FUNTOYS & STICKERS

Kevin Low 0478588977

We have been associated with this business for many years and many members have taken advantage of these display units.

But now there is a new owner & his details are above. Kevin still has the same products to sell and uses the same business model.

Every member should have either a Toy Stand or a Sticker Stand if not both.

If you would like to talk to Kevin about carrying his stands call him and he will drop in when he is in your area. He covers the whole state.

  • All stock is on CONSIGNMENT (This means YOU DON’T PAY until the 2nd visit between 6 to 8 weeks later)
  • Unsold products are credited and placed in another store
  • Products come in PRE PRICED between $1.00 and $8.00 normally (Most sales come from the $4 to $5 range)
  • All toys are discounted by 40% to give you your COST
  • This equates to a 40% Gross Profit or a 67% Mark Up

If you have these lines in your store and they are not at the FRONT of your shop or right near your COUNTER or next to your TILL them something is dramatically WRONG.

SLIDERS

Sliders are the new must have food in town and are starting to appear in many bars and cafes and customers can’t get enough. Considered ‘Gourmet Foods’ they are relatively simple and easy to create. Sliders come in a huge variety and it is literally up to the creator to just have a go.

Presentation alone will sell these from your bay marie or possibly the pie warmers.

You would prepare these in the morning and replace them in the bay marie as they sold. In fact you could have 3 or 4 different sliders on show at any time and sell them in combinations for a ‘Gourmet Lunchtime Treat’. Ie 2 Sliders (1 Pork Slider + 1 Chicken Slider for $5.00)

What you would need:

·       2kg Slow Cooked Meat (Lamb Shoulder, Chicken Breasts, Beef Cheeks, Pork Shoulder????)

·       2 medium Onions chopped

·       440g can of Tomatoes

·       4 cloves Garlic chopped

·       1 teaspoon Italian Spices

·       Salt & Pepper to taste

Brown meat and then place all ingredients in a slow cooker for 8 hours on low.

After 8 hours shred the meat and remove contents to a casserole dish

This should make approximately 30 Sliders. Half the meat to 1kg and you should make 15 Sliders

Addition Foods to add or not

  • Mushrooms
  • Capsicums
  • Fish
  • Eggs
  • Prosciutto or Bacon
  • Spring Onions chopped
  • Beetroot
  • Carrot shredded
  • Mayonnaise
  • Chili
  •  
  • 15 Slider Buns Toasted
  • 3 Tomatoes Sliced
  • 8 Cheese Slices (matured cheese cut in half)

SEE THE FLIER IN THE NEWSLETTER AND USE THE PROMO CODE WHEN ORDERING

Barista coffee is everywhere and while many coffee shops say it’s the coffee beans that make a good coffee it’s the ability of the BARISTA (coffee maker) that makes a great and memorable coffee.

If you have enjoyed a great coffee you remember where you got it NOT THE BEANS.

Having said that you do still need to use quality coffee beans.

Here is you opportunity to try a full-bodied coffee with subtle fruity overtones and a smooth lasting aftertaste. 

‘Romanza’ Originale is ideal for those who prefer a slightly stronger taste and is ideal for milk coffee. (Flat Whites, Cappuccino, Lattes etc.)

Romanza Coffee beans are a high quality coffee bean recongnised and recommended by many of the cafés, restaurants and bars in Adelaide.

At the moment this ONE TIME OFFER can be order along with your normal Coca Cola , see the flyer in your newsletter for details 

(If there are any problems call either Drew or Derek or Richard)
