What a remarkable year it's been for us at Taylored! Amidst a whirlwind of projects and creative endeavors, we had the pleasure of participating in three Campervan Shows and a team visit to the NEC in Birmingham.
Our passion for showcasing our work was evident at the Southwest Motorhome & Campervan Show in Somerset, where we proudly unveiled the Drifter Eco 2.0 during the summer. The positive feedback was overwhelming, and we even sold the first Drifter Eco 2.0 at the event, alongside our original Drifter Eco Campervan. We are committed to transitioning into fully eco-friendly conversions, and the valuable feedback received from engaging with the public at these shows fuels our enthusiasm and guides our continuous improvement efforts.
The unveiling of our latest Alpine Campervan at the Motorhome & Campervan Show at Westpoint Arena marked another exciting milestone in 2023.
This year saw over 100 incredible Campervans created by our amazing customers, with the Drifter Conversion leading as our most popular choice. And that's not counting the numerous smaller projects we undertook. The momentum in big builds was impressive, with four completed conversions and one currently in progress on the new TGE MAN. We can't wait to reveal this significant build, featuring a hot water system and an Atek Roof Pop-top – our most ambitious project to date.
In our commitment to continuous improvement, we launched two new Conversions: the Drifter Eco 2.0 and Drifter XL. The Drifter Eco 2.0 boasts larger storage areas and more usable cubby holes, while the Drifter XL offers the same great layout on a larger scale, complete with standing head height, a wider bed, and ample storage space.
Our dedication to sourcing better and more diverse products led us to introduce items such as the Pop-top memory foam mattress, the energy-efficient Clayton Power LPSII designed for campervans, a discreet and waterproof 240v hook-up, and the Savvyvan Lite 7” Digital Display Screen for convenient power distribution control.
To enhance the customer experience, we launched the 3D Campervan Builder, providing a visual tool for creating the perfect Campervan. This 3D tool is being improved as we speak to allow many more options configurations and pricing all in one place.
September brought the launch of the Customer Portal, a collaborative effort with Barr Media. This platform ensures a seamless online journey for customers, from the initial stages to beyond the final product. Our aim is to provide clear, user-friendly access to all information related to their new Campervan, emphasising our commitment to exceptional post-sales support.
Lastly, with our commitment to become as Eco Conscious as we can be and to lower our carbon footprint and support local charities we have managed to plant 37 trees with Trees For Good Causes. That means that we have created 37 Eco Conversions this year!
As we take a well-deserved break for Christmas, we reflect with gratitude on the trust our customers have placed in us to bring their dream Campervans to life. Here's to an exciting 2024 and the adventures it holds for us at Taylored!
