Sunday newsagency challenge: list what hasn’t sold

Go to your software and run a report listing stock on the shelves for which you have not sold one item in the last six months. In most newsagencies where I run this report the owners are shocked as it lists the value of this dead stock. A common response is to do nothing about it. I tell people buying newsagencies to not pay wholesale for dead stock – it should be discounted by its age.
