Why Are Australian Retail Buyers Unwilling To Give Innovative Local Designers a Fair Go?
Jane Tepper knew she had developed a
winning product when she was invited to exhibit at the Hong Kong International
Home Textiles and Furnishing Fair and her Coshee® bed linen won an
International award for ‘Best New Homewares Product.’
“We started selling our bed linen
firstly on our own website and we quickly found other online stores that wanted
to stock our range. In the first two
years I exhibited at all the major trade shows in both Australia and New
Zealand and knocked on many doors to present our Coshee® bed linen.” said Jane.
You would have thought with all the
ground work done that approaching major
retailers in Australia would be easy but Jane soon found they were not
interested in anything new, innovative or Australian. “I started
to wonder if buyers had become complacent and out of touch with consumer needs
and are too set in their ways.”
“When was the last time you saw a new product
like this that could shake the market around?” Jane asks. There are many
innovative Australian designed products available online but the majority are
never seen here in our retail stores.”
“It seems to me that the retail
buyers’ at many stores have their own code.
Many will ask you to provide a sample and then don’t return phone calls,
or answer enquiries so you can’t get feedback and in some cases we have had
stores that do want our range but buyers who don’t.”
“Isn't it amazing that Coshee® bed
linen has won awards and is getting traction in the US and other
countries? It has already attracted
imitators in breach of our patent – Yes this is a patented product deemed
innovative enough to have already been granted patent rights yet despite all of
this, no acceptance by retail buyers in the country of origin.” Jane says.
“I will continue to pursue buyers
here in Australia as well as overseas, Jane says, as I know there are many
other Australian business’s like mine that have amazing products and ideas that
work and I think the Australian consumer would love to know more about our
home grown assets.”
Jane’s fast growing accolades as a
reputable authority on manufacturing has seen her invited to speak on a panel
next month in Melbourne at the Australian International Sourcing Fair Nov 13-15th
where she will be discussing manufacturing requirements for Australian based
business and designers with other International speakers. Her Coshee® bed linen
by EcoSleep Australia are sold in Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia
and the USA.
Coshee® bed sets are a quilt cover
with a clip on top sheet. No more messy tangled sheets or mounds of washing and
best of all no more bed making. Just smooth the cover and the bed will always
look neat and stylish. Perfect for all the family.
