93% of Aussie's prefer to buy Australian made products

Buy Australian made

In the last few years we have noticed a significant  increase in sales of our Australian Made alpaca bedding collections from both our "bricks and mortar" retailers and through our multiple on line sales channels.

I recently read in the Smart Business Connection, an article about Australian Made products -

"Small and family businesses are benefiting from a significant boost in consumer sentitment with new research revealing 93% of Aussie's prefer to buy products made in Australia" 

Hey, that's so true, if it's made in Australia and it is a quality product, why wouldn't you buy it? Support every Australian small business, especially now.

And another quote -

"Roy Morgan research released by the Australian Made Campaign, estimates if every household spent an extra $10 per week on Australian made products, an additional $5 billion would be generated in our economy over the year, creating 11,000 new jobs"

Wow, $10 per week per household - that's peanuts, but the economic benefit and job boost is huge. What would happen with an extra $50? Buy Aussie!
