Australian Newsagency Blog

My blog post about Geare magazine has generated another example - thanks Greg at Chelsea Newsagency - Australian Roadrider (Motorcycles & Travel) (Vol 9 #2 (No.41). PBL owned Network Services reissued this today. In the case of my newsagency we received 9 on April 4. Today they supplied another 4. While we have sold 5 of the first 9 there is no evidence in our sales history suggesting we would sell out. And if Network is using sales data about the 5 sold so far to justify extra stock then it process they can also use the sales data to provide for more equitable supply of other titles.

This grab for cash from newsagents has to stop. There is no justification for Network supplying additional copies today other than to serve their cash flow.
