The future of Aussie Gardener is at stake

Hey, Hang on as long as possible. Dump fb at least; hopefully that will keep you going.
Your products are WORTH IT!! I’m away from home currently, but will be back in 2 days. I’ll check out our gear and see where we can help. You may know that tough times are nearly upon us, but there will come an upsurge in the need for home grown food. I mean a GREAT UPSURGE in required domestic food gardens, and the need for bees and hives. Pls concentrate on ALL the tools, knowledge video’s and seeds support for home use. Just imagine for a few moments all the ‘stuff’ a home gardener new to the need for home growing will require, and see if there is a shortage of supply or will be in the near future, and find a way to fill that need. We don’t need Rolls Royce tools, just those that will do the job for say 5-8 years. The world will have changed so much by then, and we may not be around then.
Do you need a Short Term Plan that will get you through the next year, giving you time to assess the effects of leaving fb? Don’t give up. Graham

Best Wishes

Hi Brian & team,
Thanks for your heartfelt message and I really hope everyone supports you. I’ve just put in an order and look forward to supporting you more. After watching a very disturbing Four Corners episode about Bunnings last week, it’s really turned me off the big two even more. Seeing so many hard-working, small businesses close is so sad, so I hope you get the support you deserve. Best of luck. Tracey

Yeah, brave chat,and very heart felt, been there in the past myself, dropped a lot of advertising costs help personal referrals helped, for another 15 months, then the big guys were the winners. Us small guys come from a different way of doing business. Good luck with your future and I will continue to support your business and buy as much of your product as my needs allow,

Aussie Gardener is the best. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I don’t buy a lot because I’m not a very good gardener!. What i would like to buy are flowering seeds to brighten up my garden. Seeds that grow without a lot of effort. If you can help me that would be great and a good fertiliser. Happy to help. Thanks. Erika

Your plea is a genuine one and I hope everyone that can gets behind you so that we don’t lose this valuable business. Thanks for the honesty and I truly hope that the situation can be turned around to being profitable again for the love of gardening and small business.

Sorry to hear of your struggles. The current cost of living increases are hurting everyone, and small businesses seem to be feeling a lot of pain. Have bought several items from you over the past few years and have been very happy with all of them just made an order for consumable items, ready for spring. Thank you so much for all your help in the past. And yes, dump facebook.

Hi guys, sorry to hear this is happening. I’ve bought a bit off you in the past and love the quality. I use my gardening apron and tools all the time. I’m actually disgusted with Fbook and Doogle (yes misspelled intentionally) with their disgusting business practices. Could I suggest that you still make videos (they are great and so informative) but put a link to your website in an email to your customer base. Could this reduce your advertising costs through Fbook and Google?
Ps. I am a self-funded retiree so can’t buy as much as I want. I’ll have a look to see what I really do need right now as opposed to what I would like to have :)
Best wishes guys and I hope it all works out for the better.
