2. Editorial
As we approach the end of another
year, it is timely to look back at the
objectives that you set for your
business at the beginning of 2013
and assess whether those objectives
have been met.
Did you take advantage of any of the
business development programs that were
provided by the City of Kingston and the
State and Federal governments? These
programs are delivered locally to make it
as easy as possible for you to participate.
The Economic Development team is
currently putting together a
comprehensive program of business
education and networking events for 2014
and would welcome any suggestions that
you may have.
There will be a particular focus on the use
of technology to improve business
efficiency. Business operators in every
industry face a sometimes bewildering
array of new digital opportunities.
Kingston will be working with VECCI to
deliver the Federal Government’s Digital
Enterprise Program which will include
information sessions, workshops and
individual coaching on all things digital.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the
roll-out of the national broadband
network, there are many things that
businesses can do now with current and
emerging technologies. Make 2014 the
year that you embrace the future – which
is really the present!
I hope you get a chance to take a break
over Christmas and the New Year and
spend some quality time with family and
friends. We all need to take time to
recharge the personal batteries.
Suzanne Ferguson
Manager, Economic Development,
City of Kingston
“Entrepreneurs are contrarian value creators.
They see economic value where others see heaps
of nothing. And they see business opportunities
where others see only dead ends.”

What is the ‘New Economy’?
The term ‘New Economy' was first used
to describe high-growth industries on
the cutting edge of technology.
It’s now become shorthand for a vision of the
future based on universal values and shaped
by fast-converging social and economic
trends. Many of these trends are driven by
emerging technologies and demographic
changes. This has created massive complexity
and a volatile operating environment for
leaders and significant new opportunities for
organisations able to respond. These include:
• Activist shareholders demanding tangible
evidence of ‘shared value'
• Agile competitors creating new business
models to capitalize on a growing desire
among consumers for collaborative
consumption rather than outright
ownership
• Development of a number of growth-metric
alternatives - the Happy Planet Index,
Bhutan's Happiness Index, the Ethical
Markets Quality-of-Life Index - that better
acknowledge and reflect levels of
community and environmental wellbeing
• The emergence of technologies and platforms
that enable rapid crowd-based fundraising,
micro-loans and community-based currencies
that bypass banks altogether
• Growing broad-based support for
investments that produce social and
environmental benefits as well as financial
returns, necessitating a rethink of how we
define ‘value'
• The explosion of MOOCs (massive open
online courses) via Khan University, Udemy
and strategic alliances that threaten the
revenue streams of traditional universities
• Increasing pressure on insurers - and their
clients - add risk as significant weather events
wreak havoc on communities and cost
shareholders dearly (the World Bank released
a report late last year warning of ‘a cascade
of cataclysmic changes' if the global
community fails to act on climate change.)
Such activities reflect two things: a refusal to
accept the status quo, and a desire for a more
human-centred, sustainable economic system.

POSITIVE AGEING CONSULTATION
Baby Boomers, mature consumers,
older adults, senior customers -whatever one names them - this
market is large and growing!
We know that older people represent a
significant segment of our economy and that
many have significant disposable income.
Kingston Council is embarking on a
consultation process to inform the
development of their second positive
ageing plan and is interested in the views
of local business people to identify how
businesses can be assisted to tap into this
market. A short survey for businesses has
been prepared and can be completed online. Visit the Services and Support page on
the Kingston website at:
www.kingston.vic.gov.au
The Council’s approach is based on the
World Health Organisation’s “Global AgeFriendly Cities: A Guide”. The purpose of
the Guide is to engage cities around the
world to become more ‘age-friendly‘ so as
to tap into the potential that older people
present for communities.
Th e g u i d e r e c o g n i s e s t h a t :
• the proportion of older people in our
communities is growing and will
continue to grow (the City of Kingston
has a higher than Victorian and
Australian average number of people
over the age of 70)
• older people have much to contribute
to their communities
• older people are involved with the full
gamut of life activities as leaders, parents,
customers, employees, students and more
• facilitating positive ageing has impacts
and benefits beyond the older
population for the broader community.
Consultation will focus on eight interrelated
factors which have been identified by the
World Health Organisation as impacting
on the experience of ageing, including
employment.
If you would like to be involved in the
consultation, or would like more
information, you can visit the Council’s
website: www.kingston.vic.gov.au or contact

When do I have to give a refund?
Under the Australian Consumer
Law (ACL), when a product or
service fails to meet a consumer
guarantee, your obligation to
provide a type of remedy will
depend on whether the failure
is major or minor.
A Ma j o r F ai l u r e with a product or
service is when:
•
a reasonable consumer would not
have bought the product or acquired
the service if they had known about
the problem
the product is significantly different
from the description, sample or
demonstration model shown to the
consumer
the product or service supplied is
substantially unfit for its normal
purpose and cannot be made fit
within a reasonable time
the product is unsafe or the service
supplied has created an unsafe
situation.
•
•
•
In either circumstance, the consumer can
seek compensation for any other
reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
M i n o r f a i lu re s
A minor failure occurs when a problem
with a product can be fixed easily and in a
reasonable time and does not have the
characteristics of a major failure.
In the case of a minor failure, you can
choose between providing a repair or
offering the consumer a refund or an
identical replacement (or one of similar
value if it is reasonably available).
If you have identified a minor fault, but
have not been able to fix it within a
reasonable time, the consumer can choose
to get the job done elsewhere and charge
you reasonable repair costs.
Alternatively, if the fault cannot be
repaired within a reasonable time, or at
all, the consumer can choose to reject the
product and demand a refund,
replacement, or the difference in value.
A re f u n d f o r ` ch a n g e o f m i n d ’ i s
up to y ou.
‘ No r e f u n d ’ s i g n s a re u n l a w f u l .
Be careful about what you say to
consumers about their refund rights.
This includes the wording of any signs,
advertisements or any other documents.
Signs that state ‘No refunds’, ‘No refund
on sale items’ and ‘Exchange or credit
notes only’ are unlawful because they
imply that it is not possible for consumers
to get a refund under any circumstance –
even when there is a major problem with
a product.

and what they paid for, or

any unconsumed services.

Retailers migrate online to keep up with trends
Research indicates that bricksand-mortar retailers have been
slow to adopt multichannel
strategies, overlooking the
opportunities available in new
online strategies.
Many bricks-and-mortar stores have
lagged behind online retailers. This is
gradually changing, however, as
traditional retailers migrate online to
complement their existing sales.
Despite this, the outlook for domestic
retailers is optimistic, as continued
investment in online platforms is
expected to contribute to stronger
consumer demand. As our retailers
strengthen their market presence, it is
anticipated that competition from
international online retailers will soften,
while the growing use of smartphones
and tablets for mobile shopping will
fuel demand.
To ensure you keep up with this changing
consumer behaviour, consider further
training in your online presence and the
opportunities e-commerce can bring.
In 2014 Kingston Council is partnering
with VECCI, the Victorian Employers
Chamber of Commerce and Industry to
deliver free online training to Kingston
businesses. More details on this training
is included in this Bulletin, see Page 6.
*SOURCE: IBISWorld Pty Ltd
Heavy investment into new e-commerce
platforms has assisted traditional
operators to evolve into successful ‘bricks
and clicks’ retailers, winning back market
share from online-only retailers that
previously dominated the online market.
IBISWorld research indicates these
multichannel retailers now account for
42.8% of online women’s clothing sales
in Australia and are quickly gaining
ground on the online only retailers,
which represent 57.2% of sales. *
Australian retailers still lag significantly
behind our international counterparts
that have migrated online. Global
retailers generally offer competitive
prices, wider product ranges and
advanced online platforms.
THE CHRISTMAS CUSTOMER
Christmas is a critical trading
period for most retail
businesses with many retailers
making the bulk of their
profits during these crucial
few weeks.
As you are setting up your store for
Christmas, keep in mind that your
Christmas customer is probably
different from your day-to-day
customer. Your day-to-day customer
is likely to be someone who knows,
understands, enjoys, and uses the
merchandise you sell. Your Christmas
customer isn't usually the end-user,
they are a gift-giver!
Christmas customers are shopping with
a specific problem to solve. Provide the
solution to their problem and you have
made a sale. Display and sign your
merchandise to make the experience
super easy for your Christmas customer
to find the gift they are looking for.
Great customer service becomes even
more important during the Christmas
period. Your customer may be a little
more stressed than usual and giving
fantastic service is amongst the best
ways to relieve this stress and make the
customer want to return to your store.
Research indicates that store
environment is an important element
in retailing given that around 70% of
purchases are an impulse or unplanned
purchase. Think about the way your
shop is laid out with Christmas
merchandise. Which products are
customers most likely to visit you for?
Consider putting these further from
the door, while putting ‘impulse’ items
near the till and enticing products by
the door.
