Cassie is the reigning champ after taking out the 2011 comp, but I will be hot on her heels after tasting success in the RWC. Or will there be a new champion?
Is internet Wi-Fi surcharges in Australian hotels just a rip off, or is it also an opportunity for local retailers?
Personally I see it as an annoyance for myself, but an opportunity also in the same breath.
I tend to spend at least 70 nights a year in motels and hotels, mostly within Australia, but also overseas during holidays with my wife. The Australian stays are made up of regional trips to visit all our great retailers and also to attend industry conferences, trade shows and awards nights. Some areas are metro visits, but some are also very remote locations.
What 80% of these Australian motel and hotels have in common is NO free access to Wi-Fi internet. Whereas 80% of their counter parts around the world, actually give you free Wi-Fi internet access, where you can skype your loved ones, post photos of your trip to the likes of facebook or myspace, research where you are going to go the next day and even download a movie on your tablet for the upcoming flight, train or bus trip.
I have been to hotels where they have charged as much as $24 a day for internet access in Australia.
With this in mind, it makes sense to be stocking products like our Optus Mobile Broadband that starts at $39 RRP with up to 1GB of data and 30days to use this within. Or even our Optus Wi-Fi mini modem for $89 RRP, that includes up to 6GB of data and can connect up to 5 devices at once. This is plenty of data for doing all those things I spoke of before and with 30 days expiry, is the idea product to sell to tourists.
If you are in a really touristy area, it makes sense to really highlight this type of product for the impulse sale and what better way than with a Optus Mobile Broadband dump bin.
If you look at major retailers and stand alone phone stores you will find one thing in common that they all do well too capture additional sales in Pre-Paid Telco. They all use handset and/or $2 SIM dump bins.
Within the trade we call these the Silent Salesman, due to their ability to highlight products that are already on display.
The latest dump bin in our range is the Optus and Boost Mobile branded handset dump bin. This comes pre-printed with generic images for easy assembly and display longevity.
Along with the dump bin, we supply dummy boxes of your current range which we price, then put at the front of your store to highlight the handsets you have in range.
Most Pre-Paid Telco sales are impulse purchases. Spare of the moment purchases that are influenced by seeing a great deal or filling the need to replace a lost or damaged product. With handsets now starting at $29 RRP, these impulse purchases are becoming more and more frequent.
We supply all this at no cost to you, as we both benefit from the increase in sales. CLICK HEREto get your hands on one.
