- Your business will be directly promoted to all members throughout New Zealand.
- You will have the opportunity to market directly to members and promote your goods and services online.
- Our members will be able to search for you directly through our website
- Our members will be able to search for you directly through our 24
hour help desk
- Our members will be able to search for you directly through their
mobile phones
You can also list item for sales directly on our site. The Garage Sale is
ideal if you have unwanted stock to move.
Online Sales
The Garage Sale Online
Catering to our supplier network and a variety of wholesalers the ‘Garage Sale’ aspect of our website will offer goods for sale directly from the site. Many of these items will be:
- end of line goods
- previous seasons stock
- sample stock
- cosmetically damaged items
- seconds
Members can list and purchase items online which will be shipped directly to their homes. This allows suppliers to dispose of goods without a direct effect on their ‘over the counter’ clients.
All items sold by our supplier network or directly through our website are covered by the
Consumer Guarantees Act. Please note suppliers add costs for P & H and/or shipping/courier to goods when purchasing from our website. Some items will be dispatched directly from a wholesale outlet – in these cases any warranty or other
enquiries will be handled by In Uniform New Zealand on behalf of the supplier.
+Saver – Super Deals
In Uniform will work with our supplier network to come up with the
occasional One Off super specials available exclusively to our members.
These goods will be at least 50% CHEAPER THAN RETAIL, However limited
numbers or limited time applies to all +Saver deals. +Saver items change
regularly and vary immensely, so keep an eye on them for the best bargains.
Having spent more than 20 years in retail, before and since joining the
Fire Service, I understand the strain on businesses and particularly on
margins in the current climate. You need to profit from your business - this
is why we allow you many options: you may choose to offer our members a
straight discount on your products and services or perhaps a free
consultation is better suited to your business. If you have an in-house loyalty scheme bonus rewards points are a cost effective option. Your products may lend themselves to a floating discount dependant on products, volume or price point. Your trade pricing could be extended to our members or maybe just an extra stamp on your coffee card.
In Uniform is prepared to discuss and consider any offer that is genuine, sustainable for you and of benefit to our members. If you currently offer rewards such as Flybuys this should run alongside your offer, so as not to penalise members for shopping with you. Offers that are lower or the same as those available to the general public may not hold interest for our members and, although we may advertise them on your behalf, the uptake will be very low and you may not benefit from joining our network.
Generally there is NO cost in joining In Uniform as a supplier. There are No joining fees. There maybe a setup cost if you choose to accept our cards directly through your EFT-POS system. There are commissions payable for items listed on the Garage Sale site. There are advertising opportunities on the site or for direct marketing to members. Some suppliers may be subject to a finder’s fee, dependant on the type and value of goods or services sold.
You also have two upgrade options when joining In Uniform:
Platinum Suppliers: Your investment for platinum membership is $295 +GST per
annum, paid monthly or quarterly. This entitles you to:
- Two national direct marketing campaigns per year.

If you are thinking of joining contact our support team for more
information. Once you log on you can browse by name, category, region, post code, etc. Members can find local suppliers through our 24 hour
free phone Help-desk, through text messaging or by searching our website. Even when travelling members simply text to find the nearest discount provider.
Our Supplier Network is divided into three tiers – all as important as each other.
National Retail and Service Providers
Nationally recognised chain stores and service providers who offer a reward, discount or offer exclusive to our members. This includes a negotiated discount on every
litre of fuel from Shell Oil (NZ), using the In Uniform “Fuel + Rewards” Card.
Regional Providers
Regional suppliers who can fill niche markets around New Zealand generally in areas not covered by our national providers. These suppliers still offer a benefit to members.
Member Providers
Many of our members are qualified trades people and many have businesses of their own. These members will be invited to join and offer their service to all members in their region.
All of our suppliers agree to terms and conditions of supply and are monitored for quality of supply. Members have the opportunity to place feedback on suppliers. Suppliers must maintain 98% positive feedback to be invited back to the scheme. Members may also nominate new suppliers, who we will vet, approach and negotiate with for the benefit of the supplier and all members.
