I know there is a risk with this post in that it might attract a few natters (on both sides) but here goes… We sold out of the Collingwood Beanie Kid collectors item in a few days – way ahead of any other team. We;’re chasing more stock as we don’t want to turn away the collectors now that we are known for our range of Beanie kids at Knox City.
So, for me this is not so much about AFL allegiances. No, it’s about serving collectors and making sure that we provide them with the products and services they need to satisfy their desire to collect. The repeat business is excellent – not only from the AFl range but the broader beanie Kid range we carry.
With the AFL collection, while there is the occasional AFL team nutter they’re usually fun … and that’s terrific in retail.
Footnote: seen my earlier post about Beanie Kids.
You sound surprised Mark…………
RAISE YOU ONE, SEE YOU ONE. WE SOLD OUT OF OUR LOCAL TEAM’S BEAR IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. ORDERED A HUNDRED MORE PIECES AND HAVE A VERY LONG PUTAWAY LIST ALREADY. SKANSEN REP IS GOING NUTS.
This does not suprise me at all because i have always felt that AFL was a girls game and there for having little teddys would be fitting .Maybe you should go into AFL branded dresses as well, i am sure they would be a hit . 🙂
Collingwood = Souff Sydney NRL.
LOL@$ouff$
