Courtesy of Andrew Pascoe’s under the rotunda Blog I found out that News and Fairfax have been buying another online business each:
News Digital Media has purchased Moshtix, the online ticketing business where patrons use their mobile phone as the ticket to enter events.
Fairfax Digital has bought Essential Baby, a parenting website.
While publishers have spent hundreds of millions acquiring online revenue streams, newsagents are yet to spend a cent. Am I alone in seeing a problem here for newsagents?
Hi, Mark.
Have you visit
http://www.i-soldit.comm.au.
It is a franchise group which encourage local people drop off their products and sale it over internet.
These shops are hubs of local community with internet connection. So how about a similar structure for newsagents?
Newsagents can form a partnership with a national logistic network.
The story of i-soldit.com.au is listed in
Which Franchise? magazine 7th Edition.
Cheers,
Sunny
Thanks Sunny. I have seen i sold it for much of the last year. We are hoping our find it network can offer a competitive newsasgent opportunity.
