Membership to the Co‑operative allows the return of all surpluses to members in the form of subsidised wholesale prices and patronage rebates.
Nonetheless, a shareholder member automatically becomes part owner of ILG’s state of the art wide range wholesale distribution centres located in Erskine Park Business Centre, Western Sydney in New South Wales, Richlands in Brisbane, Queensland and Mount St John in Townsville, North Queensland.
The Co‑operative extends its members significant buying power with enhanced marketing opportunities through specific advertising under these banner groups.
A tailored e-commerce solution to suit our members’ independent retail operations, achieved in close collaboration with various Point of Sale Vendors. It is important to us that while we all work collectively as a co-operative, each of our members has the ability to function autonomously and embrace what makes them an independent, therefore working on initiatives that allow our members to adapt their own retail experience.
The ILG e-commerce solution offers members a platform to present their local communities and beyond, a user-friendly online shopping experience anytime and anywhere, increase customer reach and support their own brick & mortar set up. It includes the click & collect and home delivery options, as well as, a rewards program for recognising loyalty and patronage. Furthermore, is the ongoing marketing support through brand awareness and presence in various social media platforms.
The ILG E-Commerce solution is the most recent addition to the numerous benefits gained from being part of Australia’s largest liquor co-operative; a unique structure often copied but never equalled.
