2026 Is a Builder’s Year | A Message from Draw It Out® Founder Jon Conklin

2026 Is a Builder’s Year

There are years you show up everywhere. And there are years you go quiet on purpose.

2026 is the second kind.

You will not see us on the trade show floor next year. You will not see splashy ads in glossy magazines. You will not see us chasing attention for the sake of optics.

What you will see is work.

This is a year we step back from noise and step deeper into the build.

Why We Are Choosing Focus Over Flash

The past few years have been about proving who we are.

That meant showing up. Shaking hands. Standing in booths. Putting our name next to other names.

Now the proof is in the product.

2026 is about doing fewer things publicly so we can do the right things properly.

Real innovation does not happen on a show floor. It happens in formulation rooms, supply calls, late nights, and hard decisions most people never see.

That is where we will be.

What We Are Committing To Instead

You will see a deeper dedication to product development.

New formulas. Smarter formats. Better user experience. More thoughtful problem solving for real riders and real animals.

You will also see us confront logistical challenges head on.

We are not pretending supply chains are perfect. We are not ignoring delays or constraints. We are fixing systems so the products you rely on are more consistent, more available, and more resilient long term.

That work is not glamorous. It is essential.

A Brand Built From the Inside Out

We have never been interested in being the loudest brand in the room.

We care about being the most trusted one.

That trust is earned quietly. By showing restraint when others chase hype. By choosing long term clarity over short term exposure. By investing in what lasts.

If you ride with us, use our products, or recommend them to someone you care about, know this:

We are building for you. Not for applause.

Looking Ahead

2026 is a foundation year.

The kind that does not look impressive on the outside while it is happening. The kind you feel years later when everything works better because of it.

Thank you for staying with us. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for understanding that sometimes the strongest move is to step back and build deeper.

We will see you on the other side of the work.
