Newsagents ripped off with travel pads

fhn_network_travel_pads.JPGNetwork Services this morning sent our stock of the Pirates Travel Pad and the Princess Travel Pad.  I don’t want these products.  I have similar products which I choose to stock and from which I earn 50% margin.  Why would I want copycat product for a 25% margin – and with a three months onsale?  This product should never have made it to newsagencies.  I am early returning mine but still have to waste time and money on this.  And magazine distributors wonder why newsagents get angry.  While I am sure there will be reasons (excuses) for newsagents being supplied this product they will not wash.  These are not magazines.  They should not have got through any reasonable assessment for access to our channel.
