IV / Vol 7 - November 2008 Sourcing Bali News

Dear Friends,

I am proud to bring you the latest news from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners. 

November and December are historically quieter months for Sourcing Bali, however we do however still have orders coming through and we thank you for your generous support over these very turbulent times.  Reports from clients in some markets are reporting an increase in sales (garden supplies) whilst others are reporting a slow down.  I think that every one is hoping for a turnaround in the coming year.

In the meantime, we thank you once again for your support.  Please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the crew if we can be of any assistance with orders - no minumum order values apply !

Warmest regards,
Desmond & Crew

Rupiah - fluctuations

The Indonesian rupiah has been fluctuating between Rp9.300 and Rp12.500 to the US$ over the last few weeks, making this a perfect time to place orders and reap the benefits of a high exchange rate.  Prices in Bali have not changed during the period of global crisis, thus giving buyers a 20-30% advantage over previous exchange rates.

This may soon change, so we do encourage you to place your new orders SOON !

Website clean up

We're currently in the process of a major clean up of our website, uploading many new products and deleting redundant items.

Please note however, our website represents a very very small % of the goods that we source for our customers.  Much of what we source is custom made, or simply too high in quantity to keep loaded to our site. 

If our site doesnt have what you are looking for.. please drop us a line and we will be happy to assist.

New Products

We are committed to bring you the latest news / designs from our suppliers, including what's new in materials.  Our special section on our website is dedicated to 'WHATS NEW' - these products are activly shown in this section for 1 month, after which they are filed under regular categories.  Be sure to visit this section of our website regularly to see the latest additions to the site.

Hospitality Essentials - Brochure

We have had an overwhelming response to the new brochure of Hospitality Essentials - a division of Sourcing Bali dedicated to the design and supply of hotel and spa accessories.

This division continues to expand and we look forward to working on more exciting projects throughout the world.  We recently completed a successful sales trip to Maldives, including visits to some of the most beautiful, amazing and picturesque resorts I have ever seen.  It is a truly incredible place... quite different to our beautiful Bali - but very interesting.

We have also confirmed projects in West Africa, Middle East, North and South America, Asia and Europe.  Newly appointed regional distributors will help to expand the brand globally.  We are excited at the growth and we look forward to sharing new over the coming months.

TOP FIVE - What's HOT

Commencing next week - we'll be sending weekly updates of WHAT'S HOT.  This brief update will be a quick view of our weekly best finds and will be available at BEST RATES for a very limited period of time ONLY.  Items will be selected each week by all of the Account Managers for their uniqueness, value and appeal.  Goods will be available for 1 week only - and sold on FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis.  After 1 week, they will be returned for sale, on subject to availability basis.

We often come across many unique items and whilst we try to get them onto the website, often we're too late and the items are sold, or we get swamped with other requests.  We hope that with these weekly updates, we can help you to stimulate sales and / or pick up some interesting buys..

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE DETAILS !!!! Coming Every Thursday !!

Christmas Wishes

We take this opportunity to wish all of our Christian friends and family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  With only 4 more weeks to go, plans are already underway, and decorations are starting to appear in stores around Bali.

Our offices will be closed on 25th December and 1st January only, with a skeleton crew working at both Sourcing Bali, and Rim Cargo in between times.  All Christian crew will be off between Christmas and New Year.

We look forward to a safer, more peaceful 2009.

Best regards,
Desmond & Crew
