Toast The Locals connects online shoppers who want to buy unique Australian made eats, drinks and eco-living productswith the people who make them. They are participating  in the growing embracing of digital platforms, by offering visitors to their national marketplace the opportunity to delight their tastebuds and impress friends, like never before.

Toast the locals story begins in 2009, when the founder Angela Leske was working as a marketing strategist. She saw iconic and locally-made branded products being de-listed from retail supermarket shelves across Australia, because someone making decisions about shelf space, did not care about small Australian brands and their uniqueness. Using the digital means available Angela  has grown Toast The Locals into one of Australia’s leading ‘local produce’ e-commerce marketplaces. .

Angela said,  when interviewed by Metro Cities Media, “I decided to do something about local producers who are the fabric of the Australian economybeing removed from the shelves of Australia’s retail supermarket giants. As a person whose family history is firmly embedded in pioneering farming and agriculture in South Australia and the iconic Barossa Valley, I have  a special affinity with, and connection to rural and regional Australia and a deep understanding of the many challenges faced by farmers, producers of local foods, beverages and small business. It is great to read that digital commerce is growing so rapidly in Australia and to be a part of this growth”.

Australian Post in their recent 2023 Australian Online Shopping Report detail consumer buying behaviour and trends, providing  insights into the current and future state of e-commerce. The report uses information from a range of sources including delivery data from the Australia Post Group. In the report they detail the online share of the $63.8bn retail spend was up 18.1% on the previous 12-month period.

The Gallery System is a Sydney based art hanging specialist and confirmed in an exclusive interview with Eleven Media the strong and growing demand for picture hanging systems post the covid-19 lock down period.

Sydney , Australia – April 19, 2023 /Eleven Media/ — 

Picture hanging systems have become a very popular choice for individuals and businesses looking to display artwork and photographs. They typically consist of a rail, hanging wires, and hooks that are installed on a wall, providing a flexible and customizable way to hang and rearrange pictures with the major benefit of not damaging the wall surface.

Lisa Jackson, Principal of The Gallery System Australia said this when interviewed by Eleven Media: “Business and homeowners have been extremely active coming out of the covid-19 lock down period refreshing home entertaining areas and office spaces after what has seemed like years of hibernation. Picture hanging systems have been around for long time but recent magazine features during covid have shown growing interest in them as they can support a variety of weights and sizes of artwork. One of the primary benefits is they are suitable for multiple small frames or large and heavy pieces in the home or office.

Wall-mounted systems are attached directly to the wall and typically come in a variety of materials from aluminium to the traditional timber picture rails found in many Victorian style homes. Picture hanging systems are often used in commercial settings such as art galleries and museums, however, now with the introduction of slimline systems, they have also become a popular choice in the home.

Picture hanging systems offer a flexible and versatile way to display artwork and photographs, allowing for easy rearrangement and customization without causing damage to walls or ceilings. They are particularly popular with those wanting to regularly rotate the art or photographic works.

When choosing a picture hanging system, it’s important to consider the weight and size of the artwork, as well as the type of wall or ceiling it will be installed on. Additionally, some systems may require professional installation, while others can be easily installed by the user. 

About The Gallery System

The Gallery System began its journey back in 1989 and over the years they refined their original hanging system design which further evolved over time. They also developed an optional add-on lighting system comprising light wands that simply clip on and off where required, putting the light directly on the artwork. The Slimline Art Hanging System came later when unobtrusive hanging systems were being asked for. This system has been very popular both home and business installations, and now accounts for around half of all sales.

The distribution business is Sydney based (Gladesville), with the factory in Queensland, however distribute all over Australia. Australian owned and made, The Gallery System was the original picture hanging system and considered by a significant number of art gallery owners as still the best.

The Forex Trading Coach is an international training company and confirmed in an exclusive interview with Eleven Media that they have recently reached the milestone of teaching and helping traders for 14 years. This period has seen them coach over 3700 clients in 101 Countries.

Sydney – April 10, 2023 /Eleven Media/ — 

Their success has been the focus is on teaching successful trading techniques as well as practices that keep their students as safe as possible in their journey.

One of the things that many Forex traders struggle with is they lack the personal funds to trade a substantial account size, and therefore many feel that they cannot justify spending money on trading education as they won’t have much money left to fund their account. The issue is also the amount they’ll be making on that small account is insufficient.

Mr Andrew Mitchem said this when interviewed by Eleven Media, “The mistake of new traders not investing in themselves by enrolling in a proven trading course and strategy is that it is very short sighted. Many will spend countless hours on YouTube and on free forum sites, mostly wasting their time, chasing the next shiny object in the hope that the next system will be the holy grail of all trading strategies and find out the hard way it isn’t.”

Prop firms provide a solution to the issue of lack of funds and there are many good prop firms available to be used. This means that the good trader now has the potential to make a substantial income by trading the funds provided by the prop firms. 

“At The Forex Trading Coach, we have not only a proven trading strategy but our strategy also works on non-Forex markets such as the commodities, cryptos, indices and metals. We also encourage a very low risk approach per trade, ensuring low drawdowns, and our trading approach ensures that when you have a profitable trade, that trade makes 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 or even a 5:1 reward:risk” said Andrew Mitchem

Eleven Media’s market research found overwhelming support for The Forex Trading Coach’s advice to new or struggling traders to invest in themselves and in a quality, 5-star rated training, and proven trading strategy to ensure they have long term success as a trader.

Australian owned I-Fresh confirmed in an exclusive interview with Eleven Media the launch of their Australian made concentrated cleaning Podz.

The world is looking for better ways to look after mother earth and I-Fresh has been at the cutting edge of creating a cleaning product that focuses on biodegradable chemicals. Biodegradable is the term given to something that is capable of being broken down by bacteria or other living organisms, thereby reducing pollution. I-Fresh prioritise use of biodegradable chemicals to minimise their customers environmental footprint.

Mr Bobby Ahmadi, Founder of I-Fresh said this when interviewed by Eleven Media, “We are proud to be launching what can only be described as a revolutionary cleaning product, but one that is totally sustainable beyond just the packaging. Our Podz give business and homeowners the opportunity to minimise waste output, while increasing efficiencies in the workplace and home.”

The Pods reduce the need for bulky plastic containers and large bulk storage for storing your bulky chemical drums. The Podz can be stored in small spaces and the simple action of adding water on location saves staff members the heavy lifting and moving of large containers currently being used.

Eleven media’s independent study of I-Fresh’s new Podz found that not only do they save business and homeowners time, money and heavy lifting, it also removes the use of hazardous cleaning materials and reduces waste heading to landfills. Reduced waste is achieved by Podz saving the use of up to 100 Spray bottles.

“I-Fresh has a total focus on Sustainable Materials. This extends beyond the contents of the packaging to the actual packaging itself. Wherever possible, we utilise recyclable materials for our packaging to minimise our environmental impact. Our Podz give customers the opportunity to minimise waste output while increasing efficiencies in the workplace at the same time,” said Bobby Ahmadi

As part of I-Fresh’s commitment to minimising their environmental footprint, they power all their operations with clean energy provided by renewable sources. Their solar panels provide approximately 50 kw/hr of clean green energy. By reducing the heat required for the processing of most of their chemical products, they substantially minimise their carbon footprint. Also being Australian made with local storage location, means no wait times and local shipping.

The Pods are not only a neutral PH, which makes them safer to handle and safer to use on your surfaces, they are also phosphate free. Phosphate salts are often used in detergents and cleaning products however, their release into the environment can significantly alter natural ecosystems. The introduction of phosphates into aqueous environments acts as a fertilizer for algae, resulting in over-growth, commonly referred to as algae bloom. This reduces the water quality which can lead to decreased biodiversity and toxicity of the water source.

Morgan Business Sales, one of the biggest business brokerage firms in Australia, in an exclusive interview with Eleven Media confirmed that despite the impact of rising interest rates increasing at record levels it is yet to impact the SMB acquisition market.

Morgan Business Sales are Australia’s leading Specialist Business Brokers. For the past 25 years, they have successfully sold hundreds of large and small businesses. The sharp

Dru Morgan, the Director of Morgan Business Sales said this when interviewed by Eleven media, “The strong buyer interest we are experiencing we believe has a lot to do with increased savings purchasers have accumulated during the pandemic period and the increase in popularity in more creative financing options like vendor finance.”

Eleven Media’s research showed that one of the biggest hurdles in business acquisitions is financing. Historically it has been unusual for an individual or a company to have the level of funds required to buy a quality operation. Like any market where there is this shortfall, they then turn to banks to make up the difference. However, when interest rates rise like they have been, it reduces borrowing capacity. Data shows that when this has happened in the past, it has been clear to see buyer enquiries taper off with the hikes. But something is different this time as demand is still increasing.

Dru Morgan said, “People and companies who bunkered down during the pandemic have capital ready to invest. No financing required, so, no impact from rising interest rates. There are now deals being done using vendor finance. This is common in the US market but has only recently started to increase in popularity in Australia. Buyers making a repayment agreement directly with the previous owner are protecting themselves from interest rate rise risk.” He remained bullish that the buyer enquiry levels would remain strong because of these two factors.

In the current economy, media confirm that the majority of investment avenues are performing poorly. But the potential returns from buying a quality business remain strong.

Specialising in the flourishing world of boutique grower-producer champagne, Sally Hillman, Founder and Principal of name sake company celebrates grower champaign and assists people discover the irresistible magic and sophistication of champagne.

Champagne was an important element of family celebrations while Sally Hillman was growing up, so her enthusiasm for this intriguing and diverse French wine was embedded from an early age. This early appreciation and love of champagne – especially grower champagne – became a life-long passion and led Sally on a mission to share the irresistible magic and sophistication of these artisanal champagnes with others. Combine this early indoctrination with the fact that Sally shares her birthday with Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers, whose feast day is taken very seriously in Champagne, and it is easy to see that champagne was always going to feature in Sally’s destiny.

Grower champagnes are France’s best-kept secret. They are produced by the grape growers themselves (also called grower-producers), from grapes that are their own. Houses are family-owned and operated, and vine holdings are modest, passed down from generation to generation. Their aim is to craft champagnes from sustainable farming practices and natural, low-intervention processes with minimal added sugar so that each cuvée evokes a strong sense of place (‘terroir’). 

This is in contrast to the Grandes Marques (the ‘Great Brands’ of Champagne), who produce champagnes blended from multiple vintages and as many as 50 plots, with higher levels of sugar, to create a consistent champagne style and flavour each year. Though production is limited and on a much smaller scale than the Grandes Marques, grower champagnes represent the best value when it comes to providing an authentic, enlightening and profoundly enjoyable champagne experience. 

The Sally Hillman company celebrates grower champagne with memorable and bespoke food and wine matching experiences for corporate clients and private guests, as well as offering special occasion and corporate gifting services all year round. 

In her online store, ‘Le Shop,’ Sally offers over 28+ Houses and 115+ cuvées available for purchase and direct shipping nationwide. Be tempted by a range of luxurious and specialised accessories, including handmade French glassware by Lehmann Glass, Sally Hillman’s signature Champagne cartography, and much more. 

Sally is not only the founder of her company, but also a renowned champagne educator and presenter. Her deep understanding of grower-producer champagne and her passion for it were recognized in 2018 when she was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Vin de Champagne Awards, organised by the Australian Bureau du Champagne. After a COVID-induced hiatus, Sally will be hosting an intimate multi-day tour of Champagne in 2023, offering unique insight into a handpicked selection of world-class Estates and prestigious grower-producers.

With Sally as your guide, you’ll learn why champagne is a wine for all seasons and become an advocate for celebrating champagne at every opportunity. Whether it’s through a bespoke wine and food matching experience, a corporate or special occasion gifting service, or simply browsing her online store for the perfect bottle, Sally Hillman is dedicated to making your champagne experience truly unforgettable.
