QR Scan, get one free tool, for every x15 coloured products you order
IMAGINE WALKING into a store brimming with vibrant choices— rows of colourful products catching your eye. Without even thinking, you’re drawn to the display, exploring options that spark curiosity. This is the power of colour in retail: it grabs attention, creates excitement, and—most importantly—drives sales.
Retail studies have shown that offering a broader colour range doesn’t just sell the colours; it amplifies the appeal of your core
products. Apple’s iPhone is a classic example. By introducing new colours every year, they keep customers engaged, boosting sales across their range—even of their staple models.
Leatherman’s new colour tools tap into this same principle. By stocking these vibrant options, you’re not only catering to customers looking for variety but also increasing foot traffic and driving sales of core products like the classic stainless steel models.
It’s a simple strategy backed by psychology: colour builds connections and boosts perceived value. Try it in your stores, you'll be surprised by the result.
Now is the time to brighten up your store’s offering. Stocking Leatherman colours isn’t just adding inventory—it’s inviting customers into an experience that blends choice, quality, and the thrill of discovery. But most of all, you'll sell more tools! Scan the above QR Code and secure today.

Customer and Consumer Success Manager
Irene Guo Assistant Accountant
What do you do at Zen?
I manage our customer service, warranty and order processing teams at Zen, so there is a lot of customer engagement and plenty to do! We organise B2B orders across our international regions, answer any questions our customers and consumers have via email and phone, and we ensure orders are filled and supplied as a priority.
What's your favourite thing about Zen?
“The Zen way!” I see evidence of this unspoken rule in many of the things people do every day. To me Zen is about coming together to solve issues and situations, and as a business we never steer away from challenges, changes and ongoing improvement. Those things inspire me in my daily work.
What is something you're passionate about?
At this stage in my life it is raising to
beautiful girls Emilia (9 years) and Liv (3 years). Working with a company that inspires me in my daily work, and who help to support a healthy work/ life balance has been a huge help to me as a parent, and something I appreciate every day.
What is a Zen product you really like/want that you've had your eyes on for a while now?
Right now I really like the Fjällräven Kånken Weekender, and I would love it in the frost green colour! The multiple ways it can be carried, the versatility and of course the iconic arctic fox logo are all reasons for me liking this product presently.
What is your ideal adventure?
Walking at least part of the Camino de Santiago in Spain has been on my bucket list for a long time. I have several close friends in Europe who have done this, and it sounds like a meaningful, committed and beautiful thing to undertake.
What is your role?
I am an Assistant Accountant, responsible for managing website accounts, retail store accounts, and accounts for clients in New Zealand and Singapore. My duties include receiving payments from clients, processing payments to vendors, reconciling relevant general accounts monthly, and handling refunds for the warranty team.
What does your team do, and how does it fit into the wider Zen business?
Our team plays a crucial role in Zen’s operations. The true success of the business is reflected in our financial reports. Our goal is to improve efficiency and accuracy in delivering financial information and advice to the marketing and customer service teams. Contributing to the wider Zen business means acting proactively and providing professional financial insights to support smooth operations.
What is something you’re passionate about?
I’m passionate about reading and music.
What is a Zen product you really like or have had your eyes on for a while?
The Fjällräven Kånken backpack is my favorite. I have it in different colors— they’re all stylish, beautiful, and comfortable. I also love gifting them to my family and friends, and they all enjoy them as much as I do.
What is your ideal adventure?
Hiking to an unfamiliar place and ideally camping for several days, fully enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.
What does a perfect day look like to you?
Cooking my favorite food, pairing it with red wine, and enjoying it with my best friends in my beautiful backyard.
