AC/DC coin set from the Royal Australian Mint driving traffic for the newsagency

At 8:30am yesterday the embargo on the new AC/DC boxed coin set was lifted and by this morning, in 24 hours, we had sold $2,750 worth of the set from one store. This, like other collectible coin sets is another net new traffic driver for the newsagency. 37% GP is good, especially where you can for sure turn all your stock a month before you have to settle the account.

Net new traffic is vital for our businesses. This is achieved through understanding. I know of newsagents who will say I don’t have coin collectors in my area.

A common response from newsXpress members getting into coins is that they are surprised at who purchases them.Besides lovers of coin magazines, newspaper customers are common purchasers of coin sets.

This AC/DC coin set is a success as it’s only been out a day. It will sell out.

And … here’s the pitch – this is a newsXpress success story. Driving net new traffic and delivering bankable profit for a safe outlay. Great news in 2020!
