We have engaged the services of Kym Maestracci at Active Retail since 2008 and we have not looked back. Kym has extensive knowledge of our business and all the challenges that come with a remote island location. We work in an ever-changing environment, and partnering with Active Retail means we are able to keep up with trends & developments in regard to our retail merchandise lines in a way which would not be achievable without them. Active Retail brings expertise in sourcing the best product for our demographic and their buying power means we achieve better gross profit then ever before. Their guidance regarding the stores presentation and product positioning means we have the product presented in the right way at the right time all year round. Active Retail brings specialized tourism retail expertise & consistency to our retail department which is invaluable to our properties. I would highly recommend Active Retail to any business that wish to achieve the upmost returns in their retail division.

We would like to take this opportunity to recommend Active Retail Solutions. Active Retail under the guidance of Director Kym Maestracci have been an instrumental partner within our retail division at Ayers Rock Resort Group since 2011.During this time Kym has been responsible for sourcing unique designs and relevant products for our 6 resort outlets including our airport store, including coordinating collaborations with local indigenous artists. Kym’s buying power and supplier relationships have ensured we achieve our desired results.

Kym’s attention to detail is excellent, her knowledge in product placement and merchandising has seen our outlets excel, and this is very evident in her consultation and advice for the design of our new Australiana concept store, sourcing key lines that compliment our theme.

Outsourcing the role of retail buyer has given our business consistency, buying power & real expertise which has delivered great retail growth year on year. We would not hesitate recommending Kym and her team to any company or individual looking for that retail edge.

We have worked with Active retail in our store at Mossman Gorge Centre for many years. In fact Active Retail assisted in the opening set up of our retail space back in 2012 & has been an invaluable colleague to our centre ever since.With over 370 000 visitors a year it is crucial we maintain a compelling range of merchandise, the best pricing and a professional coordinated approach across our many Australian and international suppliers.

Kym has also been instrumental in our extremely successful Artist related merchandise working with local Indigenous Artists to create exceptional contemporary retail items for our store.

Kym & Active Retail are true professionals and have been instrumental to our Retail success.

I have engaged Active Retail at two separate property locations to assist in the development of our retail strategy. Kym and her team’s extensive knowledge has always yielded results. The approach in which Active Retail has taken to understand the objectives of the retail areas and matched corresponding products has been the key to our success. 

Active retail have streamlined our purchasing and introduced us to products we wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to. Their extensive product development expertise has always hits the objectives of the retail area. Active Retail worked with us to develop our own exclusive product range leading to increased sales along with differentiating our retail area.

I highly recommend Active Retail to any retail business/division to assist with the development and management of retail merchandise. Active Retail facilitate the sourcing & buying of suitable product while ensuring that the key steps from receiving through to sales are optimised. In my experience I have seen a direct correlation between Active Retails work and the bottom line results in our retail areas.
