How to create your Newsagency of the Future

future-newsagency.jpgI am speaking at a series of workshops next month on How to create your Newsagency of the Future.  After months of planning I am pleased to be finally able to announce the details of this important workshop series for newsagents.

The announcement is timely with the launch of the Apple iPad tomorrow since part of the workshop content will look at the likely impact of the iPad and similar technologies on the newsagency channel.

It is time for newsagents to look more carefully at the implications significant changes to the distribution channel which will affect newspapers and magazines.

The time is also right to discuss online strategies and how these may work for newsagents.  Some newsagents are having tremendous success while others are wondering why they bothered.

I will share details from the latest newsagent benchmark study which tests the health of the newsagency channel as we currently know it.

I will also share case studies of newsagents who are transforming their businesses, attracting new traffic and selling better margin product.  This will include sharing some secrets on how to get good knowledge on good margin product trends.

I promise a practical business-building session which will leave participants with change opportunities which can be implemented in almost any situation and with a better understanding of what the future may hold.

Access to the workshop is FREE and open to all newsagents.  To book, please book online here or download the booking form here and fax this to the number noted.

While the workshop is funded by my software company, Tower Systems, it is NOT a sales pitch. I’m not out to sell you anything. What I want is a healthier and stronger newsagency channel, a channel with a bright future for newsagents, their employees, their suppliers and all of the families which rely on the newsagency channel for income.

I am happy to consider dates beyond those listed.  Make contact with me direct if you and a group of newsagent colleagues would like a workshop hosted closer to your location.

    Hi Mark,
    Any chance of you adding Brisbane or Gold Coast?
    How many people would we need to make it worthwhile for you?

    Gold Coast is only a hope away from Brisbane. FNQ is as far from Brisbane as Melbourne is to Brisbane. How about Cairns. I would still have to travel 300k to Cairns but would not travel to Brisbane
