Gordon & Gotch has doubled our supply of Your Trading Edge magazine despite us never selling out. Indeed, a check of sales history – click on the image for detail – does not support any move from four copies per issue. I have looked through the magazine and can’t see any excuse for us now being supplied eight copies. The most copies we have sold is four, our average is barely three. So, why eight copies?
I’d be interested in hearing from other newsagents about their supply of Your Trading Edge magazine. Is this a network-wide oversupply or selective?
Publishers who complain about early returns need to look at this story for it is this behaviour which causes newsagents to look at striking back against a system which hurts and disrespects them.
you are lucky being supplied doubled, we never sold more than 3 copies , but supoplied 13 copies.
Hows the love affair with IPS going.
We keep getting more #X*! that we did not order.
If this is the way of the future get ready for more newsagency closures.
For us it was Puzzler Sudoku. Sold 7 copies over the last 5 issues we received, sent 39 last week!
