Australian Newsagency Blog

The Globe and Mail has a story about newsstands closing in Canada. Newsagents should read this. Not to get depressed but to understand the need for retail reinvention.

Sure media disruption is impacting the newsagency / newsstand business. My view is that the bigger impact is our channel’s failure to invest in our own future, our failure to create a compelling current retail offer.

While some have, the majority have not. Shofits are often the same and built to be set and forget. We let our suppliers dominate what we do and how we do it. We are not in control of what could be exciting retail reinvention.

Read the Globe and Mail story and commit that this will not be what they write about you.
