There is a shop in south east Queensland that devotes half their floor space to terrazzo pots. Reason being is that most weeks more than half of their sales are terrazzo pots. This shop hasn't allocated equal space for the other 4 or 5 finishes that don't sell as well - they focus mainly on the best sellers.
Last Tuesday it poured rain at this shop all day. No suprise there was only 3 paying customers as the shop is 99% outdoors. Yes 3! Sounds like a bad day huh! Well each customer spent over $500 in terrazzo! All of a sudden not such a bad day!
Reason why this shop makes these kind of sales week in week out? Firstly there is no competition for terrazzo, the big box hardwares don't have it. Second, people who buy these pots normally want a few and normally want big, often times they are commercial jobs. Third, this shop carries quantities so the customer can buy instantly 5, 6 or 10 of one type of pot.
So if you don't want to keep doing battle with the big hardwares hoping one day that they go bust, think seriously about doing serious business with terrazzo.
Just yesterday I had a business ring me from my website asking for a retailer in Sydney that could supply 18 sets of 2 terrazzo pots. I have nobody that serious about terrazzo there.
