About Balls N Bumpers

The future strength of Ball N Bumpers is three-fold. * The brand-name recognition of the Balls N Bumpers name, which is already well known in Tasmania and will become known extensively across Australia, as a highly reputable provider of licensed clothing and accessories. * Buying power and product knowledge. It is often as important to know what not to stock in large quantities as it is to know what is HOT. We can assist you with what to buy, what not to buy and where to get it.

* The Balls N Bumpers System is unique. We have spent years identifying a gap in the sports products retail market. Ball N Bumpers sell only licensed products from suppliers approved by organizations such as the AFL, the V8 teams from Holden and Ford, the ARU, the NRL, the NBA, Cricket Australia and so on. Products are tracked on state of the art computer systems, with both strong and weak sellers quickly recognized and appropriate actions taken.
