What customers think about magazine back issues in bags

It is interesting to see what a newsagency customer has to say about magazine back issues in a bag at the Caravaners Forum:

Went to a News Agent this morning to pick up a caravan magazine, the large format one and the one which I do not subscribe, despite it being my favourite.

Unusually it was in plastic & I thought beaut, there is something free inside. The bag says save 28% (from memory). The other mag was some Caravan & Motorhome Trader thing. No interest to me. I’m thinking if I run out of newspaper I can use it to start the fire at home. $9.95? Hang on it is normally only $7.95 so how am I saving 28%?

I will have a look at other News Agents & if I can’t buy it on it’s own at $7.95, I won’t buy it at all.

I am not overly concerned, just that I am not paying an extra $2.00 for landfill.

The forum itself, which I found out about yesterday, will be of terrific interest and help to newsagents with strong sales of caravan, motorhome and camper titles.  Forum members love newsagencies because they can get their magazine fix easily from us while on the road.

There is an opportunity here to somehow better connect with caravaners – especially if you see plenty coming through your town.
