Stationery News should not be sent to newsagents

IMG_0310 (2)I have been thinking about the scaling out of Stationery News to newsagents as a subscription unless we cancel. My opinion is this should not be done as it abuses the magazine supply model.

All other titles we receive are done so on a sale or return basis. Stationery News ought not be supplied unless newsagents explicitly order it.

I would love to know how the current model came about.

While I like reading the magazine. It is not commercially worth the annual subscription fee in my view, not in today’s world with more efficient and access friendly sources of news.

    I have asked why it was sent out firm sale and have been advised it will be able to be returned from Thursday.

    From Gotch:

    Yes sorry about this – the second release was for agents who missed the first one due to that original error. However, when we sent this group out, it was left at firm sale, not sale or return.

    That has now been fixed and agents can return it if they do not want to keep it on subscription (as per normal)
