I’ve just been informed that one of the biggest Australia wide Christmas retailers is being liquidated.
I have used them as a supplier and everytime I have been there they seem so busy (going back over a number of years). You think in business that bigger is better, but maybe that’s not always the case. It is really hard because as an independent retailer you try and compete against these big businesses, and they are bringing in direct from China by the container load, and there is no way we can match their prices. But it appears things weren’t as rosy as they seemed.
Anyway, food for thought and I guess it reminds us that we should concentrate on what we are doing, what is working for us, and not be intimidated by other companies size and apparent success.
