Individual newsagents continue to protest the decision by Vodafone to but their commission on mobile phone recharge product by 37.5% from 8% to 5%. Once newsagents found out yesterday that Australia Post Licenced Post Offices are reportedly being cut from 8% to 7% more came out and discussed the measures they are taking in their businesses.
Most newsagents I have spoken with are protesting for a fixed period of time and explaining to customers that they are doing it to send a message to Vodafone about their unilateral decision to cut the revenue newsagents earn. They are using it as an opportunity to pitch the small business story. David v. Goliath (Vodafone and Australia Post).
I expect this campaign will continue for several weeks more. Newsagents want Vodafone to agree to the same commission as has been reportedly agreed with Australia Post.
