Hi Brian & Family
I have purchased a number of items over the years & have been very impressed with the efficiency & service of your family business.
It is devastating to hear the struggles your having & will check what I need to purchase & place an order or buy something as a gift for someone else.
Good luck in securing the business for the future as it is so important for all small businesses, it’s what keeps this amazing country going. 🙏

I love your store, I am someone who has purchased several times a year and I hope I can continue to into the future. I have the beautiful garden hand tools gift pack, the power planter, apron and potato planter which are all fantastic!! However my favourites are my dream hose (game changer!! So easy to use and pack up) the secateurs which are a good solid build and the silver herb scissors which are above and beyond any scissors I have ever used in my life! Please support these guys, I wish you posted this earlier in the week as I’ve spent my ‘extra’ on camping gear ☹️. I hope next pay is not too late for me to help out 🙏🏻 wishing you all the best.

As Jayne wisely says in previous comment above..

”Please cut your Google and Facebook expenses until you’re back on your feet. Word of mouth is a very powerful sales tool. Be very careful of discounting too much as this cuts your bottom line also. Keep your heads up and we will try and help.”

For me, I’ll be buying more planter bags and I’ll try your non kink hose.

Hi lovely Chapman family, I’m so sorry to hear that things have become so financially difficult for you. You’re doing an amazing job with your business & I really don’t want you to go under.
I haven’t bought anything from you since Christmas as I’m now renting & finding I have to watch my expenses. However, I believe in you & what you provide – & enjoy your educational videos & good humour – so I’ll be making a purchase in the next 24 hours.
All the very best, Maureen

So sorry to hear of your problems. It is a hard market these days but advertising through Google and Facebook seems extortionate. I don’t think any of your customers would want to be paying so much to these companies. Isn’t there another way of getting your products out there. You have a good customer base, so is it necessary to use expensive advertising to maintain sales.
Good luck with finding a solution.youve done such an awesome job. Excellent customer service means alot.

So sad to see the BIG USA tech companies make gazillion$ from Google and Facebook adverts. This is crippling Aussie businesses.
The 4corners investigation of Bunnings shows that we are going the same way as USA nurturing GIANT Monopolies instead of encouraging small innovative companies who wish to develop quality products and give honest old-fashioned service. We are so much poorer because of this.
I will try to help you by personally doing some advertising for you!
Hang in there if you can. Best of luck!

Have you thought about a promotional email to send to those on your data base with a request that it be shared with their contacts.
Best wishes in this tough season.
