Like many other newsagents, we received many copies of each edition of Annette Sym’s Symply Too Good To Be True cookbooks on Friday. While I suspect (hope) that the Network Services magazine allocation system made a mistake, we are trying to make the most of the situation by creating a display at the entrance to our main magazine aisle. We have dressed an old stand and given it over entirely to Annette Sym’s popular brand. I certainly saw customers browse products from the stand today after they had made their selection of another title elsewhere in the aisle.
Looking at the photo now the only issue may be our placement next to the Darrell Lea stand. Hmm…
We too were hoping that the Network allocation system made a mistake – but for a different reason. Unfortuntly we only received 1 copy of each title. Very strange.
We received 18 months supply…payment due on the 20th or Network will cut off supply!!
We only got number 4…………….
I only received one of each as well ,its funny how it works some get to many some get not enough some get nothing at all ,one thing i am glad for is a lot of us send off sales data to them every day or they would really stuff up our orders .
We received half dozen of each, perfecr allocation. Would have been excellent to get
some point of sale also, would be able to show them off over Easter. As it is a block looks good in the Food Section

try 166 copies in total. Almost 12 months supply for our store. 80% of these will be returned.
As STGTBT cookbooks are reissues, they should be on request basis only. Another case where Network is using newsagents to reduce their holding costs.
we got 214 and returned 150. We are on topped returns so this will be a big loss for the publisher.
