Kick start your newsagency in 2009

5ways.jpgI think smart newsagents have a bright future this year - despite the downbeat reports I blog about from time to time about newsapers and magazines.  To put my money where my mouth is I have organised 5 WAYS TO KICK START YOUR NEWSAGENCY.  This is a two hour workshop packed with business building ideas.  The workshop will run in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.  It is free to attend.  I promise you will find it worthwhile.  No sales pitch, just good business ideas for you.  All newsagents are welcome regardless of the marketing group to which you belong or the software you use.   This session is about neither - it is about providing you with practical business building initiatives you can implement today.  Click here to download the flyer with dates and booking details.

    The challenges are certainly great.
    I was in Macquarie Centre (NSW) tonight and ‘Read and Write’ had an outpost outside Big W where they had Back to School stuff. Amongst many things, they had a 96 page Victory exercise book for $0.95c. Big W were selling the same notepad for $0.09c (yes…nine cents). Surely that was below cost for even Big W.

    will suppliers be welcome to attend? It is useful to better understand newsagents needs.

    Certainly Richard. I am keen to facilitate active consideration of business growth ideas by newsagents and their (our) suppliers.

    Mark,

    Will there be a set of notes available for those of us who are unable to attend ??
    More than happy to purchase.

    Baz, There will be something, either PowerPoint online, a recording or handouts or all three. Mark
