Looking for peoples views as we are ordering some new products, we sell loads of enamel camping style mugs and our supplier is saying we should be ordering ceramic camping mugs.
What's peoples thoughts please?
I'm not sure i get a ceramic camping mug but there again it's not my taste its what the customers want and their customers ultimately.
Thanks in advance
Steve

I have had a few requests from our customers looking various styles of these mugs. I guess you need to be getting various styles in the Enamel camping mugs to see which works best. The blue rim metal ones seem to be a big hitter at the moment in opinion.

There seems to be a shift to ceramic camping mugs. We debated this when Xpres switched to them. Personally I won't be buying ceramic, because they are supposed to be unbreakable. They look good, but a difficult sell to real campers. If someone would sell a sublimation Falcon enamel mug, I'd be very pleased.

The Falcon mugs are the ticket you can get them in blue & silver rims. The blue rim ones are more thought after. A closer supplier for those would be the way forward :wink:

Gary, I take it Falcon is the brand name, we can get blue band black rims.

We've always used melamine mugs when camping.

I have a shop on a camp site and have never been asked for Camping Mugs. https://www.grav-insel.com/erholungszentrum-gravinsel/
Only sold the normal white ones or the ones with a coloured handle and inside.

Yeah, true campers are a dying breed now Earl. It's probably more profitable doing glitter or foil mugs these days, for all the Glampers! :)

Yeah, I have the original manufacturer bookmarked on my other computer, but the authentic mugs look great.

Motorhome owners on gravel pitches with electric hookup are not true campers!
