Since we 1  took     over AB OutdoorLife last year, we have made a 2  couple               of changes to the product range. The four- man tent is still the best-seller and we are planning to launch

3               a new range of tents in spring. We did some market research at the end of last year and 4  found                  out that our customers were not satisfied with our range

of outdoor clothing for walkers and hikers, so we have brought out a new range of lightweight yet

5  durable clothing, made of a new material which dries very quickly. At the beginning of the year there was a slight drop in sales, but we are now 6  making                    good profit.
