Cameron Douglas, CEO of Videopro, joined ABC Brisbane Mornings with Steve Austin as part of the regular retail panel alongside fellow panelist, Christine Moody.
In this segment, the discussion focused on the impacts of the Iran war and the fuel crisis on retail, including insights into rising costs and the importance of communication between all stakeholders including suppliers and customers, and how the fuel crisis is impacting retailers and consumers.
Key Topics from the Discussion
- The fuel crisis and the impact on retailers and consumer spending.
- The increase in shop lifting and theft, and the anti-theft measures that retailers are implementing in stores.
- The proposed re-zoning strategy of 'Tall over Sprawl' of some Brisbane City Council suburbs to meet housing demands, and the effect this may have on retail.
- Membership programs such as One Pass and Amazon Prime, and the benefits of programs like this to retailers and consumers.
- Haig's chocolate is coming to Brisbane!
During the discussion, Cameron highlighted that:
“The fertiliser and diesel impact is real. And it’s hitting hard and it's hitting fast. Those prices will come through an they will get passed on.”
