Inside the current issue
June/July 2012
MIFGS in Melbourne
Now in its 17th year, the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show (MIFGS), still ranks in the Top 10 garden shows around the world. In fact, Melbourne almost certainly has the best venue in the world with the Carlton Gardens and Royal Exhibition Buildings providing the ideal spaces.
You might be your own worst enemy for profit!
So, you had this great idea that you would start up your own business, be your own boss, work your own hours and make some decent money.
What happened?
The return of Shrubs in Landscapes
Trends in recent years have seen a sharp increase in the use of strap leaf plants, grasses, cacti and succulents in gardens at the expense of shrubs.
The art of using shrubs in the modern landscape has been all but forgotten. Rarely does a garden have a ‘shrubbery’ area or even some shrubs planted interspersed with other plants unless the garden is large or located in the country.

Web Feature
WEB FEATURE: Building Sales is about Building Relationships
Over the last few months I have been working with clients in eleven countries. All of them have had economic difficulties. Some retailers are looking at the state of the economy and complaining about lost sales whilst others are looking at the same economy and seeing business opportunities.
Some of these retailers are in the same retail sector and it is interesting to see how attitude can make a difference, but apart from attitude there are other important points that create the point of difference.

Resist at All Costs
John Stanley
Take a walk down Retail Main Street and you would think that the major retailers had discovered the magical formulae to stay in business; it seems every other retailer is having a sale. The theory being if you have a sale you will attract more customers who will buy more products and all will be well.
