fujilab Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 With suppliers dropping off the planet and others who simply don't follow up we should be championing the ones that are 'onto it' and helping us. Anyone had positive experiences recently they would like to share? It would be nice to have some good news for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philspectrum Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Have to say that Photomart have been the most responsive to my quieries, - always get back to me, even if it is with a negative. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photographis Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Agree with you there Phil, a thumbs up for Photomart. Tetenal I have allways found helpfull, particularly on technical issues (if you can get hold of the right person/department), and MagicTouch are spot on on the technical side as well as rapid response from the sales team. It will be interesting to see what Swains make of Tudor/SPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philspectrum Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Spot on Re MAGIC TOUCH - favourite supplier ! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snpysnps Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yes, Photomart are our favourites too for supplies. Always freindly and nothing has been too much trouble for them to deal with. Another good one has been First Retail who have helped us with promotions and business ideas. Very responsive and in tune with our market - they would get our tick.

kioskguy Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 We agree snpysnps. We have had some tough months over winter and First Retail have been good. Last pack we got from them included a couple of tenners so we could take the staff out for coffees. Also a fan of Tudor although that looks like it is all over. I don't think Swains will be able to keep that same culture. Sad to see them go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noritsuvet Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Photomart - nice people and prices are always competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philspectrum Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Who or what are First retail ? - have you got a url ? thanks P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snpysnps Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 the url is www.firstretail.co.nz and I think you then need to click on the marketing programme section. Would like to say that Jeff Scowan has been another company we like to deal with. It's good to support the independents. They keep the rest of the industry honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilh Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Over the past 30 years, we have never had a wholesaler that could come near Swains. Recently we have been dealing with Kenro and they are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fujilab Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I agree Kenro are very good. Has anyone else dealt with Jeff Scowans? I keep seeing their ads on the pack page of Pixel but don't know how they would be as a regular supplier. Prices seem very sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
