Newsagents playing in the convenience space ought to read the Neilsen Convenience Report 2007. It’s made available by Neilsen and Australian Convenience Store News – an excellent resource for anyone in the convenience space.
Page 22 has some interesting data on magazines – men’s magazines account for 47% of sales, Zoo Weekly is the top selling title. I suspect that Newsagents will find the rest of the magazine results fascinating – they underscore a point of difference non-convenience newsagents can embrace. They also highlight opportunities for convenience focused newsagents.
