If you’re wondering about customer interest in the Great War collection and our limited edition bears, check out the amazing retail results achieved by Teddy Bears on Main in Victoria. Feedback from Karen Davie, Teddy Bears on Main, Victoria:
“I initially ordered six pieces of Trooper Jones from the Great War collection. Before I got home I posted a photo of the actual bear on my Facebook page and the next day I increased my order to 12 just by the response I received and the orders that came in overnight. By the end of the week I had increased my order to 24 bears.
They are boxed beautifully and all have their limited edition certificate safely secured inside the box. My customers’ feedback and response has been outstanding and even non-bear collectors are purchasing this item.
The quality is second to none and I have had no complaints on his quality or price. $90 is not a lot of money for a limited edition teddy bear. I can’t wait for Trooper Bert Jones to appear in November and know my customers are anxiously waiting on his arrival too. Needless to say my order on him has also increased from the initial 6 ordered. I am proud to put my business name next to this product and am happy to promote this great range of bears and their other products.”
Fellow Victorians, Melbourne couple Bev & Al of Bethgreglyn Coins & Collectables, are also enjoying success with the Great War collection. Only they retail on the road as they follow the sun.
The couple, based out of Melbourne, specialise in visiting rural and outback centres where people do not normally have the opportunity to access military goods and or coins, and with the release of the Australia in the Great War collection, they are enjoying a new level of interest.
“Have you ever seen the light on someone’s face when they see Private Murray WWl Bear, and hear the squeals of delight when it becomes their possession… Or to hear people talk about the War Diaries, and they share their recollections with us about their relatives, ANZACS, landing in Gallipoli etc.”
