I was at the GNS Market Fair in Brisbane yesterday and got to catch up with plenty of newsagents. Most I spoke with were happy with business, reporting growth. I also go to speak to several people buying their first newsagency business. They were excited for the opportunities. Suppliers I spoke with too were happy with sales at the fair. The trade show floor itself was buzzing with good deals from professional looking stands. Industry suppliers were putting on a good show. Maybe those who talk the channel down should get out more and talk to proactive newsagents.
Thank you for the supportive comments, Mark.
