Q&A with
ColCam
WHEN AND HOW DID COLCAM START AS A BUSINESS? ColCam as it is known today, began in 2008. From it’s very small and humble beginnings, ColCam started its AGHA journey with a very conservative 3x3m stand in the great hall and year-on-year expanded and grew into what it is today. We cannot wait to show you all our largest ever stand in the Foyer this year.
WHAT ARE YOUR BEST SELLERS AND MOST POPULAR WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS? We always smile when this question is asked, because yearon-year, the top 3 ranges are our Magpies, our Rope Puppies and our spectacular Wooden Ducks. Whilst our homewares are absolutely beautiful, it is important to note that lifestyle & décor are trend based, so rather than pin point an item from each range, I can confidently say our top 3 categories are Storage & Planters, Brass and Lighting. WHY SHOULD RETAILERS CHOOSE TO STOCK PRODUCTS FROM COLCAM? Because of the partnerships we have with our manufacturers overseas, we can
negotiate incredibly fair prices on our handcrafted ranges
and import them into Australia at an affordable rate. With the exponential increases we have all faced in the last 2 to 3 years, ColCam has continued to offer some of the most competitive pricing in the wholesale market and our supply has been constant – yes there has been a delay or two worldwide, but we have always done our very best to ensure our customers receive their stock in as timely a manner as possible. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION FROM? From many places – it is never just the one source. Often, we look to the runways for new seasonal colour, silhouettes and motifs that may begin appearing across a multitude of designers, architecture, new buildings, and the style and mood they evoke. 20 | MELBOURNE GIFT FAIR 2022
