Happy New Year. Thanks for stopping by.
2024 has been a year of resilience and adaptation. While headlines focused on the cost of living, my experience (and that of many other retailers) tells a different story. Consumers are prioritising experiences that bring them joy, and that’s showing in our channel. Sales of puzzles, games, and collectibles are strong, growing, as people seek entertainment at home. The rise of online shopping has also been a boon for Aussie newsagents. We’ve seen fantastic growth in online revenue, with some newsagents adding over $150,000 this year.
If your newsagency isn’t experiencing this same success, you’re not alone! There are many resources available to help.
The Aussie newsagency community is here to support you. Reach out to me at mark@newsxpress.com.au and let’s chat about your business and what you’d like to achieve.
Have an awesome 2025!
