I was in a couple of transit location newsagencies yesterday and discovered plenty of stock of the Australian Open tennis programs. The sighting of all the spare stock made me wonder if these were the copies Network failed to supply me. Regulars here will know that we expected to sell close to 30 copies this year based on previous sales. The allocations geniuses at Network cut us back to 2 copies, denying us hundreds of dollars in revenue. Calls to the company resulted in nought.
Mark, why would they let Victorian newsagents have 25% when they could
get the full profit at both Rod Laver Arena
and Hisense Arena — sorry to be so cynical!!!
ps. we have a ticketek agency so everyone
who purchased open tickets we sold a program to them and they were very happy with the service.
its like the one day cricket guide, recieved them on monday and theres already been 3 games played…..
Not ONE player in the system is on the side of the newsagent, are they….. gives me the proverbial………
This this with the tennis program is so dumb. Makes a mockery of their claim to need accurate sales data. Their customer service in responding to issues like this when we want to help them sell product is pathetic!
Can we collectively negotiate with ACCC to withhold our data as a group until its is used properly?
A collective boycott is permitted by ACCC under certain circumstances – hit them where it hurts them! Wont cost us a cent
Brett, what would it achieve?
They don’t use the data, I doubt withholding it would cause any drama. You have been screwed over this year, just remember that next year when they want you to stock it.
An option is to stop carrying their products.
