Astro diary range ad promotes newsagents

astrodiaryThis week the Body & Soul insert in News Corp. Sunday newspapers will have this ad promoting the Astro diary range in newsagencies. As the only retailers offering the product our channel is well placed to leverage the opportunity. In my stores we have the floor display unit in a high-traffic location and its working.

This is a product offered to the channel by Universal Magazines at sale or return with delayed billing until 2014.

    Well and truly oversupplied with these, received 2 bulks, one would have been enough, and when we can get much better margin with non magazine diaries I’m not a fan. Early returned 1/2, have had them displayed next to the newspapers, have sold 0 units. Then today 3 issues are resupplied individually. WHY? I’d suggest to get their distribution numbers up. Send out 3 of these to 1/2 of the newsgents in Australia x commission for each = how distributors now exist!

    Received one lone Sagitarius diary for some reason today. Haven’t sold either of the first two so buggered if I know why they decided we needed another.

    More received here too. A random selection of zodiac signs, not reflective of the few we have sold. I like the product, but it just won’t sell at the moment. I certainly didn’t want more.

    If only you had read your star sign Peter … you could have foreseen this oversupply before it happened.
