Newsagents concerned about falling sales for Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook sales may want to check out OZSALE, a member based online discount site. On the site yesterday were plenty of AWW cookbooks including some titles currently in newsagencies for a much higher price.
While I am sure those managing the newsagency channel within Bauer will have an explanation on how this can happen (it was handled by the book division, stock was purchased form a retailer who went broke etc), it will not resolve the fact that it makes us look expensive.
If Bauer is supplying OZSALE they need to stop or they need to supply to us so we can be competitive.
Newsagents should be receiving 40% commission MINIMUM on magazine stock.
This site, iSubscribe, MagShop, etc etc…. everyone else is getting a better deal. Why are Newsagents still on 25%?

Don’t forget IPS 27% commission.
