The NRL branded Beanie Kids are selling in Victoria and we’re shocked – when we should not be of course!
We have customers purchasing these as gifts for friends interstate and we have some purchasing them as they do follow NRL. Either way, we’re happy to have the range and to be in a position to use them as a traffic generator.
We have the AFL and NRL stands next to each other on the lease line facing into the shopping mall, next to our broader plush display.
The experience is a reminder: you / not your / our customer … risks can pay off … having a unique product generates excellent word of mouth and additional traffic.
Hi Mark, could you email the contact details of Beanie supplier to me? Thanks.

ha ha ha ha ha , yessssss !!
I am half way between Melb and Sydney, and we started with Skansen AFL BB’s last June, and this year were allowed to take half a stand AFL/NRL. Rep said last Oct, you know our best selling season is Xmas, and I took it with a grain of salt.
Well, I have sold one BBear a day since Jan 1st. VERY happy with that given my customers, who all come in to my store about 5 days a week and so see everything over and over !! Several other outlets in town have BB’s, but no others have the NRL’s, so the word will spread.
It can be an investment to try, but I’m glad I did, we are up and running and let the games of winter begin !
Jagg – Skansen. They’re a terrific supplier.
Follow Yor Team in Twenty Thirteen !
If you ever sell a Greater Western Sydney bear be sure to take a picture and send it to Kevin Sheedy. I believe their still waiting for confirmation that they have a genuine fan, as opposed to friends and family of players and officials.
LOL.
Had to check and I have actually sold one GWS in the last month !!
We are succeeding so far with NRL and eagerly waiting for SOO to come in now!
