If you have 10 minutes, join me on a look at the difference newsXpress has made to this high street Melbourne business, and see the value of engagement with cards

One reason I own newsagencies is to show, rather than tell. The high street Malvern business is an example of that. Take a look at the September numbers in this business:

As I say in the video, everything we are doing in the business is what is offered and pitched to newsXpress members. There is nothing exclusive or unique in the approach here.

For sure, we are proud of the results so far.

And, yes, this business does not have lotteries.

    Hi, Mark.

    Sunny, 1,100 I think. Total floorspace is 220sqm. We forecast card sales for calendar 2022 to pass $250K. Card GP is 67.5%.

    Late to this but just watched while having a late breakfast out the back of the shop. It’s interesting seeing the results presented like this. There is no arguing with data. All the groups that tell people they help newsagents grow their businesses should present evidence like this. Good on you mark.
