Smart newspaper stand

I was back in Auckland yesterday and took a photo of a newspaper stand I have often admired. I like that it’s promoting magazines, drinks, candy and newspapers. It’s something now being used in most corporate transit newsagency situations in Australia.  I though some non-transit newsagents might find it interesting.

I am not planning on this stand for any only my newsagencies – I prefer more flexibility with what I place with newspapers. Also, I have my newspapers deeper into the store rather than on the lease line as shown in the photo. This works well for us.

    How far deeper – 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 way in – would you call deeper?

    Thanks

    If I recall correctly, that store has the greatest sales per square meter out of all the stores in the chain. Very impressive.

    Though, I think they’ve done the right thing by keeping it at the edge of the lease line. It slows down travelers who are moving quickly to their gates and probably get them to explore more inside the shallow store.
