disordered eating. But until I have the chance to write the blog that I've been wanting to write, here's a page with content from experts in the field who Truli is aligned with.

BIPOC Features & Learning at Truli Wetsuits - Featuring BIPOC women in water sports and their stories to help us understand why Black women in water sports are a minority and what ways we can help make the path past the beach, off the dock and into the water easier.

"Simone Manuel wanted to quit swimming because she “didn’t have anyone that looked like’ her in the sport but encouragement from her parents and coaches as well as her love of the swimming kept her going."

Community

Designated Fitting Site - Outer Reef Scuba. If you're in Indiana, you need to go to this dive shop and make it yours! The best thing about them (well, besides them having Truli Wetsuits in their shop for in-person fittings and sales!) is their Divers4Divers club. Go there, spend money, hang-out, become friends for life with them, say good-bye to other dive clubs and shops that say tacky things about women. Also, I heard they have a fun trip coming up in January that we should all go on. Who's in??

Stream2Sea - Don't forget, I can add-on anything from their Stream2Sea shop to your orders! Seriously, if you want to support a small business that is making a BIG difference AND receive top quality products, just stop searching now and go get their sunscreen and hair conditioner and body lotion and and and.... For my Canadian customers, there was a glitch in getting these into Canada, but we're back up and working on it again. If you need some Stream2Sea in your life (and you do), we will do our best to make it happen!

Girls that Scuba - 10% OFF Truli Wetsuits with a Girls that Scuba membership card!! Purchase their membership once and use it Foreverrrrrrr!

Advocacy

Sharks4Kids - If you know me, you know that these guys are my absolute favourites. Their mission to educate the next generation of shark conservationists, while also doing what they can to encourage more girls to be inspired into science is everything I want for our future. And for every Truli Wetsuit bought, 1% of the sale goes to their efforts in shark education. ALSO their founder, Jillian, is the amazing author of both, "Norman the Nurse Shark" and her newest book, "Shark Super Powers", which would make a perfect gift for the shark lover closest to you right now.
