Nest Inspirations to expand its Flip Notes range
[Tue 13/12/2011 10:33:45]
 After strong sales for just two Flip Notes designs Nest Inspirations will expand its offering in 2012.
The family owned company brought the product to Australian shores after being introduced to the range by a friend in the UK.
“It looked like a really good point of sale stand with a great product that was worthy of consideration,” says director Andrew Curnow.
Flip Notes was first introduced to retailers at the August Gift Fair in Melbourne and was an instant hit.
“A company we work with in UK distributes Flip Notes and had sold it very well. They recommended we consider taking on the distribution after letting them know we were looking for something else along this line.
“We subsequently learned the company use to distribute products through another Australian wholesaler but they had never imported the best-selling part of the range, Flip Notes, so we thought we should get some samples in and put them on display for the August trade fair.
“We sold out of the first shipment during the fair and the repeat orders from there have been 10 times that volume, so it’s pleasing to see the stock selling so well through our customers’ stores.”
So far only the Crock and Natural Elements designs of the product, which is a compact notebook with pen, have been imported. New styles will hit the Australian market at the February Gift Fair.
Nest Inspirations will also expand the range of products from Flip Notes supplier Well Spring with cosmetic mirrors and pill boxes.
“The company is very innovative and we are proud to represent their wonderful products in Australia and many new ones throughout the year,” he adds.
