A few years after taking over lamp shade business Custom Shades, homewares wholesaler OneWorld Collection is adding to its portfolio with a huge range of new lighting products as well as a collection of geometric shapes for the home.
With retailers still facing a difficult trading environment, managing director Greg Ollerhead says we all need to work harder to gain customer support and loyalty.
“Over the last six months our buyers from OneWorld have been to over eight countries sourcing new ranges,” he says. “We travel extensively across the globe looking for unusual suppliers and good price points to help retailers attract customers in difficult retail times.
“We have had positive growth for the last six months and we feel this should continue in the next six months. Online sales and international brands coming to Australia mean we need to be creative and keep the new products flowing.”
The new ranges fit nicely alongside OneWorld’s current ranges, adds Ollerhead, as the company’s core range is “very timeless and these new ranges add a modern feel to an already classic look”.
The new products were launched at the Sydney Reed Gift Fair and will be available in stores from March 2015.
