Why You Must Attend This Event
There’s never been a more important time to champion Aussie-made products.
Australia has some of the most innovative manufacturers in the world.
But we tend to get a bad rap – everyone assumes that buying Australian-made, while it may mean higher quality, will probably mean much higher prices.
That’s because Australian labour rates are “first world”, making it hard to compete when workers are earning just a few dollars an hour in other countries.
But is that really the case?
I’m here to tell you that you CAN source Australian-made in a way that’s cost-competitive with imports. Without ripping off local suppliers.
You CAN source locally in a way that’s a win-win for you and your supplier.
Who Am I And Why Should You Listen To Me?
Hi, I’m Steve Eagle. My expertise is in sourcing products.
In the last 22 years I’ve sourced over a billion dollars’ worth of products over more than 3,000 projects, all over the world.
My product sourcing system helps you maximise your profits. I show you how to buy the right product, with the right quality, the best price, in the ideal quantity, and with the best payment terms.
Using my system you know you’re getting the best deal – a superior product at a substantially lower price than your competitors.
Buy Locally, Compete Globally
Here are 11 reasons why it can be MORE profitable to source Australian-made than to import:
- You eliminate the cost of international shipping, which averages about 35% of the cost of any imported products
- You’re working in Australian dollars, so there’s no exchange rate risk, and no hedging required. Most imports are priced in US dollars, and we know how volatile that’s been lately
- Clever Australian manufacturers use automation instead of labour, so the impact of Australia’s more expensive labour rates is not as high as you’d expect
- By working closely with your Australian manufacturer, you can often find ways to reduce costs without reducing quality – and how much easier is it to have those discussions with another Aussie, in English, without the language and cultural barriers you have to deal with when you’re importing?
- It’s much quicker to go from concept to cash if you’re sourcing locally. You can get samples shipped to you overnight. Things that would take months if you’re importing, suddenly can happen in just days or weeks
- Most sellers still use “middlemen” – agents, distributors or wholesalers who take their cut – whether they are buying locally or importing. This can add as much as 100% to your costs. By sourcing directly from an Australian manufacturer, you not only get a better price on the product, but you can also negotiate on things like payment terms, MOQ or order quantities, or storage of inventory
- By working directly with an Australian manufacturer you may even be able to organise a drop-shipping arrangement, where you make the sales, and the factory ships directly to your customer…saving you inventory, storage and shipping costs
- You can work with your Australian manufacturer to design a unique product. So you can add features that are superior to others on the market (including imports), allowing you to charge a premium, and with clever marketing, get a bigger slice of the pie
- Right now the demand for Australian-made is higher than it’s ever been. There are calls to have supermarkets put in an Australian-only aisle. Visits to the official Australian-made website have more than doubled – up 130% in the last month. People are prepared to pay a premium for a product that is Australian made, Australian owned, Australian built, Australian grown, or developed with Australian ideas. All of this increases the profit margin on what you’re selling
- There are many government grants and other incentives available for local manufacturers and producers. And if you’re exporting Australian products there are also generous export grants available
- Governments and corporates are keen to be seen to be “doing the right thing” and buying Australian-made. Check out this recent example from one of my clients…
A client of mine in Australia was sourcing eco-friendly bamboo toilet paper from China to sell to McDonalds and the Australian Government.
I suggested to him that he should look for a local opportunity to source and promote Aussie-made.
He used my sourcing system to pivot to Australian-made…and found a supplier in Queensland who has price-matched his Chinese supplier.
Not only that, but we set him up to qualify for the Indigenous Business Australia Program, and now he can access massive government support.
He’s now gearing up to supply the Australian government and McDonalds with Australian-made, eco-friendly toilet paper from an Australian supplier at prices usually only seen in Asia!
His long term goal is to export Aussie-made, eco-friendly loo paper, at China-competitive prices. The icing on the cake is that he will also qualify for Australian export grants.
He already has his first order for 14,000 maxi rolls from a NSW local council.
I’ll be sharing my special sourcing system with you at this one-day online event.
If you’re currently selling physical products (or you’d like to) then you need to be at this event…besides, there’s every chance your competitors will be there!
