Things to Know Before You Go

OPEN/CLOSE TIMES: The Royal Adelaide Show is on from 3 – 11 September (2 full weekends) and opens at 9am every day. The Carnival attractions operate until 10pm daily with the exception of Sunday 11th September when they will close at 9.30pm.
FIREWORKS:See the RAA ‘Colours of the OUtback’ Fireworks each night to close out the Main Arena: 8pm every night and 9pm on Fridays & Saturdays
TICKETS: Pre-purchase tickets for a discount and also to avoid lining up on the day. Kids under 5 years are FREE, older children start from $15.50 and adults from $24.50 Click here for all ticket info. Ride Coupons can also be pre-purchased in advance at up to 20% regular prices
PURCHASE a few necessary or useful items in advance. If the weather is looking sketchy maybe buy a few ponchos to take. For safety, we recommend the awesome reusable Infobands that you can attach to your child’s wrist (or jeans etc) and hold your phone number for peace of mind if they go missing. The great thing about these is you need 2 hands to remove them (so they can’t pull them off!). The Info booths just inside the gates often offer a similar, free, single-use paper one too.
SHOWBAGS: The Showbag Listing goes up on the Show’s official website on August 18th. Give older kids a budget and get them to choose their Showbags in advance to reduce the stress and any conflict about overspending on the day. Perhaps even do show bags last to avoid carrying them around – just pick them up on your way out. Grab the show bag guide here: https://www.theshow.com.au/show-bags or to see some of our favourite show bags for this year scroll to the bottom of this post.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO SHOP LOCAL

07/06/2022

by Nic Jones

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO SHOP LOCAL

Australia is home to over 3.5 million small businesses who are the backbone of our economy. Whether it’s a butcher, greengrocer, ﬂorist, or local retailer our small businesses keep our country running.

SHOP LOCAL SA is all about supporting local South Australian businesses. Check out our blog to find out some ways you can help the small businesses in your community and discover the other benefits of shopping locally.

Shopping locally can impact so much more than our wallets. From simple reasons like convenience to ones that affect the environment and local economy, here are 10 of the most impactful reasons to shop local and how it benefits you and the world around you.
Why shop local?

1. It’s convenient

Convenience plays a huge part in our lives. After all, how easy is it to just ‘pop to the shop’ when it’s within walking distance? Today, many people opt to shop locally because of its proximity to home. But shopping on Shop Local SA is the perfect alternative for those who can’t leave their house or simply don’t want to. It provides the benefits of local shopping without the downsides of purchasing at large online retailers.

2. It’s better for the environment by helping reduce your carbon footprint

Most people are conscious about their environmental impact, whether trying to limit their single-use plastic, travelling more ethically or avoiding driving when they can. For this reason, shopping locally and more sustainably is perfectly suited for those being mindful of their environmental impact. However, not everyone has the luxury of visiting an actual store. Where this is the case, online shops, such as Shop Local SA, can be the ideal alternative.

3. You help support local businesses

This is one of the most important reasons to shop local. Independent businesses have been hit hard by the pandemic. As a result, many enterprises have struggled to keep afloat or find new ways to service customers. Buying from a local business, whether from a market stall, an actual shop or an online shop, is a great way to support them both financially and figuratively by showing you love what they do. This means they’ll be able to continue doing the great work that they do.

4. You invest in your community

Of course, shopping in a local business helps it financially, but it also supports the wider local economy and community. It’s an excellent opportunity to see new businesses continue to open and prosper within the neighbourhood. In turn, thriving independent businesses can help keep communities alive – this means there are sporting clubs for your kids to play in, local churches and community groups, vibrant main streets, thriving schools and excellent health care in communities.

Boston Football Club

boston-banne-left.jpg?1654669830660

Boston Sports Association is home to Boston Football, Netball & Basketball Clubs. The Boston Football Club has come a long way from those humble beginnings in 1972 and now we celebrate our golden anniversary in 2022. Local community can support the club by purchasing the merchandise through their online store.

5. It helps create demand for local jobs

In addition to investing in your community, you can also help improve employment rates within the area by using local shops. Local businesses often provide a large number of jobs to communities, and, in some cases, can even be someone’s first workplace to help kick-start their career. As the business grows, so too will the employment opportunities and local economy. Remember our small business sector is our country’s largest employer!

6. There are great deals to be found

Local shops rely on footfall from local people. Smaller independent shops are likely to have fewer people visiting and shopping with them than more prominent mainstream brands. This means they often have to create deals that help bring in customers. This is something that larger shops might not necessarily do, resulting in a win-win for both customers looking to make a purchase and the business itself.

7. You’re likely to find quality products

Local shops and businesses may not always be able to compete with larger chain stores and brands in terms of advertising. However, unlike larger stores that have to stock many products, local businesses are more likely to focus on the quality of the things they sell rather than the quantity. Shop Local SA has made it easy for you to find quality products you might not otherwise discover in pockets of our state you may not get a chance to visit – and they can be delivered directly to your door.

Alternative cosmetic brand that is made in South Australia

Brayfield Park Lavender

Brayfield Park began with our family of five on the old farm in Wellington, South Australia. With four generations and twenty-two hands to pitch in, everyone has a role to play – from Great Grandma sewing wheat bags right down to the smallest hands ‘helping’ to fill muslin bags with dried lavender.

Visit Brayfield Park Lavender online shop.

8. Items and food are more likely to be sustainably sourced

Unfortunately, high demand for resources and global warming have had a profound effect on the world. But if we want the same products to be around for future generations, we need to think more ethically in our day-to-day life. Regardless of whether you’re looking for something for kids, gifts for the home or food and drink items, sustainability goes a long way. Many local shops pride themselves on sourcing food and products using more responsible practices.

Some of the sustainable brands on Shop Local SA:

SUNSHINE BAROSSA AUSTRALIA

vendor-banners-right.updatedtemplate.jpg?1654668580623

The home of handcrafted bespoke leather handbags and jaw-dropping accessories, Sunshine Barossa is your stop when you want to say farewell to fast fashion and invest in something to treasure for years to come.

All the leather she uses was destined for landfill, so it's a nice way of keeping the beauty of that animal going. Vegan can also choose her range made from Portugal high-end cork.

Visit store now.

9. There’s more chance of finding the weird, wonderful and quirky

Big brands usually follow a pattern of selling mass-created, trending seasonal products, whereas local and independent shops stock items that are traditionally made more locally and not available anywhere else. Whether it’s the pattern, design or the flavours of the product, its uniqueness means there is very little chance you’ll find it elsewhere.

10. Reduced pollution from transportation

A major reason why shopping locally is better for the planet is quite simply that goods don’t have to travel anywhere near as far to reach you. Just consider the impact of supermarket veg that has come halfway around the world to land on your dinner plate, versus fresh produce that comes from a farm in your local area.

By buying locally, you can help to cut carbon emissions and air pollution - whether that’s by reduced food miles or indeed transportation of any other item. It’s better for the planet and helps support the local economy, too.

When residents and neighbours work locally, they also save time, money, and energy commuting to jobs that might otherwise be farther away. Depending on where you live, local jobs might enable neighbours to walk or bike to work instead of drive. This is beneficial to building better communities and reducing pollution from commuting.

Use Shop Local SA for all your shopping needs

Shop Local SA makes it easier to shop locally by bringing your local shops and business together in one place, allowing you to search for items easily or choose to look at the products in your favourite shops instead. It’s never been easier to shop locally, support small businesses and make greener everyday choices.

THE REAL COST OF E-COMMERCE & HOW TO SELL SMARTER

07/06/2022

by Nic Jones

THE REAL COST OF E-COMMERCE & HOW TO SELL SMARTER

E-commerce is a big priority for businesses these days. The digital landscape can be confusing as there are multiple options, all at different price points, commission percentages, and levels of difficulty in setting up. More often than not, business owners are just outright confused, and confused people do nothing. We have pulled together some important information on the things you need to consider when looking at building an e-commerce website.

THE COSTS

For those that don’t want to use a web designer to create their online presence, there are e-commerce options available but they don’t come for free.

SHOPIFY

Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms. It gets expensive though with monthly fees of approximately $42 AU per month for a basic plan. That's approximately $500 per year just to host a website. You also have to pay for your domain name which can be anywhere from $20 - $50 per year.

Setting the account up is the easy part! Now you have to build your website. The time it takes to do this depends on how many products you have. If you just fill out the boxes and set up the basics your website will look fairly plain Jane (still takes an average of approx 20 hours to complete this stage). If you choose to learn the design process yourself, you could invest another 30 hours into it and still need external help (think about your hourly rate x 20 hours and it starts to add up). Depending on how complex your inventory and shipping rules are, you might need to get some expert help to create custom features. The cost to hire a Shopify web builder starts from $1,000 and can be up to $30,000.

As a conservative estimate for the first year, your set up cost with Shopify would start from $2700. For those with a small online range, or limited technical understanding this figure can blow right out and eat away any profits.

WEB DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

Some business owners realise that e-Commerce websites can be challenging to build. Confusion leads to procrastination, delay and frustration, along with lost time, money and resources. Engaging a web developer can be expensive. It’s important to get 3 quotes at all times, and check their previous work to make sure they are reputable.

To engage a web developer, you need anywhere from $1000 – $30,000. There is no set price for building an online store because the cost varies for different companies, depending on the functionality you need. You still have to pay for your domain name, hosting fee and SSL certificate (if it’s not built using a platform like Shopify). All of this can cost you around $300 per annum.

Your website will need regular updating if your products change regularly. Again this is more time and if you need to engage a web developer to do this for you, you are looking at an hourly rate of $120 - $200/hour.

INSURANCES

Cyber security insurance is something to look into when you are looking at creating an e-commerce business. Don’t assume that you’re covered just because you have public liability, management liability or other business insurance policies in place. Cyber insurance policies cover your risk exposure and, at the very least, includes cover for things like business interruption, loss of data, legal expenses and data recovery. On average, a cyber security insurance policy for your online store will cost around $1000 per year.

WEBSITE RUNNING COSTS

According to the latest research, most small business owners spend around $40,000 in their first year, with 9% of that allocated to online business needs.

WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO SELLING YOUR PRODUCTS ON AN E-COMMERCE WEBSITE?

Joining an e-commerce marketplace is another option to sell your products online with minimal initial set up costs. Every year, the 18 biggest marketplaces sell $1 trillion worth of products. The 2022 Australia Post E-Commerce Industry Report states that 5.4 mil households purchased online monthly in 2021. Having a Business listed in an online marketing is key in ensuring you have the best digital footprint to be able to access these consumers.

SHOP LOCAL SA

Some of the popular online marketplaces such as Ebay, Amazon and Etsy offer you established traffic but come with big competition from overseas retailers. Customers are price sensitive and will compare prices among hundreds of retailers who sell the same products. It is not easy to compete with already established retailers from overseas who have user reviews and selling history.

Shop Local SA is an online marketplace full of products and experiences from South Australian businesses. It provides a one-stop-shop for consumers to buy online knowing they are supporting local.

Shop Local SA is all about contributing to the success of South Australian businesses, underpinning thriving communities and supporting trade between consumers and South Australian businesses.

Our local team works at state, region and town level and helps support South Australian businesses to leverage the strong Shop Local movement.

So, whether you are new to selling online or are looking to bring a new distribution channel into your digital business model we invite you to join us on the journey to bring what consumers are looking for – an easy way to support local.

How to choose the perfect piece of jewellery this Mother's Day

03/05/2022

by Admin Admin

You may be wanting to spoil Mum with a gorgeous gift of a piece of jewellery this Mother’s Day. Hear from Gerard McCabe Jewellers on how best to do this.

You may be wondering where to begin when searching for the perfect piece of jewellery for mum.

Here are some handy hints that will help you choose something extra special that she’ll absolutely love.

Look at her existing style of jewellery

Look at her existing jewellery for clues to her style, is there a particular gold tone that she wears the most, such as rose gold? Or does she prefer multiple colours of gold? What suits her skin tone?

If she often mixes and matches her jewellery, perhaps a design that incorporates multiple colours of gold would suit her.

Is she a vintage or antique jewellery lover, or does she prefer wearing sleek modern designs? Does she enjoy wearing coloured stones or are diamonds and pearls her passion?

She may have taken some initiative and left pictures of her favourite pieces of jewellery lying around, or she may have tagged you in one of her favourite pieces of jewellery online.

If you still need some inspiration, we have 4 jewellery box essentials that you can refer to, she may need one of the pieces that are below to add to her collection.

Pearl Earrings

Pearl Earrings are a sophisticated, classic foundation piece that always makes a gorgeous gift. While luminous pink and rich darker pearls have become en vogue in recent years, the versatility and lustre of beautiful silky white pearl studs make a perfect and thoughtful gift.

Luminosity classic white freshwater pearl earrings

2. Diamond Pendant

A classic and elegant diamond necklace is a handy jewellery box staple that will complement any of Mum’s outfits. It can be paired perfectly with a low cut or high necked blouse, between the collar of a shirt or just sit beautifully against the lines of a dress.

Bloom Diamond Pendant

3. Classic Timepieces

Mum will always arrive on time and in style with a Gerard McCabe timepiece, choose from our selection of simple and elegant watch faces that come with a variety of different band colours, such as white, black and royal blue. We have some stylish options that pair rose gold white, black and french navy.

The Mother's Day Ultimate Gift Guide

20/04/2022

by Amanda Bridge

Your mum deserves to be showered with love 24/7, 365 days a year. But when Mother's Day comes around, it's the time to go all-out with breakfast in bed, fun family activities and gifts galore.

That being said, it may feel next to impossible to find a gift for your mum that fully expresses just how much she means to you. Need some pointers? Browse through these unique Mother's Day gifts to find something that's sure to melt her heart. Whether she's looking for a new handbag, her favourite skin care or a bottle of something to enjoy, browse at your leisure, and take comfort in knowing you’ll be helping out a local South Australian business too.

As you work your way through this list, think about what she's been eyeing (or dropping not-so-subtle hints about) since the holidays — a cute top or some new earrings, for example — and take it from there.

Since Mother's Day is about celebrating mums of all kinds, keep the other women in your life top of mind too.

Check out our gift guide to suit different budgets:

Immortal Rose at Bunches of Love

From $80

Bunches of Love in Murray Bridge is home sweet home to dazzling bouquets and charming floral arrangements that will take Mum’s breath away. Why not get Mum something that will last this Mother’s Day by choosing an Immortal Rose which can last for at least 2 years.

How do they do this? After selecting the best roses and stems for immortalisation they undergo a dipping process in the heat with a preserving solution. This process lasts from 6-8 days depending on the colour in which the rose and stems are being tinted. The result guarantees a 100% immortalised rose. This rose and stem may last up to 2 years without any type of special care. This product does not need water or any type of liquid for hydration - sounds great!

Top things to do this Easter in South Australia

30/03/2022

by Amba Miles

Happy%20Easter.png?1649119328658

As we celebrate an Easter like no other, even with social distancing and restrictions COVID cases have not been dropping in South Australia. Let’s not have it stop us celebrating the extra-long weekend over Easter and make it a very special time.

To some it can be a good opportunity to do some home improvement projects, to others, it is filled with as many activities as possible. Whatever Easter means to you, South Australia has it all covered and we are here to bring you our Guide to the Easter Long Weekend 2022.

Easter is a great time for a Home Improvement project

The weather is cooling down, you’ll have a good stash of power snacks (chocolate) on standby, and there are four full days to get stuck into the task at hand.

So pop on your favourite podcast series or Spotify playlist, fuel up on the aforementioned chocolate and get ready to be impressed with the improvements you can make to your home in such a short space of time.

Here are some relatively easy DIY projects you should be able to knock over at this time.

Give your home a lift with updating your lighting

1Wo-HL2uqDonbn4bxhyRd9y9SBf7QPS1vaKAYfVGMBTrjtGtasBN1_WUOUCJKOMJE3gUCesTHU_Gt4oA8Je7fXxPBzl3t_BkTT5LOXa8OUVLW984eB2YzzOwYBzs10r1bEV0v4jF

Lighting is an area we often take for granted. We’re outraged when there’s a power cut and overwhelmed with the variety of choices when it’s time to buying new bulbs. But a simple exercise like updating your light fittings can really change the entire appearance of your home. It’s an instant and easy way to refresh your space. Instead of going to Bunnings, have a look at these lights from our local vendor Lights on Main and have them delivered in time for your Easter break here:

2. Update your bedroom:

Fancy a new bed for the coming winter? Check out the amazing range at Just The Thing Furniture. This local South Australian business sells direct to the public so you can enjoy some great savings and put them towards other projects. Check out the store here:

3. Do up your outdoor entertainment area

Easter means Family

What brings people together more than food? Nothing! Get the whole family in the kitchen and create the perfect Easter meal. Why not try one of the local seafood shops for some fresh crayfish and prawns to treat your loved ones?

This is the time when we usually travel miles to be with loved ones we haven’t seen for a while; when grandparents enjoy the sight of grandchildren with chocolatey smiles; when big family lunches are followed by big family dinners; when we watch those feel-good movies together.

That may not be possible – but plenty still is. There are some ideas for you to do even if you can’t visit your loved ones this Easter. Why not organise a virtual video call and do something together such as this wonderful Home Cheese Making Workshop by our Eyre Peninsula vendor Korinya Farm Gate.

The best of Adelaide experience 2022

17/03/2022

by Amba Miles

Why Adelaide?

The world's only city within a park, Adelaide isn't only one of the most liveable cities in the world, it’s also a great place to visit. Everything is in such close proximity, meaning there's more time to experience Adelaide.

City of Adelaide:

In the heart of Adelaide’s CBD lie many of South Australia’s major arts and cultural institutions, and the majority of them are free to visit! Some of these include the State Library of South Australia, the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the South Australian Museum, and the Museum of Discovery - Australia’s leading future-focused museum at the University of South Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Adelaide Festival Centre and Adelaide Zoo. What could be better than taking an afternoon study break at the zoo?

From the heritage city centre to its 4 world-class wine districts, scenic beauty and a thriving food scene there’s no shortage of things to do in Adelaide. Come with us as we show you the best of the city and surrounds, where to eat, play and stay and a few tips to make your time in this small but fabulous city the best experience possible.

Dolphin Sanctuary in Port Adelaide:

rS2nbieg1jEyU2HC-Z_mHVMH4G6ak4Vt_Th0R6EdMtXKtnEXrkFestpgTt5P5SWf17dmMFA4kiQ3LwvuK2J3YDB7_VDxc5hzM6wiEJDabC035cQWkbqHISBO0V9L0obDZLBxVEt-

It’s only 30 minutes drive from Adelaide CBD. Port Adelaide has been the gateway to trade and commerce in South Australia and the first contact with South Australia for thousands of emigrants when they arrived by ship. You can visit all the historical buildings along the main road, take a walk along the water and have a coldie at the local pub. If you want some adventure, check out the dolphin sanctuary Kayak tour.

About the tour:

Tours operate within the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary which is a hub of marine adventure. You will go on a guided tour through some of SA’s most beautiful waters, enabling you to get up close and personal with one of the ocean's most playful and friendly creatures.

In the sanctuary, visitors can kayak down creeks lined with mangrove forests which have been there for over 10,000 years, it is the ultimate feeding and resting grounds for local dolphins. Paddle past spectacular shipwrecks that have been abandoned from a bygone era and the sanctuary is also home to abundant birdlife and other creatures that make up the intricate ecosystem.

Cost: from $50 per person

Coffin Bay Oyster Farm Tour:

1DZXf0F0mdNMeS__xPgRP_tgCs62IvAwg4G8TyccraGUbKH-cHTiT4ewFzGe2mHm5oZn2YHglFRQBJksp2dDw1MfT6Zogj3Ab1rFUEIG3mjBFoiugvS7n640BlOPel88vPamTKu6

Coffin Bay is just over 7 hours drive from Adelaide, or you can take a short flight to Port Lincoln and drive from there. It’s a perfect destination for a long weekend road trip if you want to get away from the bustling busy city life.

This tour is chilled and relaxed. You will experience all the beauty of the pure and pristine coastline, but with more time to spot the seals at "The Brothers" islands and slow to enjoy the dolphins if they appear along the way. Surrounded by the Coffin Bay national park on one side and farming land on the other, the tour boat is launched with intimate tables for mingling and has very large windows that can be opened on lovely days to allow you to turn and catch all the action as you motor the approximately 16km out to the oyster lease at the entrance to the Coffin Bay waterway. You will get to see up close the vastness of the prime oyster growing area of the world-famous Coffin Bay oysters. Visit an oyster farm and learn about farming oysters and take the time to pluck fresh ones straight from the ocean to open and enjoy. You can't get any fresher than that! If you would like to immerse yourself in the experience then the option to walk around in the water on the farm is available in your bathers or waders if you prefer. Your tour guide will be the oyster farmer who will happily share knowledge about oyster farming, its history and local knowledge of the area and explore the Coffin Bay waterways - and each person gets 1 dozen oysters! Yum!

Cost: Starting from $155 per person, children under 4 years old are free of charge. Discount available for Seniors
