How To Buy
Australian-Made Products At Asia-Competitive Prices
If you’re keen to grow a business selling physical products, then you know there is more and more demand from consumers for Australian Made.
Sourcing Australian-made products (rather than importing), means:
More support for local jobs and the Australian economy, since all profits stay in Australia
You get better quality, ethically produced goods, as Australian manufacturing standards are generally higher
You have less hassle dealing with a local manufacturer, without language and cultural barriers
You eliminate the delays (and skyrocketing cost) in international shipping.
But can you source Australian-made products at Asia-competitive prices?
Everyone just assumes that buying Australian-made, while it may mean higher quality, will probably mean much higher prices.
But is that really the case?
The good news is, you CAN source Australian-made in a way that’s cost-competitive with imports…without ripping off local suppliers…if you know how.
Who Am I And Why Should You Listen To Me?
Hi, I’m Steve Eagle. My expertise is in sourcing products.
In the last 23 years I’ve sourced over a 1.8 billion dollars’ worth of products over more than 3,800 projects, all over the world.
I’m passionate about helping Australian business owners to source more products locally, in a way that is competitive with cheap foreign imports
Here are some of my brands…
As well as helping others to source Australian-made products, Steve also owns (or has an interest in) several businesses that all source locally. Here are some of these.
