Cloth Dolls & Bears – the magazine that never dies

cloth-dolls-bears.JPGWhen Vaughan Lawrence of Beechworth Newsagency told me of how shabbily his business had been treated by NDD in relation to Cloth Dolls & Bears I knew I had to check my situation. Sure enough, we have received the same issue six times over the last two years. I stress, the same issue six times over the last two years. It’s total sell through rate is 45%. The title loses $20.00 net a year for us. While the loss is not much, NDD would know the title is a failure yet they continue to send it to us and other newsagents, milking our cash.

I will write to the ACCC about this title as it offers further hard evidence of unconscionable conduct by NDD toward newsagents.

    write to the board of directors and seek a definitive mandate from them of their business plan and how it interlocks with newsagents, using the clear example of the fraudulent reissuing of a magazine that has the affect of duping members of the public to part with their money in the belief they are getting genuine value for money.
